Re: Ubuntu 7.04
Hobo type top from the terminal and see what processes are taking up the CPU
Re: Ubuntu 7.04
my guess is its maybe his 3d accelerator settings in his xorg.conf
Re: Ubuntu 7.04
Not at home now, but I'll post the requested info when I get off of work.
Was up late trying to get it working, but got pissed and shut the monitor off while waiting for the Restricted Drivers Manager to load.
It's slow during startup, slow when opening any application. Though the run command (alt-f2) pops up fairly quickly.
I'm just confused why my 3d accelerator would have anything to do with application speed. I could see maybe having choppy video (just like in windows when you haven't installed video drivers yet), but a complete slowdown of the whole system?
Really trying to get this going because after installing SP2 for XP Pro my system freezes intermittently. And I have to have SP2 to play Hellgate: London. Thinking it has something to do with drivers, but I've uninstalled and reinstalled every device driver I can think of. I'll try switching my PCI wireless NIC card to another slot, see if it reinitializes correctly and stops the freezing.

Having him use System Monitor would probably be easier. top is kinda hard to interpret for those new to linux..
I think you get to Gnome System Monitor under system > administrator. Once you get in that just look under the 'nice' column. Negative numbers = bad.

Re: Ubuntu 7.04
no, look at what processes are causing load...
Re: Ubuntu 7.04
Thats what 'nice' does. It displays the programs that arent being 'nice'
Re: Ubuntu 7.04
Didn't have much time to screw around with it last night. What I did notice is this:
Installed on another machine, ran smoothly, no problems, runs fast, looks great.
Typed 'top' into terminal, and noticed Synaptic and Xorg swapping places between taking up the most CPU. Between 65-85%.
In System Monitor, my CPU usage is running around 87%. No negative numbers under any NICE column, and System Monitor was taking up the only CPU percentage I could see; around 47%.
It's gotta be some hardware that Ubuntu doesn't like.
I'm planning on wiping everything and starting over, just have to back everything up. Going to tear everything out of the case as well, try to narrow down what might be causing the problem with my XP SP2.
Actually thinking of buying a new mobo/cpu, but I'll have to see how my fundage comes out after paying bills.
I'll report back after I get everything wiped and re-installed.

wrong, it has to do with priority of the program. you do not need to be concerned about nice, ESPECIALLY on a newly installed box.
