My pc works fine. I can boot it up properly but it always decides to get stuck on a purple screen for around 15secs. After this text "ubuntu" with the dots come up in a low-ish quality and then I can finally log in and do what I want.






boot

          Your computer is booting Ubuntu during those 15 seconds. You can see a detailed log of what was happening during boot by viewing the file /var/log/syslog

            Each line should contain a timestamp which gives you a view of what things were happening during boot. You can also look to see if anything is blocking the boot process like a network timeout or waiting on a piece of hardware. If you're not running an SSD a boot time of 15 seconds seems very reasonable. Before boot you can also hold down Shift and press E to modify the boot command in Grub removing the "quiet splash" options which will show you while booting exactly what is happening instead of showing the splash screen.

          One-line joke

          A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala...
