Rc1_x64: 20 Second Delay After Logging In

Hi,

I have two setups of RC1 running, an elderly desktop, wired with x86 and a brand new dualcore wireless x64 laptop. What i noticed is that after logging in the laptop although newer takes MUCH longer to load. there is a delay of around 20 seconds before the taskmanager icons are loaded, the desktop loads them immediately.

At first I thought this was the wireless network starting up, but that is a process that is initiated after all the docked taskmanager icons are loaded and so after the 20 second delay.

does anyone have this as well? is it a x64 "feature" or something to do with a laptop?

Same here.

I'm also using the 64 bit version on a HP laptop and I experience the exact same thing!

Also my wireless doesn't auto-connect, I have to manually connect each time.

well it is not the networkmanager, nor the update applet. I tried disabling them both. Right after loading the bootsplash and displaying the KDE desktop and before the taskmanager icons are loaded there is a "dot" in the task manager tray and there it sits for around 20 seconds after which the login sound plays and the autostarted apps are loaded.

strange. stefan

It might be the audio subsystem or the volume control.

They both give me plenty of grief!!

I get a message about (some) sound thing has crashed, reverting to ALSA, and the sound in PysolFC is very scratchy sometimes. I thnk it's this newfangled sound system they're using (can't remember the name now), but Ubuntu users are complaining about it too.

I'll try NOT loading the volume control (which incidentally doesn't work with my mute/vol controls either!), see if that works.

The volume control doesn't load for me, I think it crashes.

This is from /var/log/messages:

I'm going to try and get rid of pulseaudio, and go back to alsa, see if that fixes it

Yup, that fixed ALL my problems with audio

I can now run multiple audio apps and no broken sound and progs refusing to run.

Also the long delay and "dot" in the systray are gone and my mixer now loads on boot.

Just search for "pulse" in Yast2 and remove everything
