No matter which soft I use I can't seem to force slower speeds, it always burns at 10 to 12 speed. I tried cdrecord, gnomebaker (speeds are not grayed out, I can choose whatever I want but it always burns at max speed). It's a SATA burner in a portable.

I when I burn a dvdrw with K3B, it remains at 1x speed even tough I chose the maximum speed in the dialog(don't know whether this is also the case with dvd-r or cdr since i don't have any with me at the moment). So, I guess there is something wrong. I read that it could have something to do with DMA, Or could it be something else?

I have enabled the xhci_hcd module, but my usb 3.0 hard disk is still only being recognised at "480MB/s" connection speeds (with benchmarks confirming it is definitely running at usb 2.0 speeds.
The usb 3 controller is the NEC chip everyone seems to be using. The devices is a Seagate free-agent go (something like that anyway) with the usb 3 adapter.
lsusb takes a good couple of minutes to run, and doesn't mention the NEC controller at all, lspci does list it, and devices plugged into it work, but only at usb 2 speeds as mentioned.

I can't get Gkrellm to show my fan speeds anymore since reinstalling Ubuntu.I have tried 9.10 and 10.04 and tried installing packages to maybe get the drop down to show up for fan speed but still nothing.I have installed Xsensors and that shows fan speeds correctly but I want to show them in Gkrellm like I used to have. Now every other temp gauge is working like it used to but the fan speed monitor.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am using Ubuntu 10.04 and my internet works fine except for my download speeds. In Windows, downloading the same file, it downloads at around 200kb/s but in Ubuntu, it hovers around 20kb/s and never tops 50kb/s. Any idea how I can fix this because I really don't want to go back to Windows but I may have to.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am new to Linux and have recently dropped Windows 7 (and windows all together for that matter) for Ubuntu 10.04.I love the look and feel of Linux and enjoy using it more over Windows. Despite this I am experiencing a serious problem which may cause me to revert back to Windows 7.I have a USB 3G modem: ZTE MF622 on the KKTCELL network.I have got this modem to work with wvdial and Gnome PPP, however i cannot get speeds over 60kb, Windows gives me well over 200kb.
I have tried a number of things but nothing has worked, it seems that no-one has posted a solution to this annoying conundrum.
I'm currently downloading some files using wget. According to wget, the download speed is 40-45K/s. But according to the System Monitor, I'm downloading at a rate of 80-100KiB/s. What can explain this contradiction in download speeds? I'm not downloading updates or anything like that: wget, so far as I can tell, is the only downloading.

View 1 Replies View RelatedUnfortunately my ubuntu installation wakes 31 seconds to get to the boot screen, almost identical to my windows 7 partition. I've already configured grub to my needs, so reducing the counter has already been done, but I have no idea what else to do for my boot speeds when it comes to ubuntu. If anything I can live with these times, but it would be very nice to have it boot at lightning speeds I may even buy a SSD when I get the money.
View 2 Replies View RelatedRecently I upgraded to 11.04 and I noticed the start up speed is much slower than when it was at version 10.
Back when I was running version 10 (10.04 and 10.10) I was running Ubuntu under Windows using wubi and my start up speed was about 9 seconds.
I no longer use Windows and have removed it, and now my boot speed is somewhere between 30 to 45 seconds.
Is this normal for a native Ubuntu installation? Or is 11.04 still buggy?
Hey guys, I got a new laptop, so I installed ubuntu 11 on my old laptop. And I have noticed the download speeds have been extremely slow.I have only been getting speeds around 20-60 kbs/sec before I installed ubuntu when it was running windows 7, I was getting around 100-300 kbs/sec. I know its not my internet, because my new laptop runnings windows 7 gets about 250-300.Any suggestions? Its not just in chrome or firefox, its especially slow when downloading packages.

