Just in addition to Mike's tip.

The GRUB_TIMEOUT functionality could be misunderstood. It is not determining the duration of the boot process itself.
It tells GRUB to boot the default entry this many seconds after the menu is displayed, unless a key is pressed. Meaning, it tells GRUB when to start the boot process.

To solve dependency issues you could also use

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get -f install

Hope that helps

Hey! Can you guys give me some tips how to make my Linuxlite much faster and lighter?

Hi ThenOOb,
I can give you an effective tip (one that I've used) for reducing or extending boot-up time to whatever duration you want. In the terminal type the following...

Code: [Select]

sudo gedit /etc/default/grub Change GRUB_TIMEOUT=10 to GRUB_TIMEOUT=2. This will change the boot time to 2 seconds. I prefer not to put '0 seconds' here, as you will loose the privilege to change between OS and recovery options. However if you do use a value of 0 seconds you can always change this in the terminal later if you want, so no harm done.  Once you have changed the grub configuration, save the configuration file, then use the following command to make the change count:

Code: [Select]

sudo update-grubRegards
Mike

PS. You may need to install gedit as, if I remember correctly, this app is not included in the LL iso file package. You have the choice of using either 'Install Software' (=synaptic package manager) which you'll find under Favourites in the Menu, or using the terminal enter the following code:

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get install gedit

Hi

It might help if you reveal some of your hardware specs?

Try opening a terminal as the local user and posting the contents of this command pls?

Code: [Select]

inxi -FIf you are paranoid you can delete your mac info showing at network?

2)  What software do you run normally?

3) When running software are you experencing any stutters ....shutdowns etc?

4)  The amount of software does impact on your RAM and your CPU %
so if you don't need do printing or don't use a piece of software and your specs are low, I could advise which to remove or disable the daemon.

Bear in mind that as the guru has already replied here, he may not be too happy with any insunation that I might think that I know more than him....cos I don't.

Never the less if your system specs turn out bad....as a local user run a terminal command of

Code: [Select]

htop and take a screenshot with your main regular software still running

---but don't post it yet as others may not like my attitude?

cheers

Boot up is a lot faster than 2.8. I don't know if it is 3.0 or because I am using 64 instead of 32 bit now. 

I had been using 32 before because I started with 32 bit on and older computer and did not know if my 32 bit files would be open if I changed to 64.
