Re: Boot in 5 seconds
 

Thanks!

One thing that really stands out at first look is that 8" sleep in /etc/init.d/hildon-desktop! Anyone know what it's for?

I don't think that punishing someone who has the initiative to post a bug report is the way to go. Making suggestions to improve the report is one thing; threatening someone that their report will be deleted unless they have even more initiative is another.

This always reminds me of elementary school "safties", who were given titles so they could stop kids from running in the hallways. Give some people titles and they become megalomaniacs, no matter how trivial the title.

Can we let the personal attacks drop and get back on topic?

Re: Boot in 5 seconds
 

People who make personal attacks always want responses to them to stop, but sure, I'll stop mine, thanks for asking!

Re: Boot in 5 seconds
 

Bugzilla reports are never deleted. Period.

I suggest you read up on the life cycle of a bug before you spout off. The reporter is free to reopen their bug anytime if they believe that the resolution was inappropriate or when they've improved the bug to the point where it's no longer INVALID.

If the reporter has specific technical suggestions that could be implemented, then bring them on! Specific bugs with a reasonable scope are welcome, generic bugs that specify broad, arbitrary goals are not.

"Make tablet boot in 5 seconds" might as well be "Make Modest super fast", "Make MicroB load pages in under 2 seconds" or really simply, "Make it fast". Put yourself in a developer's shoes, do any of these reports help you make the the software better or faster? No. They're not specific, they're not useful. They basically amount to so much spam.

Thus, INVALID.

Re: Boot in 5 seconds
 

Is that some sort of tacit accusation?

Do you have something snarky to say to me that might be more appropriately conveyed through PM?

Re: Boot in 5 seconds
 

No, it is a comment about people who make personal attacks, not about you. I didn't see any attacks by you.

Re: Boot in 5 seconds
 

Ah, EU. Interesting.

Well, there's always train/plane/car chargers. ;)

Titles and personal attacks. Do you want to be more specific? :)

Re: Boot in 5 seconds
 

I have a solution. Give the user the impression of starting more quickly! Simply take a snapshot of the display before shutting down, and during boot use it as a splash screen.
you may laugh, but that's been done.

Re: Boot in 5 seconds
 

My tablet takes 55 seconds to boot. 33 would be nice.

But honestly, if you're booting much, then you're (a) a hacker/developer who keeps crashing her tablet or needs to boot to another partition, (b) running your tablet till the battery is dead, or (c) missing the point of the Internet Tablet.

Oh and don't you dare make my kernel monolithic. I want my modules!

(By the way, any idea when the open source wlan driver will be usable? Any work being done on it?)
