[opensuse-factory] 11.3 M6 live CDs - bootup time comparison
Hi, granted, it's not a very sophisticated or scientificly relevant observation, but I thought I'd share this with you, since the live CDs are likely the first thing a new user is going to try out before he decides which Linux distribution or desktop environment he'll choose. I measured the times it takes the current 11.3 M6 live systems to boot up in both VirtualBox (virtualbox-ose-3.1.4-106.2.i586) and qemu-kvm (kvm-0.11.0-4.5.2.i586) on my Thinkpad T61 (Intel Core2 Duo T8300@2.40GHz, 4GB RAM, running openSUSE 11.2, 32bit). I used the ISO images directly, no CD-ROM drive is involved here. I used a stop watch to measure the time from the point at which GRUB loads the kernel until the desktop is usable and fully loaded. Both virtual machines were configured to use 1GB of RAM. Out of curiosity, I also included the latest Ubuntu 10.04 release for comparison. Can anybody repeat my observation that the GNOME live-CD is much slower than the KDE one? I would have actually expected it the other way around. What also surprised me was the difference between VirtualBox and KVM. Product Time (qemu-kvm) Time (virtualbox) openSUSE-GNOME 11.3M6 0:02:17 0:03:45 openSUSE-KDE 11.3M6 0:01:40 0:02:50 kubuntu 10.04 (KDE) 0:01:35 0:01:59 ubuntu 10.04 (GNOME) 0:01:17 0:01:36 Anyway, I don't know if this is useful or if anybody actually cares about this aspect. From a "first impression" perspective, anything above 2:30 minutes feels like a very long time, especially if there is no visual feedback about what's going on - the GNOME bootup spends a lot of time in displaying a black screen with a busy cursor...

You haven't booted a real live cd yet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sgukjvw08xk (it's real, you can download and test it and I implemented some of the techniques used in clicfs). Actually I do care for the boot time of the live cd, but as I'm the only one caring for anything about the live cd, it only brings very little gain. But the kubuntu live cds disable tons of services we do not disable, e.g. we're still starting akondi ;( Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Long boot time in openSUSE it´s not surprising for me. I mentioned a similar experience (but on real hardware, no in virtual machine) in feature #308762: Remove Hal by default on opensuse 11.3. So could you disable some of services also? Do you think, that common users really need enabled something like avahi-daemon, cifs, nfs, postfix, rpcbind, sshd, etc? Advanced users can enable it additionaly, but me as a common desktop user i don´t really need this services. On my laptop, Ubuntu 10.04 starts only 8 services by default. -- S pozdravom / Best regards, Rasto -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Ok, but we see in the above numbers that the difference between KDE and GNOME is bigger than those between openSUSE and ubuntu. So I would think that the gain by disabling sshd (which is disabled on live cds btw) is smaller than by improving the desktops. But feel free to build an adopted live cd and do some measurements.

I did a quick test: VBOX-3.1.6 on 11.2 32bit kde-livecd-build-0589 Old athlon 2800XP 1GB RAM (550MB for VBOX). From grub to a fully loaded kde desktop 5 (five) minutes :( After this nothing works. Maybe I need to wait ten minutes to see some reactions to right click on desktop :) killed after one or two minutes.. Things become worst at each release :(
But feel free to build an adopted live cd and do some measurements.
Is there a way to do a sort of remastering without rebuilding the live cd from zero ?

550MB is too little for a live system, it seems. I reported something similar already (providing 512MB): https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=602558

I was thinking of SuSE Studio, but they currently don't provide an option to create images from Factory... So you may have to tinker with Kiwi directly. Bye, LenZ -- Lenz Grimmer <lenz@grimmer.com> - http://www.lenzg.net/

you should be able to call kiwi with the configs provided in kiwi-config- openSUSE, but I didn't try it for some time. Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

This sounds broken. We should fix this before it's too late, since it's really bad :/ Did anybody start investigating the GNOME side of things?

Hi. I did comparison in VMware on my wife´s hardware. Intel Core2 duo E7500 - 2,93Ghz, 4GB RAM, runnig Microsoft Windows XP 32bit with Service Pack 3. The ISO images were used directly, virtual machine had 1GB RAM. ubuntu 10.04 - 00:00:57 (i couldn´t believe it, but it´s true) openSUSE-GNOME 11.3M6 - 00:02:21 openSUSE-KDE 11.3M6 - 00:01:39 I can confirm in openSUSE GNOME´s case a lot of time in displaying a black screen with a busy cursor. In openSUSE KDE´s case the time would be shorter (around 00:01:19), but still appears bnc# 582375 - An error occured during the startup of the Akonadi server, which stucks desktop for a while (around 20 seconds). -- S pozdravom / Best regards, Rasto -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

If it's around 10s and you're using compiz, can you try without compiz? When we investigated this last week, we found out that the main issue was compiz not registering to gnome-session, which was blocking everything until after a 10s timeout.

Tested factory build 0646 yesterday and no progress for Gnome. Still Gnome bootup spends a lot of time in displaying with black screen and busy cursor. And on istalled system also. :-(
If it's around 10s and you're using compiz, can you try without compiz? When we investigated this last week, we found out that the main issue was compiz not registering to gnome-session, which was blocking everything until after a 10s timeout.

I also submitted a patch that was given to me to G:F to help with the panel and load time. I'm not sure if its in Factory yet.
Stephen
Well, i´ll wait on next factory build.

Sorry. No, i´m not using Compiz. Btw, i noticed a search engine Tracker causes Gnome lagging on startup also/when Gnome is loaded. -- S pozdravom / Best regards, Rasto -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Hrm, okay. I'd like to ask anybody who can reproduce this to do the following: 1) install bootchart (zypper in bootchart). 2) edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add: initcall_debug printk.time=y quiet init=/sbin/bootchartd to the kernel line 3) reboot and log in. 4) call pybootchartgui. This should create a bootchart.png file. 5) make your bootchart.png available somewhere on the web and give us the link.

And I would like to ask people following this, having reproduced the issue being zypper, to try the new compiz-manager package from https://build.opensuse.org/package/binary?arch=x86_64&filename=compiz-manage... (or, should the release change before you get it, get the current version from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/Compiz/openSUSE_Factory/noarc... Hopefully that might improve the situation as well (this is not yet in Factory! The change happened yesterday only).

Nice. So we have 8 seconds blocking on nautilus. The patch from Stephen could help here. Let's see when you get the new nautilus.

So I actually have the same thing now, but with the new nautilus -- something I didn't have before Stephen's patch. Stephen: is nautilus-boot-order.patch really what we want?

So is there any development on this? I get a similar delay with a black screen also with RC1. I have bootchart png here http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/1023/bootcharto.png It would be nice to improve upon this by RC2. -- Atri -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

So this is GDM + GNOME. Are you using autologin? Or is the delay before you see the login screen? There's a really long delay between gnome-settings-daemon and metacity for what seems to be the gdm user. It's the first time I see such a delay there :/ Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

-- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés.
I am not using auto-login, and the delay is between the bootsplash theme disappearing and the gdm login screen appearing. Btw, with all the seamless booting and kernel-mode-setting, I can't see anything special in the bootup sequence --- still feels the same as in 11.2 with bootsplash, then black screen, then login-screen (generally speaking for both KDE and Gnome). -- Atri -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
