Hi everyone,

After successfully installing the latest (and last) 32-bit build on my 2006 MacBook Pro alongside Snow Leopard, I'd now like to install LL (latest 64-bit stable) on my Lenovo laptop, and I really, REALLY want to do it via Grub2Win because I don't want to have to rebuild my MBR if things go South with LL.

So far, I haven't done anything other than install Grub2Win (went without a hiccup).

I still have to partition the SSD on the laptop (got about 350GB of free space left on the Windows partition, so I've got room to wriggle); I haven't tried to boot from the USB stick where my LL copy is.

In your experience, is there anything I should really be cautious about, in terms of partitioning, before and during install? Any precautions I should take on the Windows side before I take the plunge?

Contrarily to the Mac, this laptop is my primary machine. I work on it every day, got Trados and Domino installed on it for my translation work, and every new install is a pain in the rear, license-wise, especially with Trados, and, as I said in preamble, I'd like to keep the hairy stuff to a minimum.

First of all, I'm just an amateur that likes a lot LL, but I don't really understand a lot of Linux systems. Second, I'm not an native english speaker (I will repost this in the spanish section, I did here to have some more range).

So, my issue is that before the login screen appears, I see a black screen and a cursor blinking. It blinks 3 to 10 times and then the login screen appears. I want to fix that.

Also, I want to get back the GRUB screen from LL, I have installed Windows after Linux, so I had to install a generic GRUB. I also have the LL GRUB in my desktop and love how it works.

Thanks a lot.

Muy buenas.

Verán, mi problema es que desde hoy mi laptop ha estado teniendo un comportamiento extraño. Justo antes de iniciar la pantalla de inicio (me refiero a donde se introduce la contraseña para iniciar sesión) aparece una pantalla negra con un cursor, esta pantalla se pone del todo negra con una línea en la parte superior-izquierda y vuelve a aparecer el cursor, así sucesivamente, entre 2 y 10 veces hasta que por fin aparece la pantalla de inicio. Quisiera resolver eso.

Por otro lado, instalé Windows después de haber ya instalado Linux Lite, razón por la cual tuve que instalar un GRUB genérico, pero quisiera volver a la pantalla de GRUB de LL, puesto que es bastante atractiva y me gusta cómo trabaja.

Eso es todo, quedo agradecido y atento.

The Subject says what I want, a very basic video editor. I am NOT looking to do anything elaborate, probably ever. All I want to do is remove overly long beginnings and/or endings to videos that I have downloaded.

For example, I downloaded a pair of videos of concerts by a college music department. One has about 8 minutes at the end of the school's name and logo. The other has 10 minutes and 38 seconds in the beginning of the same and 7 minutes at the end. I just want to remove those dead minutes. If I could also cut dead spots, when the musicians change, that would be nice, but is not really needed at this time. Kdenlive, Openshot, and others are overkill for what I want to do.

Anyone have any suggestions for programs that you have used to do what I want?

I've gotten myself a new PNY SSD, so I decided to install a fresh LL 4.8 from scratch.
Installing was easy peasy and made me feel happy how fast the ssd experience for the first time.
The problem occurs after a clean fresh install, when I try to install other language (in this case Japanese) it freezes midway. I can move my mouse cursor but can't click on anything, also everything's froze aside from my ability to move the mouse cursor.


Is this normal and I just have to wait it out? It's been near an hour since I've posted this thread that I'm in this predicament.

My apologies for something that is probably easy to solve.

I'm a week in on Linux Lite and for some reason my updates aren't updating today.  Totally new to Linux but can someone help me out in layman's terms.  Thanks.

Hi together,
my second "small" problem: after a new start and some times of running, the File Manager / Thunar, did not start (no responding) anymore. I'm not able to find any solution for that. The only one possibility is to restart Linux.

Thanks and best regards,
Klaus

Hola de nuevo: Hace tiempo que instale el relé de TOR pues desde mis tiempos de Windows siempre me ha gustado colaborar con dicha red por su servicio de ayuda a personas con problemas en sus paises, por la censura.
Al cambiar a Linux me he sentido interesado de nuevo por colaborar desde esta plataforma a la red mediante un relè de Tor.
Hasta aqui sin problemas , pero al instalar el paquete snap  en mi maquina no he encontrado la forma de hacelo correr y no se porquè.
Por eso pido ayuda a los Linuxliteros que ya hayan pasado por este trance y me digan como hacer que este programa funcione y funcione bien.
No he encontrdo el ejecutable que me permitiria ponerlo a funcionar y aqui mis dudas .
1º El programa esta en el sistema pero no veo la forma de ejecutarlo
2º Tal vez se necesite instalarlo desde la terminal como he hecho con el servicio TOR para el Navegador Firefox, pero no se la forma.
3º Tal vez haya que desinstalarlo he instalarlo de nuevo pero desconozco como hacerlo.
4º ¿Hay alguna otra forma de instalar el paquete Snap u otro similar que no se si existe?
Bueno me pongo en vuestras manos a ver que me podeis contar.

Un saludo a tod@s y espero noticias

Hi together,
From time to time, after the start-up of Linux and the LOGIN, the laptop is going immediately in "Suspend / Standby"-mode. Restart than over the "power button" of the dockingstation.
FYI: the laptop is connected to the dockingstation, the lid is allways closed because I use an external monitor (HP, 1900x1200).
Maybe you can help.
Thanks a lot and best regards,
Klaus

Hello,

Very slow start, over 3 minutes...

After read many answers on the same slow start subjects, try few solutions without succes.

=> cmd: sudo systemd-analyze critical chain
