Installing cinnamon on Lubuntu
I am running Lubuntu 16.10 on a Yoga 2 Pro. When I try to install the cinnamon desktop on it (via ppa from embrosyn), I get errors telling me I have unmet dependencies which cannot be fixed (something that others had with no solution). Does ANYONE know how to install cinnamon? It had it working at s...

Re: [Mint 18] HiDPI support in Mint 18, is it ok?
Many applications work fine for me: Lubuntu 16.10 with Cinnamon 3.2 on a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro. However, some applications are nearly unusable: ImageJ and master-pdf-editor, for instance, show up with tiny unreadable menus and icons. On the same hardware and OS, gnome and LXDE work fine, so the problem ...

Re: very slow, extremely slow boot
My NUC5i5RYK (with Mint 18, Cinnamon 3, 16 gb ram, 250 gb ssd) takes 34.8 sec to boot, of which 18.8 sec is firmware (MUCH longer than in the past), 5.2 sec loader, 1.9 sec kernel, and 8.9 sec user space. It used to boot MUCH faster (~10 sec) until a recent "upgrade" of the BIOS, and perhaps some Mi...

Re: Mint 18 Cinnamon slow boot
Have you tried to click SWAPOFF on the swap partition in gparted?
That did it for me.

Re: Teamviewer does not running at startup
Although the Teamviewer error message says to type what you typed (teamviewer --daemon start) it seems that you need to type: teamviewer --daemon enable
That worked for me. Why teamviewer persists in offering the misleading error message is a mystery.

Re: Very slow boot after upgrade to Mint 18 XFCE
As I mentioned elsewhere, I had the very same problem after an upgrade (not a clean install) from 17.3 to 18. After days of useless systemd-analyze XXX agony, I discovered that the upgrade has changed the UUID of my swap partition (blkid was producing an UUID that was different from what was in the ...

Re: LM18 slow boot and shutdown.
1: Can you run Mint n this computer from a live USB?
2: Did you try to swapoff (using gparted, to turn off your swap partition)?
3: Was it a clean install or an upgrade from 17?

Re: Linux Mint 18 boot time analysis
This sounds like a good idea-- could you be specific about how to do it?ps: change to using "LABEL=" rather than "UUID" method in /etc/fstab fixes this!
Thanks

Re: Linux Mint 18 boot time analysis
You might want to compare the UUID of your swap partition that appears in /etc/fstab with what you get when you type blkid in the terminal. In my case booting took >3 minutes, but when I turned off my swap partition (in gparted) it boots in <9 seconds. The uuid in fstab was different from what I got...

SOLVED--Re: Mint 18 Cinnamon slow boot time 2 min 50 second
I finally figured it out. During the upgrade from 17.3 to 18, the UUID of my swap partition changed so it did not match the UUID listed in fstab. The system was trying to find the swap partition with the wrong UUID, and wasted almost 3 minutes doing so before it gave up and proceeded with the boot p...

Re: Mint 18 Cinnamon slow boot time 2 min 50 second
I did not learn much from the response to dmesg, but systemd-analyze produced: Startup finished in 6.946s (firmware) + 10.648s (loader) + 1.798s (kernel) + 3min 518ms (userspace) = 3min 19.911s ----- and systemd-analyze critical-chain produced this suggestive output. The problem is how to use it to ...

Re: Mint 18 Cinnamon slow boot time 2 min 50 second
I shall look for fsck in the system log, but I remind you that the very same hardware and partition table was used in Mint 17.3, from which I upgraded to 18, and 17.3 used to boot in about 10 seconds or less. Here is the fsck from the system log-- it takes much less than 1 second: 05:38:51 udi-nuc s...

No-- sda2 is the main partition. The swap is sda3.

Re: Mint 18 Cinnamon slow boot time 2 min 50 second
In trying to understand the exceedingly long boot time of Mint 18 (~3 minutes), I typed in the terminal: systemd-analyze critical-chain right after booting. I got back a message: Bootup is not yet finished. Please try again later After an additional minute or two it ran properly. Sadly, I cannot tel...

Re: Mint 18 Cinnamon slow boot time 2 min 50 second
I upgraded from 17.3 (Cinnamon) to 18 using the package upgrade (not fresh installed). Boot time is much longer (~3 minutes) than with 17.3, and removing samba did not reduce the long boot time. My computer is a NUC5i5RYK (I5 processor, 16 gb ram, 250 gb SSD).

Re: My Experience with LM 18
I am using Mint 18/Cinnamon on a NUC5i5RYK (Intel's New Unit of Computing). I was using 17.3 and loved it. Now I have upgraded to 18.0, using a "package upgrade" rather than the fresh installation that Clem recommends. Everything went smoothly, but I noticed that rebooting now takes MINUTES instead ...

I have been using Lubuntu with the Cinnamon DE for a couple of years, and love it-- it is super fast, has nice support for my HiDPI screen, and sensible menus. Machines where I run MINT with Cinnamon, on the other hand, are slower, and upgrading across major releases (17 to 18) is discouraged or dif...

I have been using (L)ubuntu on several machines for the past several years. I prefer it to plain Ubuntu because of the inefficient, bloated and un-necessary ubuntu interface.
