I have some wierd graphical issue
Solution 1:
Wayland
You may have a problem with an older computer, with an older GPU. Try this...
sudo -H gedit /etc/gdm3/custom.conf
# edit this file
change:
#WaylandEnable=false
to:
WaylandEnable=false
Save the file and quit gedit
. Then reboot.
/swapfile
Let's increase your /swapfile from 2G to 4G...
Note: Incorrect use of the rm
and dd
commands can cause data loss. Suggest copy/paste.
In the terminal
...
sudo swapoff -a # turn off swap
sudo rm -i /swapfile # remove old /swapfile
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1M count=4096
sudo chmod 600 /swapfile # set proper file protections
sudo mkswap /swapfile # init /swapfile
sudo swapon /swapfile # turn on swap
free -h # confirm 4G RAM and 4G swap
Edit /etc/fstab, using sudo -H gedit /etc/fstab
or sudo pico /etc/fstab
.
Confirm this /swapfile line in /etc/fstab... and confirm no other “swap” lines... use SPACES in this line... confirm NO TABS...
/swapfile none swap sw 0 0
reboot # reboot and verify operation
Update #1:
GRUB
To make GRUB remember your last selected boot OS, edit /etc/default/grub and edit/add these lines...
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true
then do sudo update-grub
.
