you can also search with specific word boundries:

in normal mode:
/phone\>

will search for phone with word boundry at the end so it will match telephone but fail phonebooth

in normal mode:
/\<phone

will match phonebooth but fail telephone

and in normal mode:

/\<phone\>

will match phone only :)

Excellent article. Worked great, sped up my boot noticeably. I had done this with a previous Ubuntu on different hardware and was very happy with what it did. So I thought I would do it again on my new hardware. Worked so well that now my machine tries to load the login before the Nvidia driver has finished initializing.

So the only thing that comes up is the select low resolution screen. I tried reconfiguring and ultimately gave up and after about the sixth try just went through it to the CLI login. After logging in I ran the 'startx" command and voila! Working fine!
So now I log in in CLI after bypassing the Low-resolution option screen.

I think I'd like to reverse this, is there any way to get rid of the "profile" changes?

Again, great article, my problem is caused by the speed of my SSD boot disk.

You can use the Disk Utility tool in Ubuntu

1. System>Administration>Disk Utility
2. Select the pendrive and click “unmount volume”
3. format the drive
4. create partition (of whatever your choice)

that’s it. works 100%

2010-07-08T11:16:45.734+05:30

@Andre,
Add profile to the line:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

It should be like this now:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash profile"

Very interesting post. I have one question after your explanation. If we update some software ( a new kernel version from Ubuntu repositories, a startup application, a new Nvidia driver, this kind of things ... ) . Acording to optimize the performance, should we repeat the operation of profiling againg ?

Thanks a lot.

2010-07-07T11:26:49.623+05:30

when u boot linux with "profile" option, a profile of your boot i.e the drivers that should actually be loaded(rather than searching for the drivers) and many other things are made. So the next time you boot the profile is used to load your kernel rather than search for the drivers etc.

Does one add this in addition to whatever you might have there? Been struggling to understand the purpose of asound.conf, and how various codes relate to the ubuntu system as whole.

Any tips on what else to do or not?
