https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=340295 Summary: opensuse-updater-kde slows down login - some ideas Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: tgoettlicher@novell.com ReportedBy: suse-beta@cboltz.de QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- opensuse-updater-kde slows down the login on my system. I have several applications as saved session and in autostart. Additionally, the updater runs zypper to check for updates. This typically results in a load of 7 while logging in... (yes, xosview is included in my saved session also ;-) AFAIK the updater already waits some seconds before calling zypper. I'd like to request some additional things: - while the load is > 3, do not start zypper. Or at least wait a minute so the system can cool down a bit. - zypper should be called nice'd so that the applications can startup faster. It doesn't matter for the user if the "new updates available" popup appears some seconds later, but it does matter if starting the essential applications takes longer. Sidenotes: - I'm not sure if zypper should also be nice'd when installing updates pro: the user can do his work while the update is running in the background con: there's a visible progress bar ;-) - if the above applies to opensuse-updater-gnome, it should get the same set of changes -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
