Dash Home really long to show up

  • 772

when I click on the Dash Home button, the search boax application is really long to appear (around 5 seconds). How to remedy this?

thanks Ubuntu 12.10 (I don't really want to upgrade it, because the last time I had to fresh install..., so I am waiting for the next LTS).

    I Recommend you Try Speeding Up Your Unity Interface by following these steps that i have posted in another thread:

    To Speed Up Unity Follow Here:

    1. Open A Terminal Window (CTRL T) Or Search Terminal In Unity

    2. Type In The Following:

      sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

    3. Close Your Terminal

    4. Goto Unity Search And Type In:

      Compiz

    5. Click Compiz

    6. First Click Opengl Plugin

    7. Take A Screenshot Before You Do Any Changes!!!

    8. Change The Following

      Uncheck Sync To VBlank And Change the Dash Blur To No Blur

      Then See if This Made Unity A bit Faster! If it made unity faster and you are satisfied, Close Compiz

    if Not you can try a couple other tweaks

    1. Click back At The Bottom Then Click Composite

    2. Take Another Screenshot

    3. Then Uncheck The Option Detect Refresh Rate

    4. Then Click Back And Go Into Unity

    5. Take Another Screenshot

    6. Then Change The Following Option

      Change: Dash Blur To No Blur

    Then Close Compiz

    If there was an issue during your installation or you have problems with Unity or anything, Use the screenshots you took to restore your Settings.

    Enjoy!

  2. The simplest way to speedup this is to uncheck two thing-

    goto system settings - privacy and uncheck both including online search results and record activity.As shown below privacy

    It will definitely work.
