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?

I 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 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.

When 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'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 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

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have an older PC running Ubuntu 10.04, and the system is slow, especially with Firefox running. I recently upgraded to 2 gig memory, but it didn't help. I have plenty of space on my hard-drive, using only 30 gig of 80 gig. My CPU is Intel Celeron 2.40GHz. I have broadband, and the speed seems good. What are the system requirements for Ubuntu 10.04? Any tips for speeding performance, esp on Firefox? I used to do a defrag when I had Windows; is there any need to do that on Ubuntu also?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm running Kubuntu 10.4, and I'm having a really slow Internet connection, with Windows everything works fine.
When I upload a file to an internal Ubuntu server the speed is ok ~15MB/s.
The problem is only with Internet Firefox / synaptic, any program using Internet. Last download done with synaptic display 18KB/s when normally it should be 500.
I have this new flatmate who uses all my Internet data up before the end of my monthly clockover. Instead of having to buy heaps of data top-ups at the end of the month, is there a way I can limit the speed of his computer through the network? I have tried looking through my router settings (which is a Thomson router) but there doesn't seem to be any options in regards to limiting activity of a system on the network.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am upgrading my (as I call it) archive server. It is server used for archiving anything from user files, to images, backup data etc. lots of files of different sizes. It has 8 WD320RE disks in RAID5 for total little above 2T space. Disks were working perfectly good for 4 years. I will be replacing them with 8 WD2000RE disks in RAID-5, somewhere around 12T of usable space. I am currently using RaiserFS as file system, because it was hip at the time and as turned out once, when I had to copy data to other disk, is about 20% more efficient than ext3. I can save about 20% more data on Raiser. My question is. What file system do you suggest for using with new configuration considering that space is more valuable than speed.
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy system decided to crash on me, hard. It was humming along happily for about 2 months and now doesn't boot. If I boot from hard-disk, I get grub. Launching the first kernel choice hangs. I thought maybe the install was corrupt, so I booted from usb install disk. The usb hdd didn't boot; something about an error trying to access /dev/sda . Unplugging the internal disk and plugging in the usb install disk does result in the system booting. Plugging in the internal disk in a running system usb-booted system does not result in the system detecting the disk.
How do I know if the disk is physically broken? This seems unlikely since it does manage to launch grub consistently. Or is this still possible? How can I try to mount whatever is left? The usb install disk doesn't even list the /dev/sd*. Any pointers on how to reformat the drive if it's not being mounted?
I have Fedora 13 installed on my laptop. For some reason it always seems to run at 1GHz even though the maximum is 1.67GHz (even under 100% load).
The output of cpufreq-info code...
I tried changing the limits by setting cpufreq-set -r -g userspace -c 0 -d 1000MHz -u 1670MHz but the output it still identical (in particular "frequency should be within 1000 MHz and 1000 MHz").
Any ideas how to change the limits?
I am an absolutely beginner with Linux (ubuntu). I got fed up with widows and decided it was time to go. I installed (clean install from a cd) ubuntu 10.04 on my desktop. It is an hp compaq d220 MT.It looks good and feels good, well at least for a while since it keeps crashing. The screen starts to flicker, goes black, and the only way to get it up and running again is to press the on/off button until the system powers off and restart.

But when I get on this side, it goes back to the dial-up days (yes I said the DU word). yum updates seem to be just fine, and e-mail seems to be fine. just firefox is slow. And now that I put the x64 Flash in (thanks to leigh123linux), with that working too it seems even a little slower again.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI upgraded from FC12 to FC14 and now the system/case fan blows full speed constantly. I also moved from i386-PAE to am64.
The CPUs are cool, the machine is basically idle, and the fan noise is really annoying (and blowing cool air).
In FC12 the fan would auto-adjust with CPU load. This is not the case now.
I ran sensors-detect and it doesn't seem to find my fans:
[root@pangea modprobe.d]# sensors
acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1: +40.0C (crit = +75.0�C)
k8temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
code....
I don't remember ever having to even run sensors-detect in FC12. I searched the board for a bit and didn't see any solutions. I'll attach the full output from sensors-detect.
I just did do a search on this subject but couldn't really find what I was looking for.At the moment I have a perfectly running system and I would like to make a copy / back-up from that so in case somethings happens I can always place it back as if nothings happened.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI currently have an Ubuntu Server setup with a CF card that has / and /boot on their own partitions. I also have a single 1TB drive that is dedicated to the /home partition, however it's a drive that I have run out of space on.
I just purchased a 1.5TB drive to throw in the server, but I am not sure how to set this drive up so that it's seamlessly integrated with the 1TB drive. I would like it setup so that my /home partition is expanded from 1Tb to 2.5TB. I know what I am explaining is similar to raid 0, of which I am not opposed to, except that everything I have searched for online solely explains a raid setup during installation, and I don't have the time (due to school) to reinstall and reconfigure my system.
So in a nutshell, is there a way to setup raid 0 without doing a re-install or is there a way to setup 'fstab' to accomadate my request?
Good day, installed ubuntu 10.04 64bit yesterday on my laptop just to test everything before the release at the end of the month. However I took a look at my System Monitor and my second CPU(2) is constantly running at 100%, however theirs no apparent processes to cause this.

So I'm trying to run my S-Video cord from my HP Desktop to my television screen. Everything was set up, then I looked up how to get it to start playing on forums here. I went to my NVIDIA, and when I went to change what apparently had to be changed, it was already set up in the format I was supposed to set it up as. I hit "save", and then restarted my computer, as the step-by-step instructions said. Upon restarting, I got an interesting message saying that Ubuntu had to be run in low graphics mode. I don't know the logistics of my computer, or really anything (it was given to me, and I don't know how to check ) I've been reading some things here, and a few things sounded like what was wrong with me, but when I followed the directions, it got me no where. I'm coming to you to prevent me from chucking this thing out my window .
So, what I'm asking from you:
1)How do I get out of Low Graphic Mode
2)How do I set up my NVIDIA to play to my TV?
