I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04, and Iv been using the ATI/AMD propitairy driver FGLRX and it worked fine inn 9.10.But now, the Bootsplash is ugly, and it takes ages for the OS to load, I didn't have this problem with 9.10.I try to remove it, but it chucks out an error stating a package doesn't exist.
View 1 RepliesOn Lucid, using the nVidia proprietary drivers, the panel takes about 15-20 seconds to load after loging in. Everything else works fine, I can use my desktop shortcuts and open other programs, just the panel leaves an empty space at the top and bottom, until it loads.
I don't have this problem on a laptop with Intel graphics running Lucid, nor when using Nouveau drivers on this computer. I read somewhere that it could be due to gdmsetup not having it's config file, but even after trying the suggested workaround (opening gdmconfig and changing settings so the config file is made) the problem persists. If I run "killall gnome-panel" the panel disappears (not surprisingly) and then briefly pops back up before disappearing again for about 10 seconds.
Could this be something to do with Compiz? With the Nouveau drivers Compiz is disabled, so Compiz is the only thing I can think of that affects the panel differently between the two graphics drivers.
I am running Kubuntu 10.04 LTS and have had no problems with my ATI card up to kernel 2.6.32-29. Upon update/upgrade to 2.6.32-30 the FGLRX driver will not load graphics and I can only get the text system login. If I reboot to -29 everything works great.

I just received a 7 MB daily and it took about 3 minutes (!) until it completed the saving process.to be clear, the problem isn't downloading the email with the attachment from the mailserver. the problem exists AFTER the email has been downloaded from the server to my evolution inbox and I try to use the "save as..." option.it almost looks like evolution is trying to "download" the file from my local harddrive to my local harddrive (yes, this sentence is correct), and it's doing that at extremely low speed.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have just 4 minor things with Ubuntu 10.04 (64-bit)
1) Sometimes the disk checker runs at startup. Why does it take so long to finish? On the previous version of Ubuntu, it was a quick check, but now on version 10.04 it takes AGES just to check the disk!
2) Why do some programs like Kega Fusion only play sound if you run it on its own with no other programs open? Try the Linux version of Kega Fusion with and without other programs open: [URL]
3) Who do I ask if I would like a hardware device supported? I have a SIM card reader (Veho VSD-229) and I can only use it in Windows to back up my SIM card contacts.

So basicly I just installed Ubuntu 11.04 and I am experiencing something I always experience when I install Ubuntu. I will be using a window and then when I switch to another window it will randomly crash and it takes me ages to be able to close it down, sometimes I can never close the window down. This has stopped me from being able to use any version of Ubuntu on my computer which is disappointing because I really love Ubuntu.
I have no idea how to fix this issue at all, I have downloaded drivers for Linux from the Nvidia website but I get a window saying it cant be opened, and no surprise after many efforts I can't even close that window. Its a .run file so I don't know if I have to run it via terminal? I am fed up of not being able to use Ubuntu because these windows freezing is making it unbearable to use.
I really am a great fan of Songbird, but there's one thing that keeps annoying me: searching my music collection. I have about 12k songs (67GB) in my library, and using the search bar is pretty much a disaster: whatever I type it takes ages to come up with something, and if I delete any of the written to enter something new it hangs for like five minutes. This sort of forced me to look for specific songs myself or just keep it going on shuffle, none of which is a good solution.
I believe the problem is that songbird searches after every single typed character instead of waiting until I'm finished, which is a cool feature with smaller amounts of data to look through, but in my case it's just annoying and pointless. How to disable this feature? I am using Songbird 1.2.0, Build 1146.
when I am pressing the shut down button inside kde I receive this nice black screen with the green status messages indicating what was done successfuly.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am running Centos 5.3. I ran no updates, performed no installs, nor changed any configuration immediately prior to this issue. My problem is this: when I run the command startx (default runlevel 3), it is a long time (5-10 minutes) before Gnome startx, and once it does start applications will not run. Also, when I try to use sudo (from any environment, even ssh), it is a long time (5-10) before the command is executed.
I cannot say for sure, but it seems like this is an intermittent problem. Sometimes X takes a long time to start, but once it starts it will launch programs. Sometimes X takes a long time to launch, but once it starts it will only launch certain programs. Though presently X always takes a long time to start, and I cannot successfully launch any programs.
A while back a had a similar problem to this (x taking long time to start, sudo taking long time to execute) and it ended up being a DNS problem. Unfortunately, I cannot remember exactly what it was and I stupidly did not document it. Maybe this is also DNS related, I don't know.
I don't know what log files to look at for problems with X, Gnome, and sudo taking a long time to start.
I need to use FGLRX on my laptop, if I don't, either some OpenGL apps don't load, or the performance is poor.. With FGLRX the performance of the app is great and all work..
However, since Ubuntu 10.10, FGLRX no longer has "smooth" video.. And what I mean by that, even a simple DVD is dropping like 50% of it's frames every second with FGLRX. However, if I use the open source ATI driver, there is no video performance problem and even HD video plays fine, but then GL apps become a problem again..
In Ubuntu 10.04 FGLRX didn't have this problem. I did try to upgrade to the latest FGLRX 10.12, and every time I try on Ubuntu 10.10, I result with X not starting at all..
Here's the kicker though, the built in Movie Player with Ubuntu, works fine no matter which driver is used.. Now this wouldn't be an issue for me, but DVD's don't play right in that player, it runs like it's vibrating, but all other video formats work fine..
I'm at a loss. I gave up Linux a few months ago and wanted to try again, but once again, ATI is letting me down, and this is a laptop, buying a new laptop just because of the GPU is out of the question.
Title describes the problem rather well. After selecting Linux 2.6.23-22-generic 64-bit in the GRUB bootloader, I am staring at a black screen with a white flashing underscore for almost 2 minutes (usually between 1min40sec and 2min). The Linux kernel is loading here, and it's taking forever!
Once Plymouth starts it barely even manages to flash into view before it's done and I get to login, so bravo @ Canonical.
But seriously, I need that boot time cut down A LOT.
Since I'm assuming it has quite some relevance, here's all my installed programs: (So if you know any offenders you can point them out)
EDIT: I can see it also lists packages I've removed after installing them. Removed packages are listed as "deinstall" and are, obviously, NOT installed or functioning, but their config files remain I assume.

