I've been using the OS for a while with very little issue but after a recent update the start up sequence has slowed down dramatically, I have purged Virtual Box as a general recommendation pointed out in other post of this forum but with little effect.

This is the systemd-analysis blame read out:
1min 7.737s apt-daily-upgrade.service
        36.799s nmbd.service
        34.953s samba-ad-dc.service
        34.157s NetworkManager-wait-online.service
        34.081s dev-sdb5.device
        21.775s console-kit-log-system-start.service
        20.624s ubiquity.service
        20.523s systemd-user-sessions.service
        20.507s rsyslog.service
        20.431s alsa-restore.service
        18.055s apparmor.service
        15.455s motd-news.service
        15.118s ModemManager.service
        14.141s ufw.service
        12.388s NetworkManager.service
        11.860s accounts-daemon.service
        11.730s systemd-udevd.service
          9.372s networking.service
          8.649s lvm2-monitor.service
          8.052s gpu-manager.service
          7.588s thermald.service
          6.762s lightdm.service
          6.631s upower.service

Any recommendations as to how to cut down the start-up times?

can i use windows 10 in virtualbox? can i buy product key and activate windows 10 in virtualbox?

Hello,


This printer is correctly working under LL 4.8 from several PC's.
Under LL 5.0 I get message "rendering completed". And printer tasks are stopped and stay in the printer queue.


I downloaded the most recent printer driver from HP site (as HP is now managing Samsung laser printers), installation without any problem.
The printer is founded by LL, I am able to get information concerning toner level from "properties" panel.


Firewall is disabled.

Thanks in advance for your help and informations

Hello, been away for a while and decided to test LL5 on a few old Windows-handicapped laptops before installing it later on my office PC running an old version of LL. I have had two failures on the old laptops and am perplexed as I have never had install problems with LL before.


To take the first problem, which is on a fairly old Toshiba Satellite:
The CD checks out and the OS works on the laptop hardware - though it does display a few error messages very quickly that screen upwards before the CD loads the OS for testing. Once loaded, absolutely everything works smoothly running LL5 from the CD.
The full erasure install hung a few times but eventually claimed a successful install. The machine does not boot at all though. I just get a flashing cursor in the upper left corner. I have gone through the install process via the CD several times, it claims success, but the machine performs like a brick now.


I have no idea what I should be looking out for or what alternatives I can try to get an install. The machine does not have any UEFI listing in the BIOS, the only useful parameter I can find is boot order.


Any advice gratefully welcomed.

(Dang originally posted in the wrong section, as I didn't classify this as a hardware problem. That's ASD for you.)

LL3.4 : Hp 15 notebook, quad core.

Ran updates Ok a couple of days ago. needed to reboot for some to take effect. It rebooted through 'safe' mode &then wouldn't connect to my wifi so shut down & logged back on all OK. Been on standby when not in use for last couple of days. Accidentally pressed on/off button tonight briefly & went into standby - I think. Pressed start button again to get back in & it shut down. now reboots to 'safe' (selects LL by default if left 30 secs.) I get the feather but his takes longer than normal to clear. then goes to command line login request. Accepts this OK with password & goes to command line $ after some messages inc:

What do I do now ?

Hi all, LL5 on Lenovo G50-30 Notebook taking a long time to load  - this seems to be the important bit.  Any help greatly appreciated.

Ans: post this in the 'hardware support' section, even though I don't class this as a hardware problem, that's where the start up / shut down subforum is.

i need some help while installing game controller in Wine but it's not going through


my game controller model is g uf13a

my desktop PC upstairs is a 64bit , i have linux lite 5.0 64bit. its not linux, its my power switch that is the problem.

my problem is a mechanical  problem with the power button that turns the pc on, ha ha , i have to reach inside the pc with one hand and gently push forward with one finger and press the power button with the other finger on the front, lol, i made a funny video of it , but have yet to upload it. in the mean time i either need to replace the switch(i think thats what one calls it) if its replaceable, or buy a new desktop PC.

this is why i am looking for a portable email client, that works from a USB only,
for example "thunderbird portable",
https://portableapps.com/apps/internet/t...d_portable

-----
the question is , what portable email client you suggest i try ?. 
i dont want to use the thunderbird email client already installed with this linux lite, for security reasons, in case the method i am using to power the pc on every morning no longer works (i turn the pc off before i go to bed)

Hi, new to Linux Lite, not new to linux; I'm trying it out as a replacement for my Slackware stuff.
Would love to have xed as text editor, but can't get it installed (tried several things, including the install instructions from the Linux Mint page (which is kind of strange as Lite is also based on Ubuntu..)).

Any tips on how to add the right PPA or another solution?

Thx!
