| Hi Jari, | | I'm afraid that PII/500Mhz is realy a minimum requirement, | i have used until last year a PII celeron/400Mhz, | though it doesn't explain why the splash screen does need 15 minutes ... | Starting Krusader should take about 15 to 20 seconds i think. | | I guess that a (kde?)package is missing on your computer, | that causes all the trouble, the difficult thing is to find out which one .= | .. | Anyway i will try to reproduce the problem on a clean Debian installation | without kde. | My system has a full kde enviroment + some gnome stuff. | | The spashscreen can be disabled in Konfigurator after the first start | of Krusader, i don't think that the developers will add a commandline | option | for this.
Running the test on empty system does not reflect the every day usage, so I suggest some load and activity + many other programs running at the same time (when memory is being swapped to disk). So you can very well the current system. Run firefox with 20 tabs to exhaust the memory a little and then try krusader .... At least the Debian packaging should be shipped with splash screen disabled even if the developers may think "Hey, I occupy your screen - you won't mind me doing that" mentality is "cool". I can't see numerous KDE applications to use splash screens. Even E.g. Firefox/Thunderbird (comparable in size) do not need splashes to make them announce themselves. I really can't see any value here. Any splash screen is sure to disturb on going work under window manager: - The splash is large; occupies fair amount of the viewable area (try 1024x764 laptops that are used in numbers) - It stays on top and cannot be hidden, minimized or put away. When system is busy and program does not get past to initialisation, the splashes are a real source of annoyance. The program startup time is not the problem. Once it's up, it will stay there for weeks or months until reboot. But inability to do work while program starts is the problem.
