Ubuntu 9.04, reducing your boot time.

Published by Matheus (X-warrior) Bratfisch on April 25, 2009

Hey, searching around the internet, i find some ways to decrease the boot time. All of them were for older versions, tham i decided to try it in new Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) and i get 22seconds boot time.

I used the bum (sudo apt-get install bum) to remove some things that i don’t use.
This thins are:
acpid – Controls energy/buttons in pc/Laptop. If you don’t use notebook or a keyboard with hotkeys you can remove it.
acpi-support – Like above.
hotkey-setup – Similar above.
anacron – This system runs processes periodically. You could remove it, and use cron.
atd – Like cron, Task Scheduler.
bluetooth – Bluetooth support
usplash – Without this, you don’t see a beautifull loading screen when booting.
dns-clean – Used by dial-up connections.
pppd-dns – Used by dial-up connections.
saned – A lib for scanners.

Remember, i removed this things, like bluetooth and acpid because i don’t use it. You shouldn’t remove it, if you use. You must choose what item to remove according to your system.

Use:
$ sudo pico /boot/grub/menu.lst
and remove splash.

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-11-generic root=UUID=5be10a48-2c12-4165-8957-81c7a15274e5 ro quie splash
turned
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-11-generic root=UUID=5be10a48-2c12-4165-8957-81c7a15274e5 ro quie

Reboot the system and executed the profiler. Press “e” in grub to edit, add to line that starts with “kernel” the word profile (add it in the end). Press “B” to boot. Wait a while, your boot is going to be slow. After this, reboot and see your boot time in bootchart.

If you want you can use Concurrent boot. To use it you have to edit /etc/init.d/rc
$sudo pico /etc/init.d/rc

And change
CONCURRENCY=none
to
CONCURRENCY=shell

Save and restart. Verify your boot time and decide if you want to use it or not. (Probabily if you don’t change boot order in rcX.d, You will not see difference.)

Usei o sudo bum (apt-get install bum) para remover algumas coisas que eu não usava.
As coisas removidas foram as seguintes:
acpid РServe para gerenciar a energia/controles do pc/laptop. Se voc̻ ṇo usa um notebook ou teclado com teclas te atalho pode remover.
acpi-support – Para notebooks. Como o de cima.
hotkey-setup – Semelhante ao anterior.
anacron РEste sistema roda processos periodicamente. Voc̻ pode remove-lo e colocar servi̤os criticos para cron
atd РComo o cron, esse tamb̩m ̩ um agendador de tarefas.
bluetooth – Suporte a Bluetooth
usplash – Remove a tela bonitinha de loading, aparecendo um monte de mensagens na tela. (remover splash da grub tbm. Abaixo)
dns-clean РUtilizado para conex̵es dial-up.
pppd-dns РUtilizado para conex̵es dial-up.
saned – Biblioteca para scanners.

Lembrando que removi pois não utilizava certos dispositivos, como bluetooth, agendador de tarefas e notebook. Voce deve ver se remove ou não de acordo com seu sistema.

For now just this, but when i have time I want to rebuild my kernel and see the diferences. Stay calm, i will keep you informed.

    Been using Betbolt UK since the middle of this year and tbh it’s turned out better than I expected. Game library is pretty massive — must be upwards of 3,500 titles on there. Play’n GO and NetEnt make up the bulk of it, with Big Time Gaming slots mixed in as well. Sweet Bonanza and Book of Dead are still the talked-about titles, they run smoothly on the site. The one thing that bugged me — game filtering isn’t the most intuitive, takes a bit of patience to find specific titles.

    Live dealer games are powered by Evolution Gaming so quality’s solid. Crazy Time, Lightning Roulette, Monopoly Live — they’ve got all the big shows. Proper dealers, decent quality and no complaints on mobile either. I mostly split my time between the live games and the slot lobby depending on what I fancy.

    The welcome offer at Betbolt UK came as a matched deposit up to ?100 plus 100 free spins on one of their Pragmatic slots. The wagering requirement is 30x that’s nothing crazy by UK casino standards. There might be promo codes going — have a look at betbolts before signing up since promos change fairly often. Minimum deposit to get the bonus is ?10, standard stuff.

    Football betting on Betbolt UK is decent enough — Premier League coverage are well covered and they compare well against the bigger books. Live betting runs smoothly generally, but occasionally the odds can lag a bit on busy matchdays. Not a dealbreaker but I did clock it.

    Betbolt UK cashouts have been solid on my end. Been going with Neteller and money’s come through within a day. The usual UK stuff — Visa, Mastercard, Skrill are all there, and there’s Bitcoin for those who want it. The site holds an MGA licence so there’s at least some regulatory oversight. Support runs round the clock via live chat and they were quick when I had a question about a withdrawal.

    Been using Betbolt UK since early this year and tbh it’s grown on me. The slots section is quite wide — must be upwards of 3,000 games in total. Pragmatic Play and Play’n GO make up the bulk of it, with Big Time Gaming in there too. Sweet Bonanza and Book of Dead are still the popular picks, they load fine on the site. One minor gripe — game filtering isn’t the most intuitive, you need some digging to locate older or specific titles.

    The live casino section are powered by Evolution Gaming so quality’s solid. Crazy Time, Lightning Roulette, Monopoly Live — all the Evolution game shows are covered. Real croupiers, proper studios, and no streaming issues I’ve noticed. I mostly split my time between the slots and the live tables based on my mood.

    The welcome bonus at Betbolt UK came as a matched deposit up to ?100 with 50 bonus spins for a Pragmatic Play title. Wagering sits at 30x which is nothing crazy by UK casino standards. There might be promo codes going — check bet bolt before you deposit since promos change fairly often. Minimum deposit to get the bonus is ?10, which is fine.

    Football betting at Betbolt UK is solid — Premier League coverage are extensive and they compare well to the main UK bookies. Live betting runs smoothly most of the time, but occasionally the markets can refresh slowly on busy matchdays. Minor stuff really but I did clock it.

    Withdrawals at Betbolt UK have been fine for me. I use Skrill and funds arrived in under 24 hours. The usual UK stuff — Visa, Mastercard, Skrill are all supported, plus crypto for those who want it. MGA-licensed so there’s at least some regulatory oversight. Support runs round the clock via live chat and they were quick when I had a question about a withdrawal.
