    How do I auto-run a script when I change User?

    I don't understand how that offers help. p.s. https://checkyourfact.com/2019/11/07/fact-check-albert-einstein-difference-stupidity-genius-limits/

    Discontent with Linux.

    I have to agree, having wasted several weeks trying to figure out why I could not see an external screen on a Ryzen 5-4500 laptop with Ubuntu or Mint. It turned out to be the old-Kernel version (5.4xxx) those Distros were using. I finally figured it out when in desperation, I manually installed...

    How do I auto-run a script when I change User?

    Mint 20.04, Ryzen 5-4500: Hi, I am developing (Lazarus-FPC) some bespoke internal+external email-software for my Son's business and I need to isolate it from the Internet while testing. I have created a Standard-User "Test" to work there and I need it to crash at "no Internet" to handle errors...

    Kernel 5.9.1 slow switching TTY users

    Thanks, but it changed at 5.8.9, 5.8.10, 5.8.11 all the way up to 5.8.17, then 5.9.0 and 5.9.1 when they were released and **all** of them have the slow switching. I see there is a 5.9.2. I will install that and see, or just stay with 5.8.9 and any/all security warts. Yes, Mint is compiled...

    Kernel 5.9.1 slow switching TTY users

    OK, wrote a rough and dirty program to filter out all the "amdgpu" lines into a separate file for each kernel. Attached. What other files should I do for you and what besides "amdgpu?" 5.5.8-syslog fast switching 5.9.0-syslog slow switching

    Kernel 5.9.1 slow switching TTY users

    Thanks again. I just learned how to set 5.8.8 as the default Kernel to boot. A bit messy, but works. The problem with 5.8.8 -- I can't update it as the next update is 5.8.9 and that has the slow switching as does everything that follows. So whatever is doing it, it started with 5.8.9. I had...

    Kernel 5.9.1 slow switching TTY users

    OK, did that and as far as I can tell File-Compare on the 2 "dmesg" were the same. The amdgpu and Renior verisions matched, memory allocation matched as did pretty much everything else. Is there any great security risk by staying with 5.8.8? The last of the fast switching. I am off to put...

    Kernel 5.9.1 slow switching TTY users

    Thanks, that is taken care of by the Mint Update/Upgrade as it ignores all Kernels except for the 5.4.xx version that Ubuntu maintains. I regularly download the latest batch of Kernel .deb files and manually install them. :D thanks also, but that's why I am here. I am out of my depth messing...

    Kernel 5.9.1 slow switching TTY users

    Umm, don't mean to be rude, but did you read the OP? I am OK with installing the .deb files and have been doing so since 5.6.xxx IF I roll back to 5.8.8 or ANYTHING earlier as far back as 5.6.xx it switches fast. Everything since 5.8.8 is taking 3+ seconds per switch -- up to and INCLUDING...

    Kernel 5.9.1 slow switching TTY users

    Linux Mint 20.0.4, Lenovo Flex 5, Ryzen 5 4500, 16GB, 512GB-SSD -- always up to date I have to use a Kernel later than Ubuntu/Mint maintained stock 5.4.xx as it would not recognize external monitors with the Ryzen CPU. Starting with Kernel 5.6.xx it all worked fine so I kept updating to the...
