My wife had been complaining about how slow Firefox was on her Lenovo laptop. I had experienced the same problem on my Lenovo and had made the switch to SeaMonkey. Yesterday I finally took the time to check her laptop out. It wasn't just slow. It was excruciatingly slow. Moving the mouse cursor over an item took 2 - 3 seconds for it to highlight, then took another 2 - 3 seconds to respond after clicking. Loading web pages was also unbearably slow. So I went ahead and installed SeaMonkey. Guys, it was the difference between night and day. I can't fully explain just how much faster SeaMonkey is on that laptop. I'm not promoting SeaMonkey here. I'm trying to point out that there is some problem with Firefox. I don't know if it's something that is only apparent with Lenovo laptops, certain video cards, just the configuration of my Lenovos, or what. What I can say is that if you are running Firefox and it seems slow to you, you might want to consider installing a different web browser. If you happen to really Firefox, but think it's too slow, you can install SeaMonkey, then add the Sea Fox extension and the Classic Firefox Theme For SeaMonkey extension and you'll end up with basically Firefox. No, there are a few differences, but basic layout and functions are close to the same.

Hi Guys,

I am running the old 2.4 with a lot of tweaks, redecoration & etc, rather old one but works fine for me
One moment I've recently found out - I can not switch users, got black screen instead.
(right from the beginning it was configured for autologin)

So I've digged a bit:
lightdm --test-mode --debug
the same black screen.

/usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm-greeter-session /usr/bin/lightdm-webkit-greeter
same-same

ok, clean 2.4 inside VM on lightdm-webkit-greeter shows the login page.

My system

On an old Asus X71Q (setup3 in sig), which comes with 2 separate physical drives, I would like to dual-boot LL with Windows OS, but not in the conventional way.

In the past, I have dual-booted LL & Win7 on one physical drive (/dev/sda), and linked them to the 2nd physical drive (/dev/sdb), the latter used as a data-only partition.  However, this time I would like to install Win7 on the 1st drive and LL on the 2nd, and link both OSes to an external USB drive which I'll use as the data partition.

Before I start, I just want to check if there is anything I should do a bit differently for this less conventional way of dual-booting ... ? 

Many thanks as always, for your help

Mike

After the most recent updates, which seemed to include an update to lxterminal, I can't use the Resource Usage tool.  I can't open a terminal using ctrl-alt-t.  I can't open a terminal using the terminal icon in the bottom left of the panel (default setup).  I can open a terminal if I go to the Menu and type lxterminal.  An option to "Run lxterminal" appears and a terminal will open.  I can open htop from there.  That is the only way I've seen to do it so far.  This is affecting both my laptop and desktop.

Good god I hope not  >
