I agree with sleep/hibernate, but they don't work on my system anyway, so I haven't considered them.]]> Mon, 24 Aug 2009 18:39:39 +0000
It works on my laptop, but it takes bloody ages.]]> Mon, 24 Aug 2009 18:44:48 +0000
I mean, really, if ~10 seconds is going to make you later for your bus, perhaps you need to organise your time better. Any number of intervening events could delay you far more than that.

So, while I don't think it's necessarily a bad idea, I put down a don't care for solution #1, +1 for solution #2.]]> Mon, 24 Aug 2009 22:40:49 +0000
Suspend/hibernation speed is a lot more important that shutdown speed, because those are much more likely to be used in a hurry. (That is, if the user actually happens to be in the priviliged few that are even able to use such a strange and esoteric feature as a *gasp* suspend for a laptop! Sorry for the rant, but all this suspend/hibernate stuff really, really needs to be fixed...)]]> Tue, 25 Aug 2009 07:48:45 +0000
Anyone here have any idea?]]> Tue, 25 Aug 2009 11:13:01 +0000

Does anyone have an idea about how fast it was, or is?]]> Sat, 29 Aug 2009 00:09:07 +0000 Mon, 31 Aug 2009 10:59:00 +0000 Restart = Boot time + shutdown time]]> Mon, 31 Aug 2009 21:09:05 +0000 Mon, 31 Aug 2009 21:11:42 +0000
Now, I realize this is because of multiple bugs. Fixing them would remove my problem. How ever, I do not expect all of them to get fixed any day soon. While waiting for someone to fix the core issues, a reliable and fast shutdown would serve me rather well.]]> Mon, 31 Aug 2009 23:27:30 +0000
I would recommend this prioritisation of tasks:
1) Fix hibernation problems to a reasonable extent (I'm certain some progress has been made on this kernel-side; unsure about the version)
2) Make hibernation fast
3) Make boot faster, multi-threaded boot
4) Make shutdown faster

I think at this point in time, it would be greatly beneficial to add a tux-on-ice patched kernel to the repos, in case it improves the situation for some people.]]> Thu, 03 Sep 2009 11:13:56 +0000 Fri, 04 Sep 2009 22:54:20 +0000 Sat, 05 Sep 2009 01:20:19 +0000 Wed, 09 Sep 2009 20:17:17 +0000 Thu, 02 Dec 2010 16:34:29 +0000
