Ubuntu 10.10 Boots in 8.6 Seconds!

[NewKeepSharing31]

wow its amazing boot time :D

[IrishHeroMan]

Using an SSD in a boot test is not really a fair test. It will make any boot of any system much faster...

Pretty cool though. If you have a laptop, gotta have an SSD. Nice boot time.

[kolton5543]

Just because the UI is up in 8.6 seconds doesn't mean the computer is fully up and usable by then. I can see things still starting long after you stopped the timer

[trignite]

@kolton5543 It's ubuntu not windows, its generally usable straight away unlike windows which takes forever to load drivers and crap mainly because most of it is all bloated

[cryptikonline]

@kolton5543 How about having Firefox completely usable within 30 seconds of hitting the power button? One of my uploads shows exactly that :D

[HDlfc10]

im nt using a ssd and my laptop boots up windows in 20 seconds and 15 seconds for ubuntu

[quekzhihao1]

WOW. I was just reading the comments for a short while and it finished booting. LOL

[Mobius14]

Guys, cocopara needs to be put back in his cage.

Don't feed the Trolls. (That goes for me..) Thanks.

Raid 3 SSDs (I personally use OCZ's SSD... Ubuntu will load up as fast as a normal application loads, it's ridiculous.

[Crashbndcoot121]

@illriginalized Nah, ubuntu will load up by the year 2020. LOL. You idiot.

[illriginalized]

@Crashbndcoot121 Idiot? You're such a fag.

[Crashbndcoot121]

@illriginalized LOL. Fucking harlot of a whore.

[BlueZapFusion]

on my aesum computer it takes less dan 2.5 secs to load haha u suck!!!! i run on a HARDCORE i7 processor!!! with over 12GB of ram and 6GB og dedicated VGA!!!!

[benjabean1]

Boo. The notification area didn't finish loading. Oh, and, it's oo-BOON-too, not oo-BUN-too.

[HD3DTV]

it was more like 8.7 secs (o_0)

[VotreCauchemar]

do you have installed compiz effects?

[sedpluit]

Ubuntu 10.10 + SSD + a good cleanup of unnecessary (?) startup programs = 8.6s of boot time

[FaceSTAB411]

wats ssd?

[jlward4th]

@FaceSTAB411 Solid State Drive

[Dell0304]

@FaceSTAB411 Solid State Drive. They differ from regular HDs in that they have no moving parts.

[thelastknights]

mine doesn;t have a SSD but it does it in about the same..... GO LINUX!

[Dreamlgider]

My dell inspiron 9400 with a 320gb Hitachi 7200rpm hdd boots in 25 sec.

Power On to Grub: 6 Sec

Grub To Desktop 19 Sec

Power On to Desktop 25 Sec

Ubuntu has come a long way :)

[bv90andy]

mine takes 14 seconds with normal HDD... pretty amazing. No need for Asus ExpressGate any more :)

[pseudocube]

That is a sick background. Can you link me to it?

[jutubaeh]

checksum 14... ? id rather uc my cpu... 

[philipkimbrell90]

I have that same monitor!

[maragu2891]

O_O, WOW The Future

[iVishnuNJ]

U r showing a desktop and saying its a lap top..rite..

[philipkimbrell90]

@iVishnuNJ Nope he's using a Monitor for the broadcast as it's easier to record as the screen on the laptop is difficult to record

[maroon5rule]

Does boot very quickly, I'm pretty sure I can make my Arch Linux boot as fast as that, but booting isn't really a priority, usually I find something else to do for 30 seconds while booting. Ubuntu might look very lightweight this way, but they're just tweaking the boot so hard, trying to hide that it's one of the biggest, most bloated distros in the world

[vampspell]

wow, fast boot !!

15 Seconds boot ,in my desktoop with normal hdd (wd 500 gb 7200 rpm )

with some services turned off !!

[FailMate]

not impressive considering win7 boots up about the same on any ssd

[jlward4th]

@FailMate You must have a crazy fast SSD. For me, on the same machine Windows 7 takes over a minute to boot.

[migueltrix]

@jlward4th one minute?? arround 30 seconds for my

[cocopara]

@jlward4th

Ehh I use a normal HDD 7200 RPM. Windows (WITH LOADS OF APPS) load in 40 seconds. Dont lie. Also you cheated because you took it from the "choosing" screen. Thats 50% into the booting time so around 15-16 sec it takes to boot. Dont lie lil kid.

[bv90andy]

@cocopara LOL that's the way you're supposed to time it. After the POST screen disappears. because POST time is different on every laptop/pc, so that wouldn't be fair when timing the OS boot up.

[cocopara]

@bv90andy

It would.From the time u press the buttom until you can login is the actual boot-up time and not some way of measuring it cuz Dell is crying.

