Hi Carlos, well, of course you're right wth that.. proven even about half a year ago, when I tested to integrate upstart in yoper and got a boot time of 35/21 secs (before/later). I agree with the first proposed change, but I don't like the 2nd one. Of course our standard desktop is kde, but as you know, the choice is up to the user. I can't imagine what would happen, if we e.g. move that cache updates to the end of the boot sequence right before the agetty and the system changes to kdm and someone logs in in e.g. xfce... which is using gtk throughout. The point here is: We can't guarantee in any way that the cache update is finished before any gtk application is started. Though I remember very few other distros doing a cache update upon bootup.. maybe it's not even needed there and should be moved either to the respective specfiles or even in crontab?
About synaptics, hm.. it's the same here, though I didn't really notice, because Xorg fall back to use normal mouse drivers, apparently. Xorg log shows there is a problem with synaptics_drv.so - the xorg synaptics driver: dlopen: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input//synaptics_drv.so: undefined symbol: miPointerGetMotionEvents (EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input//synaptics_drv.so This problem is fixed now, once and forever... I found a patch for the issue, reworked and included it - all is behaving normally now. I commited the new spec to the server. The tracking table was updates with the points I mentioned: http://www.yoper.com/wiki/index.php?title=Developers:3.1_Tracking_Table Regards Armin > Hi Armin, > > when I say Yoper takes a lot to boot I meant that it could be significantly > faster mainly because: > > 1.- If you have static ip, you are enformce to to wait for dhcpd to time > out => around 1 minute doing nothing.
