  1. [SOLVED] Re: Sony Vaio PCG-FX190 locks on shutdown sometimes

    I have no other ideas for you. Yes, turning off DRI makes videos unable to play, but for my needs suspend is more useful than videos. Apparently YYMV with the settings.

    Every once in a while I do...
  2. [SOLVED] Re: Sony Vaio PCG-FX190 locks on shutdown sometimes

    I still had some problems with the machine locking after resume. I updated the 99quirks file on my page (referenced above). I have not had any further problems, I highly recommend you update. As for...
  3. [SOLVED] Re: Sony Vaio PCG-FX190 locks on shutdown sometimes

    I tried

  4. [SOLVED] Re: Sony Vaio PCG-FX190 locks on shutdown sometimes

    I think I fixed it. DRI requires a depth of 16. I changed the depth to 24, which disabled DRI, but I haven't had the lock up yet. So either the depth of 16 is the problem, or DRI. I tried either...

    The i815 does not have kernel mode setting support (KMS) so this isn't the issue. I tried with the option anyway, no difference.

    1. Copy the rescue ISO to /boot

    [all variants] Re: How to show network status in GDM

    Tried that but gdesklets is broken on Lucid. I tried the sysmonitor in screenlets, but it locks up if the wireless goes offline :(

    Maybe I'll use screenlets and write my own...

  13. Re: Improve (potentially halve) login time by using readahead

    Yes, the previous instructions should work. After you do updates or things change, you may want to run with " profile" in the boot sequence again.

    Please let me know either way if it works. Last...

    I have a separate /home partition. The script already handles that.

    1. Save the script I posted into /etc/X11/Xsessions.d
    2. Reboot but type "e" (edit) on the grub line before booting. Add " profile". This will cause the boot and desktop login...
  16. Re: Improve (potentially halve) login time by using readahead

    I should've done some more testing. For some reason the sub-shell would not continue after 'xmessage'. I updated my previous post so I think it should work now.
