Public bug reported:
I have been using bootchart to detect hotspots in the boot process.
I have found that lsb_release takes up to 15 secs the first time it is
called (from kernel-helper -> update-grub). And around 5 seconds the
next time (called from jockey-gtk).
The first time it is only needed to set the titles for the entries in
the grub file menu.lst. I have changed /usr/sbin/update-grub as follows:
- title=$(lsb_release --short --description 2>/dev/null) || title="Ubuntu"
+ title=$(cat /etc/issue.net 2>/dev/null) || title="Ubuntu"
jockey uses it to get the distribution ID ("Ubuntu" in this case) and
its version ("8.10"). I have not found an easy way to fix this one. The
code is in "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/jockey/oslib.py"
With the aforementioned change in update-grub I have shaved 5 seconds
off the boot time.
