Fluxbox slow startup (~15 seconds)

Tiny Core Base > TCB Q&A Forum

<< < (3/5) > >>

coreplayer2:
after cleaning up your base install, you can try removing Xorg, xf86-video-ati, graphics-4.14.10-tinycore and fluxbox from your onboot.lst

then at the command line, enter:

tce-load -i graphics-4.14.10-tinycore xf86-video-ati Xorg-7.7 fluxbox
check for errors, then enter

--- Code: ---startx
--- End code ---
and time with stopwatch to the Desktop

In my tests both fluxbox and hackedbox with Xorg-7.7 and Nvidia drivers take approximately 6 seconds (which allows for a 2 second human reaction element)

It takes this long to load because of Xorg and the Nvidia drivers

check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for Errors and Warnings

I suspect Xvesa produces considerably faster results

coreplayer2:
Ok, to test this further..
I setup a boot menu item which represented a minimalist TC9 x86 system with syslog bootcode enabled and set to load the onboot.lst file as previously suggested specific to my test system (Xorg + Nvidia drivers + sample Window Manager + other hardware drivers).

I rebooted three times each with a different Window Manager; fluxbox, hackedbox and flwm_topside

Syslog reported no more than 9 seconds from installing extensions to desktop with each window manager. So, put another way; all Wm's booted in equal time.

Syslog also showed that approximately 6 of those 9 seconds to desktop was consumed by building icons for the desktop wbar and loading of the Xorg/Nvidia driver

In other words, I can't reproduce this issue as IMO each window manager loaded within a second or two..

I did the timing test you suggested above, with this onboot.lst below. I forgot to remove vlc2, but I don't really want to remove it anyways because that is one of the main things I'm using this PC for and I want it on the wbar on login.

--- Code: ---aterm.tcz
wbar.tcz
ezremaster.tcz
nano.tcz
alsa-config.tcz
firmware-radeon.tcz
terminus-fonts.tcz
vlc2.tcz

--- End code ---

Loaded the graphics extensions and then did "startx" as you directed. Time was about 14 seconds per stopwatch.

By the way, when I tried adding these extensions to onboot.lst through Apps, it didn't do anything to onboot.lst. Maybe because they are already depended on by Xorg?

--- Code: ---imlib2-bin.tcz
libxcb.tcz
libXfont.tcz
libXi.tcz
libXmu.tcz
libXpm.tcz
libXrandr.tcz
