Speed it up... _________________________________________________________________ This tip is aimed at users of KDE3.0, but the same point will apply for KDE2.2. Just replace the path /opt/kde3/bin with /usr/share/bin When KDE starts, one of the tasks it performs is to perform a scan for Netscape Plugins. In my system I have a lot of plugins due to the use of 'Crossover Plugins' and this takes more than 30seconds. However long your plugin scan takes you can very easily reduce the time. Instead of scanning for plugins every time you start KDE it is much quicker to not scan automatically, but instead to perform a manual scan using KDE Control Centre>WebBrowsing>NetscapePlugins whenever you install a new plugin. To disable automatic scanning edit the file /opt/kde3/bin/startkde Comment out the entire stanza starting with .. # Laurent kde2.2-30mdk scan-nsplugins #if [ -x /opt/kde3/bin/nspluginscan ]; then # /opt/kde3/bin/nspluginscan #fi Editor's note: This thread was originally posted at the old MUB (Mandrake User Board at club-nihil).
