I'm installing (X/Lubuntu) on a machine with only 448 mb RAM and a 2GHz processor. I'd definitively prefer Xubuntu, but if it'll be very sluggish I'll go for Lubuntu, because it is important that the machine runs at a decent speed. So which should I go for? Is 448 mb RAM enough for Xubuntu?
View 9 RepliesI can't figure out why but my processor is running at 100% on all four cores, and the fan is running at max speed. All I did was double click an a.out file created by g++, and it is running at full speed now.

I'm know very little about Linux but decided to set up a machine running Drupal CMS on a Debian machine and it won't go. The folks at Drupal have tried to help but it seems the Debian OS won't do it's PHP thing for Drupal.
That means i'll have to start at the START I guess.

I just installed Ubuntu 9.10, replacing Windows 7.
its running a little slower than I hoped it would, loading movies takes a while, and when i switch to full screen, it takes about 5 seconds to catch up.
im suspicious that my video card driver might not be configured correctly. can anyone tell me what I might need to configure to get things running smoother?
other things on the computer are also running slow, like opening Firefox, it takes a while for the window to appear.

I am running Ubuntu 11.04 off of an 8GB flash drive. I have no hard disks but I do have a 3.2 GHz Pentium 4 with Hyperthreading and 1 GB of RAM. So, it shouldn't be my system that is causing it to run slow, but rather limitations of the USB (I'm pretty sure it's USB 2.0). Is there anything I can do, unnecessary processes I can kill, etc. to make it run faster?
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen the summer-holidays are a fact and it's time for some fun I will be upgrading my home network with a diskstation of some kind, and since all models I currently looks at supports 10/100/1000 M/Bit networking it got me thinking.
My desktop also supports 10/100/1000 M/Bit networking and since I already uses a 10/100 M/Bit switch between my desktop and (file)server, it would be very easy to buy a new switch that also supports 1000 M/Bit networking and then connect the diskstation to that switch as well. But the router the new switch will be connected to is only running 10/100 M/Bit so the question is, at what speed will the new switch be running?
I recently installed F12 on my main notebook and ever since the fan has been running at full speed (or near full speed). According to the 'sensors' command I usually have temperatures between 50-70. I didn't have this problem before the installation.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm running a XFX Nvidia GTS 250 512MB card. I have installed Ubuntu 10.04 and so far I'm loving it - apart from one small issue. Using 195.36.24 drivers, I cannot control the fan speed - it keeps running the card pretty hot - hitting 75 deg. C when one OpenGL game is running. The fan barely goes over 60% speed - I'd rather have it run at 80% constantly to keep the temps under control.
There are drivers on nvidia website which "seem" to be a lot newer : 256.35 (using 64bit Linux) - are those "direct replacement" for the 195.36 which Ubuntu installs by default?
I have a well ventilated case (1x120mm pulling air, 1x120mm pushing out, neat cabling, etc). I have found nvclock but no joy - even with -force it doesn't want to change fan speed.
I often run my ubuntu as SSH server only so i stop GDM when i do that, but i found out that after i stop gnome, my ATI gpu fans spins up like crazy and sounds like a jet plane, (i have ati closed source driver installed) i am worried to leave the fan on like that, so i have to start a X session again. Then the fan slows down I would like to be able to have slow fan speed when i drop to text mode only, one is its light weight, two is for security
View 3 Replies View RelatedOn an old laptop I needed some package (pdftk) from 11.3 and so I upgraded. But I cannot get the graphics running at a reasonable speed now. This old laptop has a Radeon RV350 (mobility Radeon 9600 M10) as shown by lspci. The current ATI closed source drivers don't support this card any more but the legacy driver doesn't support the 2.6.34.7-0.4-default kernel anymore.
Using the open source xf86-video-ati driver gives me an unacceptable alternative:
Without a kernel boot parameter it's dead slow, glxgears shows only 200 frames/sec and my Opengl application (see below) is just unusable with this setting.
Adding the 'nomodeset' kernel parameter make the graphics much faster - glxgears reports 1800 frames/sec - BUT now my Opengl application freezes the machine (only a power cycle can revive it). I'm using the Python/OpenGL application "Impressive" to present pdf files.
I'm fairly new to fedora. I used Fedora 14 on a virtual machine just to mess around with it a little while back but thats about it. As far as linux goes, I just test a bunch but can never seem to pull myself away from windows. I am hoping this is the time but these issues are the weirdest I've seen on any linux distro ever. My GPU (Radeon 5750) is running at 69C idle and the fan is at full speed. I am not overclocking it at all and I'm using the default drivers that came with fedora. It works just fine in windows and a lot cooler. How can I fix this?
I'm running the Gnome 3 desktop version, which I am also getting some graphics artifacts. In the bottom bar I get a dashed white line that comes up every time I boot and goes away when I make the bar expand. Also in the applications window I get the same dashed line at the top of the window and sometimes the top of the scroll bar. So far I really like Gnome 3 (Idk why everyone is whining about it) and I'd like to stick with Fedora, and linux for that matter
I am looking for a Ubuntu program to take the place of the windows application WinSCP. What I am looking for is the following:
1) Able to handle FTP and SSH (SFTP)
2) Able to have an explore view for the remote file system. (Directory Structure on left, files on right, and no local files).
3) Able to edit files and auto update them on saving the file (not on closing gedit).
4) Able to edit files without being prompted every time an edit is saved/uploaded.
5) Works reasonably well on slow connections.
So far I have tried sshfs, gftp, and filezilla.
sshfs satisfies (1-4) but becomes unbearable on slow connections, but works great over a local network. gftp satisfies 1, and 5. filezilla satisfies 1, 3, 5. If anyone out there knows a program which satisfies all 5 of my requirements or knows hows to configure the stated programs into meeting my requirements I can live without requirement #2 if the other 4 are met.

