That's surprising to me. You'd start a computer in order to put it to sleep? How bizarre! :-) But I guess if it's old and slow, which is in part Lubuntu's target... You also mention OS X. I often want to sleep or shut down OS X from the lock screen, when I have a session open. Not beforehand. Is there a way to do that? I don't know of one. Aside: for people struggling with very old or slow machines, I have a possible tip. I recently bought an old Sony Vaio P, which is a sub-netbook: i.e. even smaller than a netbook. It has an unusual half-depth form-factor, an Atom with hyperthreading and is maxed out with 2 GB of RAM. I tried it with Xubuntu, which IME is similar in resource usage to Lubuntu but rather more customisable. It was still very slow. So last weekend I reformatted with Devuan, which is a fairly new fork of Debian with the big systemd init daemon removed. It's now considerably faster and much more usable. It might be worth a look now that Lubuntu is going 64-bit only. -- Liam Proven - Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk - Google Mail/Hangouts/Plus: lpro...@gmail.com Twitter/Facebook/Flickr: lproven - Skype/LinkedIn: liamproven UK: +44 7939-087884 - ČR (+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal): +420 702 829 053 -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
