I encounter a problem on booting process. It seems like a disk checking, cleaning etc., but on every boot is just too annoying.

Here is the image I shot at the booting process: enter image description here

I remember yesterday I did something to Ubuntu with the purpose to repair wake up problem after suspend (though unsuccessful), what I did is:

In a terminal run sudoedit /etc/pm/sleep.d/fglrx-fix and paste in the following script. Afterwards make it executable by running sudo chmod u+x /etc/pm/sleep.d/fglrx-fix

Script:

#!/bin/bash
#Script kills autofs when going into standby to eliminate issues with it
case $1 in

suspend)
#suspending to RAM
    chvt 1
    echo "Going to sleep"
    sleep 1
;;
resume)
#resume from suspend 
    echo "try to resume"
    sleep 1
    chvt 7
;;       
esac

After that I tested suspend Ubuntu but Ubuntu failed to wake up. Then I wanted to make the above file not executable by using chmod -R -x /etc/pm/sleep.d/fglrx-fix, but I was told I don't have permission to do it. Then I cut off all the text in the above file and saved.

That is what I did. How should I do now so that it won't check the disk every time the system boots. It is really very annoying. Thanks a lot for your help.

PS: 1. Should I delete the file fglrx-fix? If yes, how? 2. I forget to say that the checking time is about 1 min. , not a very long time, but still strange and annoying. 3. Should I stop force check?

PS2: 21.11.2015 removed the file fglrx-fix, but the problem is still there. Pls help! enter image description here

PS3: I searched the file fsck, this is the result: enter image description here

Having had beautiful Ubuntu about 5 days, I encounter a serious problem when waking from suspension. The machine can enter successfully into suspension mode, but can not wake up once I shake my mouse, which is no problem in Windows. When I try to wake up, the fan starts, the mouse has a red light (reacting), but the screen is black, and the keyboard is not responsive. I then have to force-shut down my computer by holding the power button for about 10 seconds, and then turn it on again, which is very annoying

Bios setting: ACPI suspend type is S3, and YES to "run VGABIOS on S3 resume".

The graphics card is a GIGABYTE VGA NVIDIA GT610 1GB DDR3 (Passive), using NVIDIA binary driver - version 352.41 from NVIDIA-352 (proprietary, tested). It is very disappointing, without suspension, my computer will waste lots of electricity. What can I do? Thanks in advance.

Edit: I tried many ways, including this but nothing worked for me. What else can I do?

I installed android-sdk-linux to run an Android program on Ubuntu. The installation was successful, but now I want to remove it. Since I am very new to Ubuntu, I don't know how to remove it safely.

I downloaded android-sdk-linux to my Downloads folder and I unzipped the file right there. I can locate the folder android-sdk-linux. What if I just delete this folder? Is it safe?

For the above installation I installed another program called Open JDK java 7 runtime which I found in the Ubuntu Software Center, and it is easy to remove it.

Thank you.

My newly installed Ubuntu 15.10 can not enter hibernation.

The PC has 4gb ram, and the swap partion is 4 GB (but when I check the real size of the /linux-swap partion, I found out it is only 3.73 GB!), so is it the reason that the Ubuntu can not enter hibernation?

How big should the swap partition be so that the system can enter hibernation? Or is there other way to do the same trick? How difficult is to enlarge the swap partition size?

The following shows partitions of my hard drive. Unfortunately there is no unallocated partition around the /swap partition. (showed between sda3 (which is / partion) and sda2 (which is a windows extended NTFS partition, almost empty). Is there a way to cut several GB from the neighbor partitions to add to the swap partition? Thank you.

Here is a screenshot:

I installed Sigma Photo Pro (a windows program) through Wine, but after the installation completed, the program wouldn't start. So I try to remove the program in order to reinstall it again.

But I am not able to remove the program, so I tried typing "wine /home/paul/Downloads/SPP_5.5.3_setup.exe" in the terminal. After some steps it says "msiexec.exe has encountered a problem and needs to be closed", I checked detail error info, it says "wine unhandled exception assertion failed in 32-bit".

Should I try older version of Sigma Photo Pro setup files, e.g. SPP 5.0.0 instead of 5.5.3? And is there a way to remove the program? Will it be harmful leaving the installed SPP_5.5.3 in Ubuntu?

I tried using a DVD to install ubuntu 15.10 64bit but it stopped / hanged after I chose install ubuntu (instead of try ubuntu). The pc has a CPU that supports 64bit and 4 gb ram. I tried install it through a bootable usb key, but it stopped at the first shown menu of choices after I chose install ubuntu. I tried many times. Same problem. What could be the reason? Should I try 32bit older ubuntu? Thanks for help.
