im running karmic all updates as of ten minutes ago...
the only way i have been able to get ekiga to work (echo test) is to
kill pulseaudio before starting it. "pasuspender -- ekiga" doesnt do
the trick. other gnome apps work fine like sound-
recorder/banshee/flash/etc.
additionally, i receive
agreed that tip/link from Jean-François worked very well.
i still get the flashing gnome-panels and am seeking a solution to that,
the readahead hack sped everything up.. i would make a bootchart but i
have changed things, but the blackout after my gnome-panels dissapears
is less than 10 seconds
if you want it free youve got to be willing to spend some time wrestling
with it..
luckily ubuntu has worked very well on the several machines i have
installed it on, for myself and others. however every single one of
them had quirks, some of which took a LONG time to figure out, and other
less s
i since ditched feisty and went back to messing with gutsy. gutsy is in
all a very good developmental release and i hope to see splendiferous
things from hardy.
this time however i installed xubuntu.
i enabled compiz/emerald/NetworkManager, and have not had any of the
problems described herein.
i too have a somewhat slow bootup time; nothing to the severity of many
minutes, but still, a significant increase when compared to feisty.
i am running a IBM T43 laptop, and also gutsy is installed on a DELL
INSPIRON B130. same problem with both.
one thing i do notice after looking @ ps output
ok.
nice little bootchart program, wouldve been nice if i could have done
this a little easier tho...
anyways i modified the running parameters of the bootchart program so it would
not stop running when it gdm/init.d was processed, that way we could get a look
at what all was happening on my T4
forgot to add one little thing...soo tired...
i tried disabling gnome-at-visual (in session preferences {assistive
technology/AT}) because the chart showed a strange 2 seconds of zombie
time after login... but this did not do anything. also i seem to have
misinterpreted the chart referring to na
ok.
i have been restarting my computer all day testing different
configurations and looking at many, many...many post-gdm bootcharts...
in fact i triggered 2 'force checks' on my laptop so i rebooted at least
60 times haha
anyway, i have a few interesting things to report. i am running Gutsy
fin
i just installed hardy alpha 1...problem persists in the same way.
again gnome panels appear right away just like feisty, only to be near
immediately killed, then reappear 10+ seconds later. occurs in the same
way as gutsy, but maybe to be expected since this is only alpha 1.
i will be reverting
