A few days ago I noticed that after I login in, the top panel and the dash took a bit more time to load and I noticed more disc activity than usual.



I thought that it might have been caused by some update or by the installation of pdftk. So I removed pdftk but the "problem" persists.



Is there a way to know what is using the disc (read/write operations) on startup?



If it were at a later time, I would use iotop but I can only launch iotop after I get control of the desktop.



I'm on Ubuntu 12.10 amd64.



Edit



I took a look at the logs and in the Xorg.0.log file I found the following lines:



[    36.230] (II) XKB: reuse xkmfile /var/lib/xkb/server-ED81635D9DABCAA502951B920776FB5895D92DC0.xkm

[  6683.340] (II) XKB: generating xkmfile /var/lib/xkb/server-7111F82C412662D491D0F0A3A5A74C8F62B59F29.xkm


Could this be the problematic step?

This is the same problem i "WAS" facing but solved it, seems like a startup application was causing that problem.



Ok here is what i did -



sudo sed -i 's/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g' /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop



open startup application then uncheck - DISK NOTIFICATION (The Disk Utility notification is used to report disk failures using the SMART predictive technology). It explains your quote also




I noticed more disc activity than usual




if u like u can also shutoff (it depends on your needs) -




AT-SPI D-BUS BUS, Backup Monitor, Check for new hardware drivers,
Desktop Sharing, Onboard, Ocra Screen Reader, Personal file sharing,




Before unity was taking near approx. about 20 seconds to load now it takes 3 seconds roughly.
