Time delay in boot-up
in [Suse]
|
From: lakester on 6 Feb 2005 14:21 Suse V9.0 Between "Loading keymap qwerty/us.map.gz done" and "Loading compose table winkeys shiftctrl latin1.add done" the system "sits" for about 4 minutes. At least as long as all the rest of the boot process together. Does anyone know why? I can post boot.msg if that would assist. Would it be too big for a text message? Should I attach it? Thanks, lakester

Not very productive, most of the responses are from other people posting their boot logs, and the "compose table winkeys shiftctrl latin1.add" business seems to be near where a lot of people have trouble with their keyboards. There doesn't seem to be any problem (that I have observed) with my keyboard. Thanks for the response, lakester

That was how I can up with "compose table winkeys shiftctrl latin1.add". My assumption was that since that was the next line to come up after the delay, that "it" was causing the delay. For all I know, the activity that slows down the process happens 3 lines later (or more) and it causes a delay in writing previous lines to the screen. I guess I should assume that since there haven't been a bunch of replys saying..."Oh, yeah, sure we've all had *that* problem", that my symptoms are atypical. I'm completely new to Linux/Gnu & SuSE, and my biggest problem is trying to figure out how things operate "normally". I did what I now suspect was a pretty barebones install of V9.0. from a magazine disk. The help section doesn't seem to be complete, and I'm struggling to get a handle on Yast. I've done some on-line updates just to try to use it and understand how it works, but I'm really in the dark. I've got a bunch of more disks with all kinds of stuff on 'em if I could just understand Yast enough to install from a disk. The Konqueror file manager function drives me crazy, all my training is Windows-centric, and if it would just start at the Hard Drives and work its' way down through the folders I would be able to figure out where things are, where they're supposed to be, and how to find stuff. It took me an age to find that boot.msg log. I saw somewhere recently about calling up the man pages in Konqueror. Does that mean the man pages are on the hard drive somewhere, or is Konqueror reading it off the Net? That's gotta be a crazy question. But, what I need to find is the "man pages" for Yast, and so far, I haven't discovered that in either internal or external sources. It's a long, sad, tale of woe. It's good to know that everything is perfect, just the way that it is, lakester

Holy Web resources Batman, I just found http://www.suseroot.com/ for the first time. There's even a reference to a Web page by some dude called Houghi. Have you seen it? lakester

I have to get some basic competency with Yast before I try to install more stuff, but what kind of app is xman?

Thanks for all help, I'm going to explore that SuseRoot Web page to see if they have any interessantes Material. lakester, at mile 3 |
