Very Slow to Boot up

[Guest]

Hi I firstly tried Ubuntu, however I do prefer KDE so hence Kubuntu (Thanks Guys). I did have the slow load problem with Ubuntu and I found help in the forums

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...y+slow+booting

Open Terminal and enter :-
sudo gedit /etc/usplash.conf

The text editor will open and show the following :-
# Usplash configuration file
xres=1280
yres=1024

This wants editing to :-
# Usplash configuration file
xres=1024
yres=768

Change the values, Save and Exit.

However, we're not quite done yet. Use the following :-
sudo update-usplash-theme usplash-theme-ubuntu

That fixed it for me. Reboot and you should see the usual orange loading screen. (If your max screen res is less than 1024x768 then use the appropriate values.)

However when I open a terminal in Kubuntu and try this I just get no such command

Please help for a very new newbie

I just get no such command

No such command as what? gedit?

Change sudo to kdesu and gedit to kate, so it reads

kdesu kate /etc/usplash.conf
