Post: Re: LL boots up sluggish, becomes 'snappy' on logo...
| Quick update. I fired up this laptop after two years -- now I have a use for it. It behaves as I remembered it. Naturally put on the latest LL, and was so surprised that the UI did not seem sluggish a... |

Post: Re: LL boots up sluggish, becomes 'snappy' on logo...
| Interesting pingball, thanks for the confirmation. Yeah when I bought this thing it had W8 on it, and then W10 -- and it was always a dog. Never explored the issue and certainly never thought about di... |

Thread: Installing over Xubuntu
Post: Re: Installing over Xubuntu
| Thanks everyone, I hear words of wisdom everywhere.
There is another option -- just leave it as is. I mean it works. Think I'll do that, work with the sources and migrate them carefully to this lapto... |

Post: Re: LL boots up sluggish, becomes 'snappy' on logo...
| Thanks TC
That link was interesting reading -- great insight into Linux. I spent the next couple hours in follow-up reading. Yeah, it's fun to learn.
Perhaps I was unclear. My last post was meant to... |

Post: Re: LL boots up sluggish, becomes 'snappy' on logo...
| They say if you can't reproduce it, it's not a bug.
Well this is a bug. I was able to reproduce the problem in a Live Boot environment with just a few mouseclicks. Think that rules out a few things l... |

Post: Re: LL boots up sluggish, becomes 'snappy' on logo...
| Thanks Jerry, was not sure where this post belonged.

Thread: LL boots up sluggish, becomes 'snappy' on logoff/logon
Post: Re: LL boots up sluggish, becomes 'snappy' on logo...
| Well, I've been trying this or that to nail it down, and the one reproducible step is that booting up from a power-off state triggers the problem. A reboot from the GUI, or log off/on it works fine.
