I recently installed Ubuntu 16.04 on my desktop computer, completely converting from Windows (not dual boot, VM, alongside, etc.), and initially it seemed to work perfectly. I made some very, very minor changes, such as changing the desktop wallpaper, auto-hid the launcher, and turned off the password requirement after lock screen. That was day one.
Now, on day two, when I booted up, the wallpaper is back to the default, the launcher won't auto-hide, and most concerning is that the system won't let me turn off the password requirement or even turn off the lock screen option. The system also seems to be a bit sluggish. The screen scrolling lags slightly behind my scroll wheel scrolling.
Are there updates I'm supposed to run after installing? Anything else you would do after installing to optimize the system?
Edit: When I type sudo apt-get update in terminal, I get "unable to change to root gid: Operation not permitted".
Thank you!
