Re: CINNAMON desktop refuses to load without internet connection

Again, the problem is boot to LM20 -> logon screen -> enter password -> if not current internet connection ( wifi ) Cinnamon won't load and will get stuck ( probably waiting for internet connection ) and another view on this peculiar problem hyber...

Re: LM 20 Grub themes
After switching from nouveau driver to nvidia driver, typically plymouth boot splash ( lm logo with/without dots ) is knocked out and replaced with NVIDIA splash screen ( basically nvidia wallpaper ).

Re: Console message on shutdown
Hold your horses here, from my research this problem with messages at shutdown at this point it's cosmetic as many users report and it looks like it's a systemd bug. Read my post, there is a fix but for Arch, else you have to wait till systemd version 245.5 and even then there is no guarantee to fix...
