e4rat under trisquel
Hello TrisquelGNU fans,
I just wanted to install e4rat on my system. I removed ureadahead and trisquel-minimal so the installation of e4rat was possible. But it did not work the right way. If I try to boot the system after e4rat-collect, I think the problem is, that the package trisquel-minimal is missing.
Has one of You ever tried to install e4rat to make the boot time of trisquel faster?
If yes, please give a documentaion about how to do it.
Thank You!
What do you mean by "it did not work the right way".
"trisquel-minimal" by itself is not the problem because it does not do anything (but depends on many other packages).
Did you install the DEB package linked in this page? Did you boot once after appending "init=/sbin/e4rat-collect" to GRUB's linux line? Did you then spend two minutes running your usual applications? Did you reinit in "single" mode and run 'e4rat-realloc /var/lib/e4rat/startup.log'? Did you add "init=/sbin/e4rat-preload" to the variable GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX (in /etc/default/grub) and run 'update-grub'?
You see: if you want help, you need to give more details!
Yes, I installed the .deb package from the site you mentioned.
The problem is solved. It worked the right way. I waqs just confused about a message on the boot screen, which dissapeared after a short while.
The only thing thats confusing me right now, is the fact, that my boot-up-speed is not faster as before e4rat. The screen stays a very long time black and then the boot messages appear. I did everything the right way as you mentioned and how it is explained here:

Can you help me with this? Thanks!
