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...
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...
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.
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...
I messed around some more, disabling various devices (sound, lan, etc) in bios, reinstalling from scratch UNchecking updates and restricted packages, installing some updates from the proposed branch,...
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.
Worked great on Lucid x64, continues to...
If you time out while connecting to keyservers, it's probably that your firewall is blocking the necessary tcp port (11371, I believe).
If you can open up that port in your firewall, you'll be...
I generally prefer to do fresh installs with each new release as opposed to an upgrade, but the whole backup and reinstall process does get tedious.
So I've been reading up on LVM to help make the...
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.
Also, most patches for wine are...
Answered part of my own question while I was typing it. Evidently it WAS trying to create thumbnails for the thousands of files, which naturally was quite a chore.
I set this to "never" in the...
One of the systems I use takes images from multiple cameras and stores many small jpg (about 20K each) inside a different folder for each day. These folder end up with hundreds to thousands of small...
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.
Once...
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.
...
Please post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file so we can see what's going on in there.
Most of the problems I've seen relating to resolution problems are from your MONITOR being set wrong. Pretty much...
No change with either suggestion, unfortunately.
Thanks for the reply.
I believe I did try doing a "sudo nvidia-settings", but I've messed around with it so much now that I forget what I've already done. And even if I did, maybe it wasn't on my...
I am using Ubuntu 8.04 with an Nvidia 8800 GTS 512MB graphics card, and am using the Nvidia 169.12 drivers that I loaded with EnvyNG.
Everything is working fine, except that when I log in to X,...
