Re: [SLE] faster booting?

No, it's not new to suse 8.1, because I have 7.3. I also suspect kde (the stock one), so much so that I switched to use gdm as login manager, and I use gnome unless I need kde for something. A person reported the problem almost everytime he logged of kde; I had it perhaps once every two weeks, and now once every month or two; but this is a home computer, it is rare that it stays on for more than 8 hours on a run. But if I make use of large applications that force swaping memory, then I have a 30% chance of crashing when powering off (halt) the machine. On milder cases, it is just daemons stoping, like cron or something. I have the feeling that if enable both apic and acpi the machine runs faster and more stable; however, then I can not power it off (suse 7.3 is not prepared for acpi, it lacks the daemons for it). With the default settings of apic and apm it crashes as soon as I switch from X to a console, but that is documented: I have to disable apic (it is the safe setting in lilo). -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson El 02.10.06 a las 18:07, Ben Rosenberg escribió:

Weird. This issue has happened to me 3 times in the last 24 hours. The LED's start blinking and the box freezes up. This is a new occurance since going to 8.1. It's been about 4 hours since it happened. I thought it might have had something to do with apm and apci so they are disabled and I nixed my .kde directory because it happened only when in X. I thought for some odd reason it was a config issue even though I had 3.0.3 on SuSE 8.0 which is the same as the KDE version on 8.1.

If anyone has a clue to a fix..please post it. This freezing isn't going to do at all.
