A). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change anything?
If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Thank you for your understanding. ** Description changed: On raring, my radeon 3100 was working pretty well. desktop cube switch was working, for example. Blur effect slowed the desktop down. When I upgraded to saucy on sept. 25 I soon noticed that the desktop was very fast. I could even enable blur effect and it didn't do any harm. After the update on Sept. 30. all the graphics performance was gone. Most desktop effects are disabled. Compositing type is set to XRender, Qt graphics sytem is set to Native. When I try to set Compositing Type to OpenGL and Qt graphics sytem to Raster, I get the message, that 6 desktop effect could not be enabled. Detail window says this is because they require OpenGL. I have no idea where to start digging, so any help is appreciated. regards,Hans-Peter BTW: I'm not using the fglrx driver. I guess they quit support for the 3100 a year ago, or maybe two (or they messed something up) - --- + --- ApportVersion: 2.12.5-0ubuntu1 Architecture: i386 AudioDevicesInUse: - USER PID ACCESS COMMAND - /dev/snd/controlC0: hp 2266 F.... pulseaudio - CurrentDmesg: - Error: command ['sh', '-c', 'dmesg | comm -13 --nocheck-order /var/log/dmesg -'] failed with exit code 1: comm: /var/log/dmesg: Permission denied - dmesg: write failed: Broken pipe + USER PID ACCESS COMMAND + /dev/snd/controlC0: hp 2266 F.... pulseaudio DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 + HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=184fb191-e6db-43dc-a483-305fdf7ad451 InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-02-02 (616 days ago) InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Release i386 (20111012) IwConfig: - tap0 no wireless extensions. - - lo no wireless extensions. - - eth0 no wireless extensions. + tap0 no wireless extensions. + + lo no wireless extensions. + + eth0 no wireless extensions.
