kubuntu Faster ? tricks

Use kubuntu packages

you can even try to use a repository package that will help you to speed up kubuntu just do this

sudo apt-get install kubuntu-low-fat-settings

some of these tricks are on the package 🙂

Part1

Improve performace (if you need it):

• swappiness  ; you can set your swappines with this(ONLY NEW COMPUTER with a lots of ram):

  kdesudo kate  /etc/sysctl.conf

  add , if you have not , this string :

  vm.swappiness = 10

• you can even  set your computer to load , at the boot time ,  some process in a parallel way with this

 kdesudo kate/etc/init.d/rc

search for this :

CONCURRENCY=none

and set it like this

CONCURRENCY=shell

Set the desktop to use less ram disabling some stuff ….

there are gif animated photos =====> click on the picture to see

Well you could just do everything even if you have a nice ultrafast machine but.. i guess it’s not usefull to remove features and candy if you have that machine.

Anyway under some conditions you could want to decrease the ram usage, that could mean more battery for example.

Disable Semantic Desktop search

The most of time you would like disable only akonadi and nepomuck and stringi for that you need only to do this

Disabling Kwin effects

Disable the Oxygen Animations

Kde is very candy and beautiful with all these animations on menus but.. it could be too much heavy , i think to the netbook for example. So how to disable them ?

Disable Akonadi

kate ~/.config/akonadi/akonadiserverrc

set startserver=false

kate ~/.config/akonadi/agentsrc

after that this

[Instances]

replace akonadi with  #akonadi ; thsi will disable the istances you want disable .

Configure qt engine

sudo apt-get install kde-config-qt-graphicssystem && kbuildsycoca4

then go on system settings and set raster (FOR SOME VIDEO CARD PLASMA COULD CRASH reset to XRENDER IF IT HAPPENS )

Now faster krita && koffice

follow the white rabbit  xD

kate  “$HOME/.OpenGTLDebugConfig”

put thsi into

GTLCore = false
OpenCTL = false
OpenShiva = false

NOW KDE IS SO HEAVY? of course not ^^
