When I boot my computer up, it gets stuck for about a minute, and sometimes even longer.

No working leases in persitent Database - sleeping. After this screen it finally loads the login screen. One of the reasons I switched to linux was low boot up time but it's not seeming to be...

OnLive + Wine = Windows Gaming on Linux

Posted 04-04-2012 at 11:09 PM by stretchedthin

Yoono All your social networking in one place.
