Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope 9.04 boots in 14 seconds - This is old

[marcomatto85]

the song please??thank you

[ruffinius1]

What? you didn't see the icons on the desktop? I just made that black background to tweet the jackalope 

[1972jeepcommando]

not to be mean or any thing be the boot i think is when the desktop and the icons are in vew not just the black screen so it's more like 20 seconds. but thats still fast.

[ruffinius1]

It really should be. We worked on the Darwin project years ago and they used a lot of open source to make millionaires. I have a MAC G4 with OS X in my 3 year olds room its a excellent CD player. Oh yeah there's one (IMAC) in my trunk -can't give it away.

[pipepigo]

mac os x is so much faster

[zaicibz]

music ??

[CoolgreatHD]

HI i use Ubuntu but it changed to Kubuntu and it crashed Sun Virtualbox

[ruffinius1]

It changed? Must have loaded KDE and VB 3.02 slows down the kernel.

[cyborgtroy]

It's probably the SSD, most of the boot time is spent waiting for stuff to load off the HDD.

I have a SATA 3.0GB hard disk that loads Kubuntu 9.04 in about a minute, from pressing the power button to Firefox starting up.

[scindypaul]

14 second are too much! you have to try arch linux with fastboot package... from grub to console 5 seconds. from grub to gnome 10 seconds

[pyroger101]

wow sounds interesting, what is the arch linux based on? do you know would xbmc work on it?

[william9545]

archlinux uses KDE

[Rika4chan]

archlinux uses whatever you want it to use.

[ruffinius1]

XBMC has been ported to Boxee but Elisa is better in my opinion

[ruffinius1]

Grub to Gnome in 6 seconds bootchart posted at the bootchart wiki. Still the fastest documented.

[dudeeeeee16]

arch linux boots fast cuz it's lite,and that's about it,it wouldn't,ever be able to compete with a mainstream os like Windows the way Ubuntu does.

[KingMacintosh]

UBUNTU DOES NOT compete with windows. Quick, name a pro video editor for ubntu that works native.

[ruffinius1]

UNIX,LINUX - Apple BSD and UBUNTU - better security and the choice of Academia and Producers. Windows are for Worker Bees. No need to compete when you're in a whole other league. If your good you can write your own Native video editor.

[belagernyt]

Cinelerra

[KingMacintosh]

I said Professional. Nothing Hollywood or very Professional can be done on that software, Only on Windows and Mac can pro video editing be done. Sure, Linux can be used as a SERVER, but never has the compatibility for the software to be used as a CLIENT.

[redougulas]

who does that anyway? I mean christ, how many computer users are professional film developers? Besides, its called DUAL BOOT, why can't windows do that?

[KingMacintosh]

Millions of people worldwide use professional tools for video editing, whether the work be professional or not.

[redougulas]

my dual boot question still remains unanswered...

[FlyingAero]

@redougulas Im triple booting Win7, Ubuntu, and OSX on my gateway. its very common

[TheMichaelBender]

@KingMacintosh openshot, kdenlive, pitivit

[ubuntututorials]

@TheMichaelBender Add Cinelerra (and the CV edition) and the ability to run Adobe Premiere on Wine to that list too.

[TheMichaelBender]

@ubuntututorials yep! I was just naming the main ones i have used.

[ENightmare69]

Cheers I will take a look :)

[ENightmare69]

How do you bypass login screen? I use a BIOS password rather than an OS password.. so it is frustrating having to stick in 3 passwords to get to desktop (BIOS, Encrypted drive, Kubuntu Login)

[ruffinius1]

You can choose the option during setup or the login window manager

[ruffinius1]

The project is UEFI. Interesting I will start trying to go faster when someone breaks the 6 second bootchart till then my desktop is still up before I get comfortable in my chair. The rest is novelty.

[JamesManes]

Count BIOS. Your boot time is now 2x longer.

[ruffinius1]

Sure my bios is 7 seconds and I've contacted the manufacturer telling them my OS is faster than their bios - no response yet. My 6 second boot chart is posted at the bootchart wiki for ubuntu. Who makes the fastest bios?

[JamesManes]

The maker of the board. They will never make it faster for it is impossible to. EFI is the future. That is what macs use. Its instant.

[ruffinius1]

Linus On EFI Linus Torvalds offered his views on EFI, the Extensible Firmware Interface beginning by describing it as "this other Intel brain-damage (the first one being ACPI)". EFI is a replacement for BIOS, originally designed for use on the ia64 architecture though since adopted by other computers, including Apple's Intel-based Macs.

[ruffinius1]

Linus continued in a followup email, "don't get me wrong - the problem with EFI is that it actually superficially looks much better than the BIOS, but in practice it ends up being one of those things where it has few real advantages, and often just a lot of extra complexity because of the 'new and improved' interfaces that were largely defined by a committee."

[ruffinius1]

He went on, "so EFI has this cool shell, a loadable driver framework, and other nice features. Where 'nice' obviously means 'much more complex than the simple things they designed in the late seventies back when people were stupid and just wanted things to work'. Of course, it's somewhat questionable whether people have actually gotten smarter or stupider in the last 30 years.

[victorfalini]

i boot up in 12 secs with my jaunty

[ruffinius1]

What is your system configuration?

[samanen]

LOL! Mine ubuntu Jaunty takes 1minute 14secs to boot. lol, i dont think that it's fast :D

[ruffinius1]

I agree however I'm waiting for someone to tie or beat the 6 second boot chart posted at the ubuntu bootchart wiki. So I can start my next project. This is about 4 months old.

