    [ubuntu] Re: 10.10 runs slow and jerky

    The 2.6.35-23-generic kernel that was recently released into the official repositories also fixed the issue for me. No more need for me to load unsupported kernels from ppa-mainline.

    Looks like it...

    [ubuntu] Re: 10.10 runs slow and jerky

    The 2.6.35.x kernels included with the Maverick installation were indeed barely usable for me.

    But my problems have completely gone away using both the 2.3.36 RC7 and RC8 kernels. I'm using...

    [ubuntu] Re: 10.10 runs slow and jerky

    You will still get prompted for the update when it becomes available, and you can have several kernels installed simultaneously - grub will give you a boot menu allowing you to choose which one you...

    [ubuntu] Re: 10.10 runs slow and jerky

    Well, you could downgrade to 10.04, but 10.10 seems to be fixed for many of us by just upgrading the kernel to a newer version.

    See the posts from JulioBahar and/or Ahansses for the fix.

    Did you try the newer kernel build? Look earlier in this thread for some great info from JulioBahar, and step-by-step instructions from Ahanssen if you need them.

    For at least several...

    Bingo!
    2.6.36-rc7 worked like a charm! At least so far.
    Thanks to all.

    Were any of the machines you've tried it on Intel Core i7 CPU's? I think that's the common denominator here.

    [ubuntu] Re: 10.10 runs slow and jerky

    It's to be expected that there will be LOTS of bugs initially on any new realease, and the most critical ones usually get cleaned up pretty quickly. That's why a lot of people tend to wait awhile and...

    Read up on the kernel changes and can't wait to try them out. The thing is, in my situation (and some others who have posted here), I don't see kslow consuming my resources. In fact, I see plenty of...

    Disabling compositing in Metacity improved things noticeably, but did not cure the issue. My typing lag is now bearable, but audio still skips terribly and is unplayable. At least I can browse the...

    Very similar symptoms on my computer:
    Intel core i7 930
    6GB RAM
    ATI Radeon 5870
    No overclocking or anything funny, all hardware just a few months old.

    [ubuntu] Re: keyserver.ubuntu.com problem

    If you time out while connecting to keyservers, it's probably that your firewall is blocking the necessary tcp port (11371, I believe).

    [all variants] Considering LVM for desktop

  14. Re: HOWTO: Installing and patching Wine from source

    Great guide! One quick edit, though... I believe you need the "<" character for patch to use the diff file. Otherwise you'll just sit at an inactive, blank line.

    Oh that's right, it's not on Hardy by default anymore.
    Do a "sudo apt-get install displayconfig-gtk" from a terminal prompt, or just look for "displayconfig-gtk" in Synaptic Package Manager.

    Did you try going to "Screens and Graphics" like I suggested?

    According to your xorg.conf, it's still using a Plug N' Play monitor setting, which is seems to think is only capable of low res.
