Whenever I reboot, I have three things I have to reset. Dropbox, my mouse, and Google Chrome.
1) For Dropbox, before the indicator shows up in the panel, I get a popup saying I need to install the Dropbox Daemon. I accomplish this by either following their prompts or opening a terminal and typing in "dropbox start -i".
2) For my mouse, I'll notice after a reboot that it won't move as it would before my reboot. Then when I go to the Mouse and Touchpad settings, sure enough, the mouse is reset to Generic USB. And I have to select my actual mouse, which is a Microsoft 3 button with IntelliEye.
3) For Google Chrome, I heard about the setting for it to be one's default browser wasn't working via the following video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=defIOXTElHU. Fifteen minutes into his video he shows how to overcome this. I follow those instructions, but everytime I open Chrome, I'm still asked to set it as my default.
I have included my System Report as an attachment for the benefit of anyone who can add some help on these items.
I am committed to using Linux Lite. It is my daily driver now.
I heard Linus Torvalds say although Linux dominates in mobile phones and servers, he thinks the reason it lags in desktop is because most people don't want to install an operating system. I can do it, and I'm helping others who complain about their PCs make the switch to Linux Lite. I can see the above issues causing a thorn in their side, though, and I'd just like to be on the front end of those potential turn offs. I'm also noticing the Switch Users and Log Out options lead me to a black screen. Not just on my hardware, but in virtual machines. Suspend won't stay suspended, and Hibernate won't wake up. For the record, I have seen that Hibernate issue with other Ubuntu 14.04 based distros. Since Linux makes my reboots snappier than a Windows reboot on the same hardware, I tend to live in the Shutdown and Restart world and I avoid Suspend and Hibernate and Log Out. But again, I can see those things trying the patience of folks I'm introducing to Linux Lite.