[edgarnox]

hey i whant this sound

[carrierpilot1357]

wow! I get 25 secs with ubuntu hardy 8.04 and pentuim 4 3000 mhz and 1 gig of ram. by the way, cool music!

[ruffinius1]

Damn good

[angus8134]

Cant wait I'm getting a 30-35 sec boot on Ibex, with a 1.5 GHz Centrino, with 256 Mb of RAM, thats networking and additional apps, so its not bad at all for this old of a machine.

[frvfilms]

did you put ext 4?

[ruffinius1]

For sure

[PARTYzaNOVAC]

Finally a faster bootup, my Interpid needs like 45 seconds which is not that bad...

1,47 Ghz

768 MB of RAM

and besides that I have a lot of apps on startup, so I can't expect much faster boot.

BTW

Anybody tried upgrading from interpid to jaunty?

[kavinduathaudha]

i did, i dont think it affected the boot time at all

[PARTYzaNOVAC]

I think that we should do a fresh install.

[animaulet2]

Next time, please... put a clock in front of the monitor... ^^

[ruffinius1]

This is actually old I posted a 6 second boot chart on the bootchart wiki with full Desktop gui and networking. Now if I can speed up my bios.

[lillen300]

are you serious with the 3.7 ghz computer

[a2zhandi]

really, in my humble opinion, Ubuntu is kick ass!

[mamasmilk]

dude I was complementing you

I have Tux tattooed on my ass

[ruffinius1]

Tux Powered whoorah!

[mamasmilk]

let the linux hit the floor soldier

[ruffinius1]

Now mamasmilk seriously. I tried to watch your posted videos, with emphasis on tried. What happened to dude's hand? Garage Band heh must be a Apple head.

[jellygraph]

i gave you 1 star because of the music

[ruffinius1]

Ok Alright its just what they like at the Base. I'll post with some music I really like

[aafaking]

lol its a 21 second video. why do you care about little noises that much

[DcNdrew]

How many seconds did the Ibex or the Hardy boot up?

Because this is great, but if they are fast too, that's not a big bang. :)

[brainac0cult]

ibex is slow

[calrogman]

Hardy takes about 40-60 seconds to boot on my laptop, virtualised 9.04a boots in 20 seconds.

[PowerMacUser]

dude im so stoked for this release, you have no idea

haha

[vampspell]

linux ubuntu 9.04 and kubuntu 9.04 very good os :) linux power .and xp for play games...:P

[zirkarlos18]

fake ¬¬

[fredrikhcs]

Where did you get that wallpaper? Please. :)

[ruffinius1]

I gimped it from Google images

[garbageboycd]

I looked on Google and I could´t find it! Can put a URL for it in your discription.

[garbageboycd]

Where did you get 9.04???? I wnat it so bad!! Sorry about the bad typing, I am suuuuuper exited!!!!!!

[garbageboycd]

NVM! I am downloading it...10 more minutes tell the best part of my life!

[waspbr]

just google for "jaunty alpha 5 download" , though bear in mind that it is still alpha

[TUInHighDef]

Yep.

Alpha 6 is out now. Woot.

[agares65]

nice

[clarkkov]

Wow, Gnome is booting way faster than KDE4!

my ext3 sata II install needs 22 secs + 12 to fully load KDE!

(note, that its loading ss2 drivers, too)

[juancarlospaco]

Use " quiet " parameter for Kernel.

and " noatime " for fstab.

Speed up more

[Nexus6v1]

no need for noatime these days - the default is relatime, which is a slightly nicer variant (which updates the last accessed time only if the file has been modified since, which is needed by mutt).

[coolagent000]

holy fuck...

[weizhe86]

太酷了,当然也需要很好的硬件.

最好有个8.10 的对比.

[ruffinius1]

是的SSD RAID和Ext4

[SlavomirDanas]

Man, if You would use quiet kernel param, you'd squeeze it down to 8-10s!

[ruffinius1]

Please tell me more? I have got it down to 7 sec

[pepe6666]

aye?? what specs??

[CloudyDesert]

Did you use ext3 or ext4 ?

[ruffinius1]

Ext4

[sex1q]

what music was that?

[ipodguru22]

Bodies - Drowning Pool

[ruffinius1]

Drowning Pool - Bodies

[ttk1opc]

Ext3 or 4? That was fast, you have some sick specs but still gonna be fast even on slower computers, can't wait till april!

[kingmoffa]

usplash smooth is what is needed ;)

[ruffinius1]

Because of your comment I tried it. The was a few seconds of pause on startup the orange progress bar game up went from left to right and that was it, there was the Desktop staring at me saying "bring it on" as I reached for the mouse. It often catches me unprepared.

[mikegrung]

don't you love the amazing linux boot screen!!! lol

[ruffinius1]

Yeah, I have tried other boot options. Some flicker, some I just miss because I look away. But after you'd seen it once further need is a just a hypnotic fixation. The new W7 beta splash is really a subliminal message causing the masses to fall in line with M$ again.

[vahnx1337]

solid state drive? system specs?

[ruffinius1]

q6600 OCed to 3.7ghz - 8 gigs OCZ Reaper 1066 - OCZ Core 2 SSD HD - T=Power i45 mobo - Juanty Jackolope 64 bit OS

[PawkaTheRandomGuy]

holy fuck

[knight924]

holy shit

[ruffinius1]

No problem with the file system except other file systems can't read it. The tweaks were the typical ones you can Google. EXT4 is faster by default.

[pczaban]

Really cool, but I'm not sure if its stable enough for me. Did you have any problems with ext4 so far? What "tweaks" did you use to speed up boot?
