When I use (and it's getting annoying) the search kibitz feature and I type a word, I get a box with different words from past searches, but now the box does not disappear unless I right click on my mouse to make it go away.

@#$%* sucks!

  WannaBe: Personal Log:

To do dual boot with Win10 and Ubuntu 16.06, change bios/boot to UEFI, install Windows first. (Access to bios will vary, depending on manufacturer)

During install, partition single physical disk to two logical partitions, if two physical disks just select one.

Make sure Win10 is updated with latest feature and security patches.

Insert Ubuntu install disk, enter bios, select UEFI CD/DVD boot

Follow instruction on screen, install Ubuntu. Voila, dual boot. =))

Ubuntu grub menu, to boot to text mode, press e to edit selection on root=xxxxxxxxx line, remove quite splash replace with 3

This will boot to level 3 (text mode)

  WannaBe: After do-release-upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04, there were conflicts with network driver (Intel model), and also Nvidia + lightdm package disagreement.

(No GUI, and terminal can't come up!)

After a few hours all issues resolved. Sometimes I really hate Linux.
