Decrease Boot Time (speed) in Ubuntu 9.04, Part 2

Thursday, 2. July 2009, 08:32:08

, , , ...

This is continuation of the last article. Here will be some easy advices, also you wont need to work with console in this time.

  • Go to "System" -> Preferences -> StartUp Applications and turn off by unchecking needless services. For example, I unchecked Evolution Alarm Notifier, Gnome Login Sound, Gnome Splash screen, Remote Desktop (I dont use Remote Desktop), Update Notifier (Manual Update is better), User Folders Update, Visual Assistance(For people who has problems with eyes), any time you can turn on them.

  • Go "System" -> Administration -> Services. Here you dont need to turn off anything. Here you can turn off Bluetooth (if you dont have it), Apache and Sabma,

  • In Synaptic install "bum" package. After, go to "System" -> Administration -> "BootUp-Manager", and turn off what is needless. WARNING: DO NOT TURN OFF ANYTHING, JUST TURN OFF WHAT IS REALLY NEEDLESS.


To Be Continued ...

Decrease Boot Time (speed) in Ubuntu 9.04 Part 1

Saturday, 9. May 2009, 15:17:52

, , ,

First off all, install "bootchart" package, from Synaptic package manager. This application is needed for comparing with current boot speed.

Now please restart your system ... After restarting you will find PNG file with boot time in "/var/log/bootchart" directory. This time is till loading GDM.

After rebooting, lets tweak our Ubuntu now.

1. Lets change boot screen.

Open Menu.lst

sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst


Find and change the line with 

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-12-generic root=UUID=619b888a-ccd8-40b8-a1dc-8ca721829b3f ro quiet splash


to 

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-12-generic root=UUID=619b888a-ccd8-40b8-a1dc-8ca721829b3f ro


2. After Kernel loaded, system loads initial ramdisk, initrd. If you would extract this archive it will take about 25 mb, so we can re-build initrd. It is easy process.

Just open 

sudo gedit /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf


Find line 
MODULES=most


and change it to

MODULES=dep


Now rebuild it, with command 

sudo update-initramfs -k all -u


Now it takes about 6-7 mb after extracting.

3. If your CPU has 2 or more cores ... you can do like this ...

Install "insserv" package from Synaptic.

Open

sudo gedit /etc/init.d/rc


Find line

CONCURRENCY=none


and change it to 

CONCURRENCY=shell


Now reboot your system and see your result.

To be continued ....
