I just installed Kubuntu 17.04 after using Ubuntu and Xubuntu in the past and I'm running into a strange issue. About 90% of the time, the system starts with tty1 in focus but sddm (and thus my GUI)...
Well, I figured out a way, though it is not perfect. Setting the unredirect_fullscreen_windows flag for Compiz seems to help:
gconftool-2 --set...
I love Unity for the most part but I've found that it causes a lot of slowdown, especially in OpenGL games. Is there any simple way to disable compiz (or at least, the compositing effects) in order...
Well, current chromium is 53, so that's not a particularly new build.
There are two factors to this. First, as you mentioned, is that Chromium is not intended to work with WidevineCDM. I know that...
I searched around and found a number of recent posts regarding specific HiDPI issues but I haven't seen anything recent about "which DE handles it best?"

Well in Xubuntu 15.10 I'm not seeing any udev rules in /etc/udev. Are they located somewhere else or is udev not really used with systemd here?
So I marked this as unsolved again... I had installed ubuntu-mate 15.10 and did not have an issue. I went back to xubuntu 15.10 (which I want to use) and I am now seeing the problem again.
Haven't had a BIOS update in a long time and it worked with the script in 14.10 and earlier.
I installed 15.10 though and it seems to disable WOL by default on my system, so I guess this is a...
Thanks for the additional follow-up. I tried adding the block to /etc/network/interfaces but it did not work. Adding it to rc.local worked for the first boot but when I put the computer to sleep and...
Thank you for the response but that 1) doesn't seem to have anything to do with wakeonlan and 2) is from 2012... But using rc.local doesn't work anyway as it does not keep the setting if you put the...
In the past I have always been able to disable WakeOnLan on my laptop by copying /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/disable_wol to /etc/pm/power.d/ and modifying it to set WakeOnLan to "d" for all cases. I am...
Ubuntu runs fstrim by default in cron.weekly. The command called is
fstrim --all
It will run fstrim on any volumes that support it. So it will not run on HDDs and the handful of SSDs that do...
It sounds like you're pretty well set on using POP3. I personally think IMAP is much better for the multi-device world we have today, but if POP3 is working for you then there's no reason to switch.
In order to add your Gmail account that has 2-step verification enabled to an e-mail client on your desktop/laptop you will need to use an application specific password. I am not aware of any e-mail...
I was all ready to REISUB upon installing Xubuntu after I read the release notes only to find that I didn't run into a hang after installing. I made my USB using LinuxLive USB Creator in Windows. I...

I logged the bug a couple weeks ago. Did I leave anything necessary out?
I know this doesn't address the entire issue, but if you add the "noauto" option to the disk in fstab you will avoid this. It will still be mounted if it is present but the system will not wait for...
There would be no need to have Unity installed, but you may end up with different pre-installed applications depending on your initial install process. If you want to have both GNOME and Cinnamon...
Your understanding is correct. Ubuntu does not log anything with its fstrim job and anacron will ensure that it will run regardless of whether the computer was on at the specified time.
fstrim...

When I was doing this I was only using a single disk and mounted it with the permissions option. That made plex...
If anacron is installed, Ubuntu will use that instead of cron to run daily, weekly and monthly jobs. You can check that anacron is installed on your system by running...

Even Fedora, which has spearheaded the conversion to systemd, provides sysvinit compatibility four years after they made the switch. I doubt it will be fully removed any time soon.
I'm very surprised you run out of RAM with 4GB + 4GB Swap. I think the first step would be to confirm that's actually what's happening. Run a system monitor (weather it's conky, top in a virtual...
In 15.04 they have added a GUI to configure the GTK greeter, but it essentially just edits the configuration files in /etc/lightdm.
Add some lines in lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf that read...

Eh, not specifically. It's certainly lighter than Unity or KDE but it's not as light on resources as Xfce or lxde. It's really meant to be a full-featured desktop that sticks to the older UI...
