Are you using ext4 with journaling? Any performance tips? I was reading that you should not use swap space and to use noatime mount option. Vijay Hey Matt,

I recently purchased an SSD and looking to put ubuntu 9.04. Are you using ext4 with journaling? Any performance tips? I was reading that you should not use swap space and to use noatime mount option.

All you have to do is go into the network manager prefs, edit the connection, and there is a tick box for allow all users to use this connection and a tick box for always authorize. Tick those off, hit save and no more keyring popup. Actually keyring problem is super easy to fix.

Normally the keyring gets unlocked at the same time you log in since it is encrypted with your password. When you have automatic login enabled, it can't obtain the password and that's why it prompts you for the keyring password. The keyring contains encrypted versions of your network passwords, that's why the network manager needs to unlock it before it can connect to wireless. In fact Macs have/had a similar issue :) But as you said it should be fixed because it's something ordinary users don't understand.. Overall Ubuntu is very user friendly though, and there are not many things like these. Actually it’s the “automatic login” that causes the keyring issues.

Other than that and, perhaps, situations were your life depends on your computer's ability to boot in under 10 seconds (such as cases when I need to transport from the bridge of my starship before the warp core breach), I do not understand the obsession with quick boot time. I'd rather my system boots properly, starts services in the correct order, doesn't try to connect to NTP, NFS, or NIS before the network is started, check the logs, check the filesystems, etc. And if this take a whole minute, oh well, I guess I will just have to learn to live with it. I'd rather spend my time following some <a href="http://www.krazyworks.com/?p=886" rel="nofollow">good advise</a> on how to make my system faster where it actually matters.
