I'm seeing the kernel take 5 seconds, then systemdtake 5 seconds. And that's before any parallel processing kicks in, as per my bootchart attached above.

Thanks oldrocker. It's internal but the way the issue was fixed hasn't given me much confidence. The connections seemed fine put giving them all a shove fixed it.

Only thing is, there are around...

The syntax is the default for this Ubuntu install so I'll leave it as is, but thanks for the tip with dmesg. I'll remember that one for again.

I got physical access to the machine and checked that...

I SSH'd into a machine and noticed today one of my mount points is now missing. It's entered in fstab as:


/dev/disk/by-uuid/79fb515c-492e-49c9-8fde-0a3ade52bd7f /mnt/storage auto...

$ systemd-analyze
Startup finished in 5.302s (kernel) + 42.879s (userspace) = 48.182s

$ echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
x11

A lot must have changed between 14.04 and 16.04 for the system to have...

Thanks guys. I've attached updated inxi with better formatting and other options :)

I'm interested in feedback on the bootchart. Once I'm finally logged in everything is acceptable, if not...

Thanks TheFu. Unity might be a hog, but I wouldn't have expected it to affect boot time for example.

I've attached the output of inxi and I'm very curious what you think of the output!

I installed Ubuntu on my Uncles computer a few years ago. He hasn't installed many apps or used it much, but boot has gotten slower over the years. It's on 16.04 now, can anyone see an...

This AskUbuntu thread has a workaround and link to the bug report https://askubuntu.com/questions/992571/gui-unity-crashing-in-16-04-lts-after-latest-updates-compiz-segfaults

Since updating I'm having serious issues with Unity 7 desktop on 16.04 64-bit. If I open the dash, everything on the screen disappears except for the wallpaper. Then the windows reappear after a few...

This used to be a commercial app in the software center and now it's available by donation: http://foldercolor.tuxfamily.org/

I've been using it since 12.04 and it's very reliable and the effect...

Same issue with a Win 7 host.

Sorry for waking the dead, but I finally got this working using:
Ubuntu 13.04 with Graphics Accelleration
Wine
FreeDo 1.9

Happy days.

I have done everything as described in the instructions (removed meta-inf folder from the minecraft.jar in the ~/.minecraft/bin folder, added the ModLoader classes and put the Timber mod in the mods...

tartalo, thank you. That looks like one I might enjoy :) It's not really suitable for her though (some of the characters look menacing). I guess the educational games are the way to go.

stalkingwolf, thanks. I have the edubuntu stuff like tuxpaint, tuxtyping and tuxkart installed as well as some coloring games. She loves them.
odiseo77, thank you. I'm trying to avoid the games...

I've just finished playing Machinarium and my six year old really enjoyed trying out some of the levels. It's a bit dark for what I want her doing though and there was some content I don't want her...

kurt, cariboo, thanks for the feedback. I contacted them about refresh rates etc and they offered to install Ubuntu for me :) One thing to note is that it is not in fact e-Ink but transflective TFT...

I've been in touch with this company and they offered to install Ubuntu on this machine as a dual-boot option. Here is the device: http://www.cloversystems.com/SunBook.htm

I'm a bit out of touch...

I'm curious, since Windows has been using User Access Control since vista, isn't it basically on par with Ubuntu now? Isn't that the same as sudo?

Apologies for digging up an old thread but it...

I haven't got this working - in fact, I forgot about it. It was tricky getting it to work (it didn't) and it looked hopeless. But I may try again soon and get back to you. Unless the performance is...

Worked a treat for me, thank you. I'm running Ubuntu 12.04.2 and remotely viewing from Mountain Lion on a MBP.

Technically, my graphics card (GeForce 7600 GT) "works" and is supported under Ubuntu. But the screen turns completely black for a second or two at certain times such as logging in and launching...