[bv90andy]

@cocopara what part of "timing the OS Boot up" -not- POST didn't you understand?

[cocopara]

@bv90andy

Yes, when you click the start buttom the PC is loading the OS etc, hence it should be timed then. Waiting would not be acurrate because they mate utilize the time before in different ways hence from the buttom is pressed until the login screen appears is the ACTUAL boot time.

Also this is not a good bootup as it was run on SSD hence Windows is just as fast. My friends PC boots up in 20 sec, and he got a PC with 1 TB of stuff etc (and an SSD for OS)

[stealth123215]

@cocopara When you press the start button the PC is *not* loading the OS. It's doing hardware and BIOS checks. It *then* loads the OS. He's timing it from after it has finished it's BIOS routines, before it loads the OS. It's only loading GRUB, which is just a "mini program" that is used to launch from a system with multiple operating systems. He is timing it the correct way, and you're just not understanding how a computer works. He's timing Windows the same way, from GRUB, and it takes longer.

[cocopara]

@stealth123215

Ok. Thanks for the clarifaction.

Though I still believe the timing should start once the PC buttom is turned on. For example if the PC was of the same kind with different OS and then use that as a benchmark. Perhaps it would affect the results?=

[stealth123215]

@cocopara No, I'm sorry but it wouldn't make any difference in time between the two OS's. GRUB doesn't do any "let's preload linux" tricks while it's waiting.

And, yup, I know it's an SSD. Ubuntu would definitely *not* boot that fast otherwise. As for music, games, etc, it doesn't affect the linux kernel's boot process as it might to windows, unless it was doing a harddrive check after a power loss. Adding services to the boot process would add time, but the common user rarely has to do that.

[cocopara]

@stealth123215

Thanks for clarifactions and structured answers in contrast to my more fanboi comments.

I still doubt a regular person notices the boot up time, and if they do, their just used to have the bundle ware adding 20 sec to the windows start up.

Show me a fresh boot of Windows, same speccs, fresh install and we can see :), as of now, my cusin having a huge loads of items on his PC according to Soluto boots up completely in 22 sec (not 15 as I claimed earlier, that was a miss type=)

[stealth123215]

@cocopara Yes, with an initial install I without a doubt agree with you, the average user isn't going to notice/care. The majority of these videos are just little pointless facts brought up by Ubuntu fanbois. However, in their defense Windows machines can quickly become bogged down and much noticeably slower after it's been used for a while. While I can't speak for Windows 7 or Vista, I've heard this very often from the users of Windows XP who I replaced with Ubuntu.

[stealth123215]

@cocopara And, in all honesty, when you say your "fanboi comments", I think you're being too hard on yourself. Lol, you seem much more open to different observations/points of view/etc than a "fanboi" would be.

[cocopara]

@stealth123215

Also this is with an SSD. Remmember that.

My cusins windows boots up in 15 sec wheras the PC is fulled with hundreds of music, 10's of (many gigs) games etc. I highly doubt this Ubuntu machine is :=)

[stealth123215]

@cocopara Take it from me. I've installed Ubuntu on 11 different peoples computers, so I know how it works for them. One of the most common things I first hear is "oh, it boots so fast!". I'm not trying to make an attack at Windows when I say this, but it's simply an actual *fact* that linux machines tend to boot significantly faster than the windows counterpart in a dual boot. I'm not really sure why windows users can get so defensive about this, it's only an extra 10 seconds to couple minutes.

[Mobius14]

@cocopara You Fail Computers Forever.

[cocopara]

@Mobius14

You fail, Ubuntu is not a computer.

[Mastermind12358]

@jlward4th

on my none-ssd computer it takes about 40 sec to boot windows from the start.

[RarivMorben]

@FailMate Really? In my SSD it takes a minute, sometimes more.

[LanHikari90]

@FailMate #FAIL

[metro2002]

@FailMate

Windows 7 takes about twice as long, even with an SSD drive.

[arthursucks]

"Thanks Linux Kernel development team." FTFY.

[ssj6akshat1234]

@arthursucks No,thanks to upstart development team.Kernel isn't responsible for handling boot.

ubuntu rlz! (H)

[CMatomic]

yaaaaaaaaaa ubuntu

[pixelr0]

wow wow wow!

[frvfilms]

wow, unbelievable, did u disable all drivers

oh but its on ssd, no wonder,

[jlward4th]

@frvfilms SSD makes it somewhat faster. No drivers were disabled. That is just a regular boot.

[iamaliverpudlian]

What are the specs of your laptop?

[jlward4th]

@iamaliverpudlian Lenovo W500 with Intel Core 2 Duo 2.80GHz laptop and an Intel SSD.
