Thanks for that link. I've bookmarked that guide for future use.
I use nano for all my coding and writing. I never use an IDE.
I like bluefish for html, css and javascript. I don't know if it does any
other languages.
It's a text editor. There are tons of them. Emacs, Vim, Geany, and Eclipse
come to mind. That's not even including more basic text editors like gedit
and Mousepad.
Yep, sad to say but I did a quick search and it indeed is proprietary
software... sad but true.
I wonder if there is an easy libre coder that is easy like sublime only
obviously free software.
> to get a significant improvement, i would have to change the init to a
faster one
You're already using Upstart. I haven't seen any benchmarks, but Upstart and
systemd seem to be about the same in this regard, and I'm not aware of any
init system that's faster than these two.
The actual
one thing i wanted was to get a silent boot. if anybody is interested, my
non-perfect workaround with plymouth is to change the font colours to black
(0x00) in /lib/plymouth/themes -> text.plymouth and (im not sure if this
was the reason in my case) to disable the access to the .png

You'll probably get the biggest savings by using hibernate vs. shutdown.
Having said that there is software like bootchart in the repos to help
analyze the boot sequence.
What problem are you trying to solve by not showing anything on the screen?
Surely you can't possibly think that the insanely tiny amount of CPU usage
caused by playing an animation or printing text is slowing down your boot
time significantly. It's problably something like a millisecond.
initally i wanted a "silent" boot, a black screen until the login screen
appears, but then everythings getting unexpected complicated, it seems i have
to remove 'plymouth' completely or replace 'upstart' with a different init?
It won't help much.
Try to remove
quiet
on GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub to get a verbose boot and
be able to see if something is slowing down the boot.
I never had a Screen
I'd recommend rather the T400 for the screen. I could live with a slow cpu or
with little RAM, or with just 40 gb of hard drive. The only thing I can not
stand is a tiny screen (>14"). I had a 17" laptop, two 15.6" and currently a
14". I also had a netbook 10" for a brief time. 15" is
It is a nvidia gtx750ti.
Before switched over to Trisquel i used the proprietary drivers.
But with the newer nouveau releases my Card is (at least to some extent)
supported.
I will keep using it until i can afford a PC which is ready for free
Software.
Im thinking of a Thinkpad x200 together
what chipset is it?
if it's a funny nvidia one, get rid of it and see if you're processor, intel
we assume, will have integrated graphics.
I could solve the issue.
There was a problem between vesa and nouveau trying to access my graphics
card concurrent at boot time.
This ended in a deadlock. It seems that the chipset of my card is wasnt
correct recognized by nouveau or vesa.
I took a more recent linux-libre kernel and now
reinstall is best option
No; I've never experienced this. My Trisquel with full disk encryption and
LVM works just fine.
It sounds like one of the normal page elements is covering the unofficial
video player you're trying to use.
I haven't had any such problems with ViewTube.
Thanks a lot for your replies. I solved the problem by just disabling the
Youtube all add-on. Don't ask me why that worked, though.
Does that mean that it also doesn't work on your machine?
