 |
|
Hello!
I know it sounds somehow rediculous, but the startup of my KDE (not KDM) gets slower and slower each time I start it. A week ago the percentage shown below the spalsh-scrren jumped from 0 to 50% and from there to 100%. About 5 days ago it took the steps 0-33-66-100 and not it is down to 8-16-.... The last step (when all the icons have allready become bright) is the one that tooks longer I think.
Does anybody know (or can guess) what the reason for theis strange behaviour might be?
Thanx, Tiberius |

1) If you don't need the session management turn it off via kcontrol.
It will speed up KDE launch and shutdown. Interrupted sessions are most likely to cause problems or slowdowns on startup. I prefer to have everything i need on startup (basically konsole) in ~/.kde/Autostart.
2) Disable the splashscreen.
It is nice eye candy, but doesn't give you a speedup. And it isn't too exciting when you have seen it a thousand times. 
To disable it, just comment out the following lines in /usr/kde/3.1/bin/startkde :
| Code: |
# the splashscreen and progress indicator
#if [ -n "$KSPLASH" ]; then
# $KSPLASH
#else
# ksplash
#fi
