Sudheer's questions

I use Ubuntu 14.04 LTS version which used to boot fast at beginning but not i loads very slow. I searched for this but can't find suitable answers.

so i want to reduce my boot time which is now around 1min 12sec (boot chart) overall but i noticed its taking a longtime after grub menu and before login screen. A Blank screen appears after grub waiting... then login screen appears.

I want to know a way to reduce that blank screen time(or if possible remove) and get login screen as fast as possible.

I already removed several of my startup applications. Getting desktop after log-in is fast. I don't want to remove unity and install light desktop envinorments like Xfce and Lxde.

Thanks in advance

Edit: present i am using e4rat but that too did not save any time. I uninstalled ureadahead ubuntu-minimal packages to install e4rat.

I use a HDD hard disk(I don't want to buy a SSD)

My system configuration HP Pavilion dv6 3127tx, 3GB ram. I3 processor, 320GB sata harddisk, 1GB ATI Mobility radeon hd Graphic card and intel graphics, total boot time 50sec to 1min(above, it changes at every boot).

I previously used Ubuntu 12.04 LTS which has a version of Nautilus with a split screen feature it was very handy. I recently installed the Ubuntu 14.04 LTS version by removing 12.04 version which doesn't have this feature.

Can I get this feature back in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Nautilus 3.10.1 by editing Nautilus' system files or library files that Nautilus uses? I found some solutions but I don't want to downgrade Nautilus to older versions or any patched versions.

Thanks in advance.

I use Ubuntu 14.04 LTS version its login is very nice but after i installed cairo-dock, cairo-dock(Gnome) desktop environment got added and i can choose either unity or cairo-dock(Gnome) desktop environment but i don't want to use cairo-dock(Gnome) desktop environment so i want to remove that cairo-dock option from login page.

I tried removing it by uninstalling cairo-dock desktop integration packages but the cairo-dock core is also uninstalling with it but i want to use cairo-dock. I also tried removing it from the cairo-dock settings but when i open settings as standard user the gnome option is not accessable and when i open settings as root user the gnome option is not viewable.

so please can some suggest me how to remove that option from the login screen.

Thanks in advance.

I recently installed Ubuntu 14.04 LTS it works fine but I want to remove the guest account login.

I recently installed Ubuntu 14.04. Shutdown and logout from the top panel are not working.

They worked fine when installing the OS, but a few days back I installed fglrx drivers for my ATI graphics card. They didn't work and I got low resolution problems and Ubuntu didn't boot. I solved it by removing the fglrx graphic driver from the recovery mode and Ubuntu started to boot and work just fine, at least that's what I thought.

But now the shutdown and logout options in the top panel don't work. I have to logout using ctrl+alt+delete and shutdown with the shutdown option in the top panel (shutdown option works after logging out but not when logged in as a user).

I re-installed Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and shutdown options worked fine but after installing updates they stopped working again. I thought its the graphic driver fglrx installation problem but now i know its not that. I think its a problem with some file that got installed from Ubuntu updates.
Does any one know how to solve it?

I used Fogger in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, and it worked great. Recently, I installed 14.04 LTS, and in 14.04 I was unable to install Fogger.

I added the ppa from Terminal: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:loneowais/fogger It added, but updating shows an error and Fogger is not installing in 14.04.

I really liked Fogger, and I don't want to use webapps as alternatives.
