I believe that should be alright. As long as the audio-setup dialog does not change appearance with the change it's ok. Alternatively I'll report back if I notice any changes.

Indeed, we can see unfold normally the KDE's "splashscreen" and the desktop appears but in the systray, all the icons are not loaded and it is not possible to run a program until the startup sound is heard. This is long seconds (10 or 15 for me) where nothing happens (no visible disk access). After answering on this thread [1] , I opened a bug in KDE and it appears that the culprit is PulseAudio. Indeed, it seems that PulseAudio package for KDE brings 2 startup files instead of one: "pulseaudio.desktop" and "pulseaudio- kde.desktop" This often generates a delay to load the desktop caused by the program that is trying to start twice. Note that this is not systematic, I guess in some cases, the correct file is launched before the bad and in this case, there isn't any delays. The solution: Just simply delete the unwanted file to retreive a fast loading time. This is valid for all distributions. - Open a console as root - Go to the directory /etc/xdg/autostart - Check that you have two files "pulseaudio.desktop" and "pulseaudio-kde.desktop" in this directory. - Delete the file "pulseaudio.desktop" (or rename it to "pulseaudio.desktop.disable" if you prefer to keep it) - Reboot normally there shouldn't be more delay now caused by PulseAudio to logon [1] https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=312560 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: pulseaudio 1:4.0-0ubuntu10 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-19.39-lowlatency 3.13.6 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-19-lowlatency i686 ApportVersion: 2.13.3-0ubuntu1 Architecture: i386 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC1: sgh 2336 F.... pulseaudio sgh 2796 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC0: sgh 2336 F.... pulseaudio sgh 2796 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: KDE Date: Sun Mar 23 22:22:58 2014 InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-12-24 (89 days ago) InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 14.04 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Alpha i386 (20131224) SourcePackage: pulseaudio UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) dmi.bios.date: 07/02/2012 dmi.bios.vendor: LENOVO dmi.bios.version: G7ET31WW (1.13 ) dmi.board.asset.tag: Not Available dmi.board.name: 2356GCG dmi.board.vendor: LENOVO dmi.board.version: Not Defined dmi.chassis.asset.tag: No Asset Information dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: LENOVO dmi.chassis.version: Not Available dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnLENOVO:bvrG7ET31WW(1.13):bd07/02/2012:svnLENOVO:pn2356GCG:pvrThinkPadT430s:rvnLENOVO:rn2356GCG:rvrNotDefined:cvnLENOVO:ct10:cvrNotAvailable: dmi.product.name: 2356GCG dmi.product.version: ThinkPad T430s dmi.sys.vendor: LENOVO To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1296420/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
