I never had to work with permissions in Ubuntu, so I'm getting grey hair here...
I have two users on a PC. I want to make a shared folder, where I can put files and where the other user can access...
Hi folks,
This is still happening on this same PC... I haven't been able to figure out why it's freezing.
Any ideas that I could look into?
It really looks like the slow start up happens every time the computer is restarted.
Like this:
@ThinkPad-E540:~$ time gnome-calculator
real 0m6,010s
user 0m0,312s
sys 0m1,866s...
Ok, good to know.
So I could just remove these and reinstall through apt-get or Software center?
Probably I would mess up the system if I remove these, though...
core 16-2.32.5 4486 stable...
Yes, VLC and Spotify are Snap.
I'll change that, probably it helps.
These other entries were installed by default, so I guess better to leave them alone.
@ThinkPad-E540:~$ snap list

Memory usage seems to be at around 20-25%, 2 GB out of 7,5, no swap at all.
Ok, thanks, I did not know of "time" command.
Gedit opens fast now, but Spotify is miserable. Probably because of failed load of modules?
@ThinkPad-E540:~$ time spotify
Gtk-Message: Failed to...
I did a fresh minimal install of Ubuntu 18.04, and now the apps open very slow when I first open them, even small apps like Gedit and VLC. Spotify takes ages.
Second time around the starting time...
It's just cleaned, wasn't too dusty or anything :)
Even before this tinkering with the fan, the temperature got up to 55 degrees before the fan turned on. Before the bios update the normal...
Too early to "celebrate"... The fan does not follow /etc/thinkfan.conf parameters, but works with some other limits. I have now the thinkfan.conf as follows:

I recently updated the bios of my Thinkpad E540, and it made some changes to the fan operation. Now it happens that the fan goes on and off pretty constantly, which is annoying when working in silent...
Here's another freeze:

For long time, it was working ok, but just now it froze again.
This is from the syslog, is it related & revealing anything?

What should I look for?
How is this possible..? This question has been here for four weeks, and the stats show that no-one has even viewed it???
I have an office computer with two users, and often when either of the users has left the computer to lock the screen automatically, system freezes when trying to change user when logging in again. I...
Replying my own question...

Now I use nouveau, and things work great! I can use dual monitor setup,...
I recently bought a new Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E540, and installed Ubuntu 14.04 on it. I ran in to a few problems:
1) Suspend did not work -> workaround was to disable USB 3 in Bios, which prevents...

Thanks for help.
So this seems to me that it's a problem with the replacement battery. I went to a store where they sell old laptops, and tested my system with an original Dell battery - and this process doesn't...
