Optimize login speed As per my observation after login till show of complete desktop, what takes most time is loading of gnome-panel including various applets. And IIRC, the clock applet is slowest of them probably because of the integrated calendar component. You may try removing clock applet from panel and see if that reduces the time.

No bluetooth remove that, No prop. drivers remove check for hardware drivers, don't use evolution uninstall it, not a laptop - remove power manager, not using remote desktop - remove it, update manager, user folder update - remove Also, I would remove the trash applet and any other applets in the panel you don't use. To monitor your progress, I suggest bootchart , it will make graphs of boot in /var/log/bootchart.

[ubuntu-in] Reducing number of start up apps
Hi My start up after login is really slow, seems like tonnes of apps are all starting up. Including beagle, which does it standard indexing. Is there a way that i can find and stop unnecessary apps from starting at login time I tried to check system->preferrences -> start up app preferences and made some changes there but am afraid to make more changes in case something happens to the system and it breaks (normally i would have risked it but my work is "mission critical and cannot afford to have my machine go down just yet even for a short while) Second - some apps - seem to make themselves permanently resident in the system tray even though i don't want them there - like rythm box, ktimer etc. Some of them can be configured to not appear on the system tray but others don't have any option. So any ideas on what i can do to 1. Stop such apps at start up 2. Stop apps from coming on the system tray without my specifying 3. Optimize login speed would appreciate advise, tips and ideas thanks ram -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
