Hey guys, Does anyone know if anything changed in 2013 from 2012 that would cause ridiculous startup slowdowns?
At work we have CentOS 6.3. In my particular box 2012 starts relatively fast, but 2013 hangs for a very VERY long time (20 minutes to several hours sometimes) before showing me a working UI. Both use the same workgroups. 2013 is mostly idle while this happens. Little to no CPU usage. It's as if it's waiting for something. They reimaged my OS once and it briefly seemed fixed but the issue returned. On other computers I don't get such a drastic slowdown, so I'm inclined to think it's not something to do with my home folder. Also one time for kicks we updated everything (to CentOS 6.4 with all the updates) and then it was roughly the same speed between versions again. I could do this again but then I'm the only one who's updated and we're trying to keep boxes consistent. Also other people have logged on here and they too experience crazy slow startups, so it's not just my user. Anybody have any idea what sort of madness is messing with my 2013 startup? What could be so different?! Any pointers appreciated. Cheers, -- Alan
