following blank installation of both ubuntu 16.10 , 16.04 on asus 1215n i'm experiencing problems bios quiet boot functionality. quiet boot feature builtin in laptop prevents post output displayed before bootstrap , shortening boot time little bit. after installing each operating systems (no dual boot, reverted 16.04 due , other problems) feature doesn't work anymore: on each reboot post logs. happens in particular conditions (like power outage) , makes me think ubuntu shutdown doesn't ends correctly. i used have ubuntu 16.04 installed in dual boot windows 7 , microsoft mbr on sector 0 (grub installed on ubuntu partition) , there no problem. computer is efi has old stile bios (not uefi). tried google no luck. any ideas?

based on answer i can't set background image on gnome terminal 3.14 have given trying set background on gnome terminal. in link (or maybe in link link) mentioned xfce-terminal allow background image. package can find in ubuntu 16.04 repos xfce4-terminal doesn't seem allow either. is there terminal out there let me set background image runs in gnome on ubuntu 16.04 or need switch desktop environments completely? you can always run of terminal emulators in of desktop environments, there's no need switch desktop that. e.g. can run konsole (kde's terminal emultor) under gnome desktop, or gnome-terminal under kde, etc. newer gnome-terminal version have indeed removed support background image. notable terminal emulators use same terminal emulation widget gnome-terminal (namely vte , preferably gtk+-3 based version rather old unmaintained , quite buggy gtk+-2 based one) , support background image terminix xfce4-terminal version 0.8, both easy compile...

when boot linux server, have run following things manually: start our mc server single command line start telegram bot single command line start dns update client single command line (login harddrive) what approach automate process? i've seen "minecraft startup scrips", contain lot of lines of code absolutely unnecessary in case. use own slim server-manager can run simple command. the goal is, boot server , gets done automatically, after logged in user (i'm user on system). simply go start applications , , add new entry, name wish , write following in command box: gnome-terminal -e "command" *instead of gnome-terminal can use whichever terminal like. substitute command of commands, easier 1 command per entry.
