Sorry if this sounds incompetent, but: what do you mean by "persistence"? Does the system crash often?

In general i noticed that Xubuntu 17.x did a lot better than 18. I have XUbuntu installed on my laptop and the suspend-to-RAM worked flawlessly before. Now every second time i have to either use the power button because the session won't come back or it comes back but with deactivated Wifi which can't be reactivated. Suspend-to-disk (aka "hibernate") worked before but doesn't work at all now. Whenever i shutdown the system i get an error message from systemd (this thing i hate with a passion - what was wrong with init?) that it can't stop this job or that job (usually my user sessions). A job running with root privileges should be able to kill user processes IMHO - not wait for indefinite time (well, i think it is indefinite - after 10 minutes at longest my patience was used up and i pressed the power switch).

So, yes, Xubuntu 18 (the "LTS" - i suppose this is a typo for "TLS" and means "tough luck, sonny") is a major PITA. I am considering switching over to Fedora, but i hate desktops in general and GNOME and KDE in particular even more. Xfce is the "least insufferable" IMHO.

I hope this helps. (Sorry, i know, commiserating helps you not one bit but i feel better now. Thanks.)

String Constant C

I wonder string constant exists permanently or temporary. For example, printf("hello, world"); the function printf access to it is through a pointer. Does it mean storage is allocated for the string constant to exist permanently in memory? :confused:

NAME

       xfce4-power-manager-settings - Settings dialog for the Xfce 4 Power manager

SYNOPSIS

       xfce4-power-manager-settings [options]

DESCRIPTION

       xfce4-power-manager-settings  is  a  utility  that comes with the Xfce4 power manager to access/change its configuration.  It is a separate
       program that uses xfconf to load/save settings according to the user's choices.	xfce4-power-manager-settings requires the Xfce4 power man-
       ager  to  be  running  because it connects to it via DBus and gets information about which settings should and should not be displayed; for
       example,  the xfce4-power-manager-settings utility will not show the LCD brightness settings if no  device  was	detected  by  the  running
       instance of the Xfce4 power manager.
	xfce4-power-manager-settings does not have any command line options.

BUGS