I recently got my laptop setup as an Ubuntu machine, but if I just leave it running, after a while I'll look over and see that it has shut down.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am currently interested in switching from vim to emacs.One of the more compelling reasons for this is the smooth integration with a unix environment. The most experienced emacs users I have seen have a bash prompt at the bottom of their window, with stdout going to a buffer right above it. They then interact with the output of programs such as grep in interesting ways.I am on Ubuntu 10.04 and the default emacs environment does not seem to do much for me in the way of integration. For example, in the M-x shell mode, output from basic commands like ls produce lots of strange characters and hitting the up arrow does not go to previous commands.

My goal is to have a place where both Ubuntu and Windows can read and write. What software is good for this task? Are their free programs that can run virtual machines?

I'm currently running 32 bit Ubuntu 10.10 on my laptop. Apparently, my computer can support 64bit OS. My / and /home partitions are separated and exist on different physical hard drives.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've assembled a new computer to replace a dead Xp/Debian dual boot machine. I have been persuaded to go for Ubuntu as a Linux-only box, running Win7 as a virtual machine. I had some help setting it up with two discs in a Raid1 array, and it works pretty well. One of those discs is, I notice, set up as bootable.
But.... it is causing a major headache in respect of USB when emulating windows. I cannot use devices such as my USB printer at present, and I have an urgent task which requires printing capability and Windows. I have spent time trying to sort the USB problem without success and have decided to take an alternative route for the present.
I have purchased two extra discs which are not included in the Raid array, with the intention of using one of them for a Win7 installation, making the machine dual-boot for now. Eventually the intention is to revert to Linux only with a 4-disc Raid.
And don't know how to proceed. I formatted one of the new discs to NTFS using Ubuntu's Disc Utility, and tried to install Win7 on that disc. I get a warning that Windows cannot find a suitable disc on which to install. I've tried with XP as well, and this copies all its files before proudly announcing that there is no suitable disc space on this machine. Two new 1Tb discs and no space!
I can't connect a printer to my machine that's running Ubuntu 10.04 because it's outdated; however, I have another computer (Mac) that has a printer attached to it.

View 5 Replies View RelatedMy friends and I are into freerunning/parkour (look it up if you don't know it : D) and we like to make videos sometimes. Slow motion is a MUST.
The problem is, I haven't been able to find any good video editors for linux. I've just been using windows movie maker when it comes to editing, but I haven't been able to find anything on linux that really allows slowmo.
I tried Openshot video editor and LiVES video editor, but they've both been no luck. Open shot allows you to play a clip at half speed. This is fine, except it doesn't adjust the timeline accordingly, so clips get cut off when they're only part of the way through, and I can't seem to adjust the timeline to get it to work. And as far as LiVES, I haven't been able to find the "effects" button, or anything that allows you to do stuff to clips.
