[SOLVED] Nice/ Smooth Login

[Ohwii]

Hi Guys,

is it possible to smoothen the login in ubuntu. every time I start ubuntu the awn icons float into the bar, there are fragments loading and the desktop turns black for a short time.

Well I use compiz.( just as a info )

It would be very nice if someone could help.Thanks

Write yourself a script to load everything with a short delay.

Like this:

#!/bin/bash
sleep 5
compiz &
while [ -z $(ps -o comm= -C compiz.real) ]; do
  sleep 2
done
avant-window-navigator &

wouldnt that mean that everything loads twice.

since I but it into the sessions manager.

could you also write how to implement it I mean how do I auto run the scrpit

You have to remove AWN's separate entry from the autostarted programs of course.
And choose None under System → Preferences → Appearance → Visual Effects

Ive written the script and browsed to the file in the sessions manager.

#!/bin/bash
sleep 5
compiz &
while [ -z $(ps -o comm= -C compiz.real) ]; do
  sleep 2
done
avant-window-navigator &

sleep 2 cairo-clock &

but it doesnt work?

I mean how can I let it auto run

First of all

sleep 2 cairo-clock &

won't work this way.
But there's no need to delay anything further after Compiz anyway.

Try this:

#!/bin/bash
sleep 5
compiz &
while [ -z $(ps -o comm= -C compiz.real) ]; do
  sleep 2
done
avant-window-navigator &
cairo-clock &

Then save it e.g. as 'compiz-start' in your home directory.
Afterwards you have to make it executable:

chmod u+x compiz-start

Then test it:

./compiz-start

Finally let GNOME run the script on startup.

Works nice, but still the Awn creates fragments of white bars and the cairo clock is also only fragmented.

The good part is that the icons are not flying anymore. =D>

thank a lot for your time. If you have some other solution to the smoothening please let me know.

bye

I'm sorry, I am using neither AWN nor Cairo-Clock, so I can't say much about them.

Btw: if you like Cairo-Clock, you might want to try Screenlets.
