Jaunty Xubuntu

[zeusfaber]

I performed an upgrade from intrepid to jaunty using "update-manager -d" today and things are working well. One issue I noticed is startup times once I login. The desktop starts quickly but compiz (fusion-icon) and network-manager (and wicd) take probably a minute before they are running. There aren't many other apps that startup on login, just tomboy, screensaver and etc. I did not have this issue with intrepid. Anyone else seen this? Any clues what might be the cause?

Thanks!

Why would you run Xubuntu and use Compiz? Seems a bit odd.

Not sure about your issue though.

why not? xfce + compiz is very pleasing on the eyes... ;)

but i'm too without an answer... sorry

I agree that any speed gain at bootup is lost after logging in. But at least I get to watch my nice desktop wallpaper while waiting for the panels and icons to load. In my case, the wait may be ten extra seconds rather than the minute or more that you are waiting.

Other than a few small quirks, I am really grooving on Jaunty with the new xfce environment. The only thing that causes me concern; one time while emptying the trash folder, the machine froze solid. The trash wasn't very large, maybe a few hundred MB. I'm thinking it probably is related to the ext4 thing.

If it hung while in the process of actually removing the files then you're probably correct. If it hung just as you clicked the clear trash option, probably not.

Which was it? :)

The trash contained several files including gtk themes, text files, some icon themes. There was also one vob file I use for testing, about 350 MB in size, and that was the file it hung on (after the other trash files had disappeared from the folder). I have since tried to duplicate the situation and have experienced no problem. I had just copied and pasted the files to a new folder, which worked as expected, and was removing (deleting) the original files from the old folder.

This is on a fresh install of Xubuntu Jaunty on its own partitions, not an upgrade.
