A few tips/ideas for improving performance: 1. You might want to look for an alternative to Amarok as it is very heavy and requires kde libs. 2. If you aren't going to be using the desktop (ie. icons on the desktop), you could disable xfdesktop. 3. Try changing your theme to a more light-load theme (if applicable). 4. If you have kde and gnome services enabled at boot time, it will add a lot of wait time. 5. Get a faster computer? 6. I found 6.06 (Dapper) a bit faster then 6.10 (Edgy) but I can't say for sure. 7. Ensure the xfce4 compositor is disabled (most likely is if you didn't enable it) 8. Remove any unnecessary panels or panel plugins/launchers/objects/etc.
Hope that helps, Cody A.W. Somerville On 12/16/06, Matt Price <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi, I'm converting my laptop to a stereo component. It currently runs xubuntu edgy and has amarok installed as well. I really prefer xfce to any ther lightweight wm/desktop solution -- I can hardly navigate ion3 or windowmaker -- but I would like to figure out ways to reduce load time for xfce, which currently takes a while to wake up. In its new home the machine will really only run amarok, and maybe giFT/giFTcurs and occasionally a webbrowser. I do need the volume-manager, though, to connect an ipod. Any hints on what I might do to otherwise lighten my load? right now the wait times are acceptable for a computer, but frustrating for a stereo.
