I recently installed Ubuntu Lucid an my Celeron 2.4 Ghz laptop but for some reason I find it slower than Ubuntu Jaunty which is on my Pentium 4 3.00Ghz desktop (especially Gdebi Package Installer. Could this be because of the different processing speeds of the processors, or just Ubuntu 10.04 or because Jaunty has been updated so many times and Lucid is still quite new. It is not just slower, much slower.

I'm trying to keep my desktop without a net connection as up to date as possible. It currently has jaunty installed, but I'd like to upgrade to lucid via dvd, is it possible without going through karmic as an intermediate? I prefer not to waste my DVDs, I'm even passing my lucid disk around to friends after the install.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI had installed Lucid on a clean install on my laptop - three partitions - ext4 home, ext4 lucid and swap.I've been using it for around a week, and find it a bit buggy in places, so I thought I would install jaunty (which proved very reliable in the past). I used the usual installer, and made my /home partition smaller, and created a new ext3 partition for jaunty, assigning the smaller partition to /home.The install proceded without any problems, but on rebooting I just get this:GRUB Loading stage1.5GRUB loading, please wait...Error 18I was hoping that Jaunty would not install grub, but I didn't see any option to prevent this during the installation. I suspect Grub 1.5 has been installed and now it's all messed up

View 2 Replies View RelatedBeen using since summer 2009 the xserver no backfill from PPA: [URL] and it was working fine with my ATI video card. No heavy CPU usage when restoring from minimized and a general performance boost were the results of that use.But recently made an upgrade and realized that xserver-xorg-core package (check it from synaptic manager) has been upgraded to a jaunty-proposed version and the problems started to appear again!So using Synaptic I selected this package and hit CTRL-E key in order to choose the nobackfill version. This way things got back to normal!
View 2 Replies View RelatedNew to Fedora (from Windows), I am up and running ok with packages from the repository but only half ok with Processing, the Java graphics programming front end from processing.org.Their download gave me a .tgz file which Package Manager extracted for me into a location of my choice and where there is now a "processing" shell script.This works ok and I have managed to create a launcher on the desktop. That starts ok but always with processing's default action of giving you a new and automatically named work file.In Windows an existing Processing file (.pde file) could be "opened-with" Processing. Trying to do similar in Fedora I find that I am expected to nominate an Application to open with but Processing has not installed as an application.I guess the question is how do I promote Processing to be an Application?Or is there a different approach?

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.

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator x4500HD

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. Now most files will range somewhere between 8-20mb/s although I've only seen a couple go beyond.i edited hdparm.conf to enable DMAHere is the output of hdparm -Tt for both internal(sda) and external(sdb) hardrives.
Code:
/dev/sda:

I'm finding that the internet speed in Ubuntu 10.04 is over twice as slow as the speeds that I am getting in Windows 7.I've tried disabling IPv6 through Grub and Firefox but it didn't really help much.. anything else I can try?Connecting through wireless at 54 Mbps.

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.
I have read many threads but cannot find a solution on this code...
Now no matter how i transfer if its from HDD to HDD or to SSD i never get more then 18-20MB/sec, i just tried booting to my live CD and was able to transfer with 24-25MB/sec
This is really slow, since the worst (2.0TB) can do a minimum of 30 READ
Anybody got any ideas, this seems to be something that has plagued ubuntu for years, and no i don't want to try other distros, i tried almost all of them a year ago and finally went with ubuntu
I'm using a Netgear WN11v2 wireless USB card, which I've read some people can't even get working with the default Ubuntu wireless driver. It works for me, but it disconnects fairly often, and download speeds are extremely slow, like 12-15 kB/s. I have broadband, and am running Ubuntu 11.04.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm at the end of my rope here. And the most frustrating part is, I've found many posts all over the web from others who have had similar problems, but they ALL seem to be older distros and those solutions don't work for me. "Find Similar Threads" only yields one thread, and I don't have the file mentioned in the answer (the original poster didn't either).
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.
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?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a pretty old Sony lapto where I Installed Ubuntu minimal + xfce on it. So far it has worked great. The only problem is that I cannot update to Karmic. Back when it was released, and after a few days of headaches, I resigned myself to continue using Jaunty and wait for Lucid. However, recently, not being able to update webkit past a certain point (because of glib dependencies) is causing me some issues.
To explain the problem: regardless of boot options, any Karmic live CD will always freeze during boot-up, stating: "error machine check" and "atkbd.c: Spurious ACK on isa0060/serio0. Some program might be trying access hardware directly." Despite what it says, this is NOT a hardware problem, because I can run the computer just fine under Jaunty.
I've tried compiling the latest kernel under Jaunty (to see if I could upgrade this way instead) and no luck, kernel debs or compiles work only as far as 2.6.30, but installing either 2.6.31, 2.6.32 or even the 2.6.33-rc will result in the same kernel panic as with the live CD. I even tried to install a Karmic kernel with backports modules installed without success.
By the looks of it, I won't be able to install Lucid in this machine either, which is frustrating. I've tried reading about the changes made to 2.6.31 to find out why this laptopl can't boot into it,but so far I haven't been able to find anything. A possibility is the ATI Radeon modesetting introduced in this kernel. This computer has an ATI Rage graphic cards. Would the modesetting apply to it too? Maybe this is what causes the kernel panic?
umm a while back ago when i used ubuntu 10.04 it wouldnt let you edit your gui etc unlike jaunty jackalope i was wondering if theyadded any more features from jaunty jackalope lately?

I am running Ubuntu 9.10 on a Dell inspiron 1520 with intel 3945abg wireless card. I am fairly new to linux and just installed it earlier in the day. Everything so far has been easy to setup and get running as well as the networking or so i though...
I can connect to my network and browse we pages just fine. However, when I download a file the speed starts high, drops down to around 50kbps and then works its way back up to around 1.3 mbps before dropping right back down. I tested a file on megaupload and it seems to bounce between 50kbps and 1.5mbps nonstop.
The driver i believe is the iwl3945 if that is the default driver. I have tried disabling ipv6 and that didnt seem to change anything. I've looked around on google and the forums and havent been able to find anything on how to fix this.
I am currently staying on a university campus in Taiwan. Internet on Ubuntu Lucid 64bit here is often painfully slow, except for connections to Taiwanese websites. I dual boot with Windows 7, and there is no problem there. For instance, I downloaded the same piece of software (Spideroak) on both Win and Ubuntu, with Ubuntu I had to try repeatedly as the download would not complete, and in the end it took several hours to download. On W7, it took 10 minutes. What is Windows and Ubuntu doing differently?
I tried disabling ipv6 for this session by running sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1, as a number of posts mention improving connection speed that way, but no effect.
I know that websites from Taiwan are working well, because I am getting my Ubuntu updates from a Taiwanese mirror: updates are fast, except for packages in the 'partner' repos (presumably not loaded from the mirror) which take hours to load, if at all. I don't want to depend on Windows for large downloads... (I don't want to depend on Windows for anything).
