Lucid slower boot than Karmic

[jrothwell97]

OK. Try uploading the image again, don't bother with the .tar.gz file. We should be able to read it.

Karmic boot was 1min 5 secs. Lucid is 18 seconds and that is to a usable desktop. Clean install.
See the sticky in general help for boot issues.

jrothwell97,

.tgz and .png files attached

Sorry the .tgz upload says invalid file, tried the individual files but it's sooo slow as to be silly.

Bump! someone please help with this.... I use the same CD of Lucid which everyone else has downloaded, why is my boot time higher than others...I agree that hardware plays a major role but then my system does not use much outdated hardware either!

He is my boot-chart .png. Now if you look at my time you will notice that I am only getting 25 Seconds, which is slower than yours. I am quite happy with this as when I had was using Vista & Windows7 they both took about between 1.30 to 2 min's to boot to desktop, then maybe another min to settle down with all the Anit-Virus and Windows network manager and all the other paraphernalia that must start up on boot. So my question would be.

How have you got 24 seconds and I can only get 25 and that is with a Western Digital Raptor as my main H/Drive..

No seriously, every computer is in essence different so everyone's times will be different. Lucid has now another couple of years to mature, it's only been out for 13 Days give it some chance to settle and the last few bug's to get ironed out.

PS: Do what I do bug everyone I know that still runs Windows by asking them how long does it takes to boot Windows. Then Laugh at them and say " try 24 Seconds.. "

Yikes, sorry for not getting back to you sooner...

This is damned peculiar. I can't see any particular bottleneck in that bootchart (although I'm no expert: perhaps someone else will succeed in spotting something there that is blindingly obvious but I'm missing.) Do you have a concrete figure for your boot time in Karmic? There is a chance (a small chance, I stress) that difference may, in fact, be perceptive rather than real.

The figure at the top of my chart says 59:38s

Thanks Jrothwell for looking into this..After I had installed Karmic I used a stop watch to check the boot time , from the system being set on to the login screen(20 seconds) and from login to a functional desktop(4-5 seconds)....

In lucid my problem here is from start on to the login screen it takes close to 45 seconds(that is a little too much), from the login screen to the desktop it takes very less time(2-3 seconds now.. this is after I uninstalled Gwibber, pulseaudio and the indicator applet)