It's not a huge issue but kind of annoying since the one that ubuntu installed took a second and I was at the menu.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI was having issues with xscreensaver, desktop background and VLC all cutting out at same or different times and narrowed it down to "possibly" compiz or the FGLXR ATI driver that was recommended for my ATI HD3200 card. So, without knowing better, i went into hardware settings and removed the proprietary driver and did a reboot thinking the system would come back up and default back to a vanilla driver. No dice. Hello white screen of death! So, i am assuming that I can just reinstall via terminal and life will be good again? So, looking for CLI commands via terminal for reinstall.. (if possible)
View 9 Replies View RelatedI got tired of not being able to run any 3D apps on my integrated Intel and went out and came home with a ATi Radeon HD 4650. Skip the bit about how I could have gotten an nVidia (they didn't have any HTPC compatible low-profile nVidias on shelf).
Actually the card works very well, it runs all the 3D apps I've thrown at it so far (and quite a bit faster too).
My problem is with video playback: it is jerky. The framerate stalls and then speeds up and is out of sync. When not out of sync, there is tearing. Yes I have tried turning Compiz off, didn't do anything. Weird thing is the CPU utilization is really low, so everything should be working.
I figured I would update the video drivers to the latest available on ATi website (following the instructions here) but I've ran into trouble with the installer:
Code:
How do I proceed from here? If you've got a fix for the video with the drivers in the repositories that is cool also. I don't necessarily need the latest drivers.
I tried to install the 3D-accelerated proprietary graphics driver for my graphics card but it doesn't work.

Question 2: on my server im running a script like imagebam and imageshack with hosts images so i have quite a few apache requests to my server. I am wonder why apache takes up so much CPU for some of the requests? in Htop some requests take up 1.2% CPU while other take up 3-5% etc, so the total load is about 1.50 0.58 0.84 to 2.61 1.08 1.14 with about 128-150 apache requests all the time while sometimes the CPU load can be almost 0 with the same ammount of requests. is this normal? what could cause this in apache ?? the server is just running apache2. MYSQL is running on another server.
I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 and Windows XP on my system. After installing Ubuntu, it boots normally about once, and then the next time I try to boot, I have to wait a few minutes with it saying "GRUB Loading." I have read other threads about this that say that it is clearly a GRUB2 problem, and something about Windows overwriting something with the MBR; although I haven't booted into windows once in the process of installing Ubuntu (multiple times) or afterward. GRUB version 1.97~beta4.