My question is why is this so slow and how do I get my speeds closer to 1000Mb/s?
I tried using my USB to transfer a 500MB file, the speed came up as 1-130 kb/s. That is pathetic. I should be getting more 25MB/s.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have had a fairly perplexing problem with my Lubuntu Maverick installation on my laptop for the past few weeks. My laptop is connected to a DSL-based LAN via 100mbps Ethernet - pretty typical. Usually, the download speed from most websites tends to be around 340-350kb/s. However, its Ethernet connection seems to be having some strange hiccups. The speed starts out at normal ranges, but after about 5-10 minutes of internet use through any means (be it loading normal web pages, streaming video, downloading a file via a browser, or even other uses such as downloading a torrent using Transmission, or even a command line application such as apt, aptitude or wget, etc), the speed suddenly drops to around 40kb/s and will not raise again.
Once this happens, the drop is seen across the board. Again, once it happens, the speed of everything that accesses the internet is affected. Web pages load slowly, all downloads will only operate at a maximum of 40kb/s, whether it is from any browser, or wget in a terminal. The speed stayed slow until I restarted, which would give me another 5-10 minutes. My troubleshooting attempts yielded some very strange results, which I will relate here:.......
On my machine I currently have 2 internal HD's - sata 3 & running in ahci mode. The bios confirms that they are running at 6G/s. For typical every day use, running apps & such, all seems fine & the machine seems speedy. But when I go to transfer large folders, (20G+) I'm only seeing 70M/s top speed, with 20 to 40 being the norm. (Shoot, I got 20M/s transferring to a usb 2.0 drive.) It doesn't matter if this is from partition to partition on the same drive (A or B) or between drives, or the direction.
So my question is, shouldn't this be giving a LOT faster speeds? Even if the drives ARE at the low end of the speed chart, per say? (WD CAVIAR BLUE 500G & 250G 7200RPM) This also doesn't matter what OS's I'm using either. Also, what ARE the the real world speeds on this? What are YOU ALL getting?
I've got a few things I need sorted out with my openSUSE installation:
1- I've read all the tutorials, done all the walkthroughs. How do I install APT, Synaptic & gdebi? To get Synaptic & gdebi, I need APT & everything tells me it's in the repos if I search for it. Nothing. How do I install it?
2- Is it possible to have my trackpad & cord mouse going at different speeds? My cord mouse is fine speed, but my trackpad is lightning fast & hard to control.
3- I have a secondary monitor.
4- Banshee doesn't play anything. It's a similiar situation to APT, but I still can't find anything. I've resorted to using Songbird (which I'm fine with), but it's podcast support is REALLY shotty.
5- Has anyone figured out how to manage an iPod Nano 5th gen yet? I'm pretty sure the answer is no, but... maybe...
6- Am I able to replace my HOME folder with an external hard drive? So that when I download something it goes to the hard drive, rather than the downloads folder.
Is there any way to tweak the torrent download speeds in ubuntu? i remember doing lots of things in utorrent when i was using windows. Like increasing max half open connections!! is there any equivalent settings for ubuntu? I am using qbittorrent as a torrent client.

I'm experiencing overheating problems, after just 15-20 minutes of minimal use (surfing the internet, not even watching flash vids or any other vids). The same laptop under Windows 7 64 bit stayed really cool.
I've read several posts here and followed this manual: [URL] to try to control the fans (I only installed the lm-sensors and ran the sensors command, I didn't do anything beyond that). Specifically what I did was install lm-sensors (via apt-get), ran sensors-detect which advised me to add the coretemp module to /etc/modules, which I did.
However when running sensors the only information I get is the overall temperature and the temperature of each of the cores.
why I'm not getting fan speed info when running sensors? Also is there a way to find out if more modules needs to be added to /etc/modules?
I just bought a 1Tb hdd and reformatted to FAT32 it is connected via eSATA to SATA cable.At first I transfered music that initially was getting speeds over 100mb/s (according to nautilus) after about a minute it started to dwindle.

if the kernel changes then you will have to do this again. if you don't want that hassel and don't mind staying on your current kernel then lock it in the package manager.
Whenever a client tries to download a file from my server via ftp, SAMBA, Teamspeak 3 File Transfer, etc., they report very slow download speeds, around 3-6 kb/s. If I try a ftp file transfer locally, the upload speeds are normal, but I still experience slow download speeds.
My server is connected to a router, which connects to the internet. All other machines connected to that router can upload and download files at normal speeds. It seems to be a server problem, I just don't know where to start.

Computer: AMD 64 Quad core, USB 2.0 on front bus, dual booting Vista and Ubuntu 10.10
Device: New Sansa Clip+ 8GB mp3 player
Problem: When I transfer files to my mp3 player in Ubuntu, I max out at about 150 KiBbps. It's painfully slow - it takes me half an hour to transfer 300 MB worth of albums. I had similar problems with an older player that may have been usb 1.1, but this one is brand new. And when I switched to Vista (first time in months, thankfully), I was able to transfer the same files at upwards of 3 MBps. I know that flash devices often can't write anywhere near the max speed of USB 2.0, but obviously it can do a whole lot better then 150 KiBps!So, same hardware, same files, different OS - the problem must be with my Ubuntu config.
