[Bug 73887] Re: Edgy is slow and can't handle multiple apps well
Thank you very much for your clever remarks. You're right, I am not using a swap partition according to `swapon -s'. I didn't know this (because I have one set up at hda1). So I'm only using my 472mb ram (512 minus onboard mem). But this actually means that Ubuntu is using much more memory than I though it did. And it doesn't really explain why sometimes my load rises above 6.00... if Linux is out of memory it just kills a process right? And why is my harddisk freaking out in activity when my load rises so high? I don't really understand that :-) If anyone has suggestions I'd love to hear it.

I confirm this problem on my 2GHz white MacBook with Ubuntu Feisty. Sometimes Ubuntu boots with this problem, sometimes it happens out of the blue while working.

This problem not only occurs when plugging in/out usb-mouses. It also happens when booting. What works for me if the system is booted with numlock on: 1. choose System->Quit, then Suspend. 2. THEN close the laptop lid. 3. Open it after 5 seconds. 4. Numlock is on but goes off after 1 seconds.

Thank you very much for your clever remarks. You're right, I am not using a swap partition according to `swapon -s'. I didn't know this (because I have one set up at hda1). So I'm only using my 472mb ram (512 minus onboard mem). But this actually means that Ubuntu is using much more memory than I though it did. And it doesn't really explain why sometimes my load rises above 6.00... if Linux is out of memory it just kills a process right? And why is my harddisk freaking out in activity when my load rises so high? I don't really understand that :-) If anyone has suggestions I'd love to hear it.

I confirm this problem on my 2GHz white MacBook with Ubuntu Feisty. Sometimes Ubuntu boots with this problem, sometimes it happens out of the blue while working. Plugging in a usb-mouse, or removing it, sometimes creates or solves the problem. OS X doesn't have this problem.

[Bug 73887] Re: Edgy is slow and can't handle multiple apps well
Thank you very much for your clever remarks. You're right, I am not using a swap partition according to `swapon -s'. I didn't know this (because I have one set up at hda1). So I'm only using my 472mb ram (512 minus onboard mem). But this actually means that Ubuntu is using much more memory than I though it did. And it doesn't really explain why sometimes my load rises above 6.00... if Linux is out of memory it just kills a process right? And why is my harddisk freaking out in activity when my load rises so high? I don't really understand that :-) If anyone has suggestions I'd love to hear it. In the meantime I'll activate my swap and see what it does. -- Edgy is slow and can't handle multiple apps well https://launchpad.net/bugs/73887 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 73887] Edgy is slow and can't handle multiple apps well
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.17 Since I upgraded Dapper to Edgy, I'm having serious problems when I'm running multiple apps in Gnome. I even consider downgrading to Dapper, but I hope it's not necessary. I have an Athlon XP 2200+ CPU with 512mb RAM. In Dapper this was great, but now it feels like I'm running with 128MB; When switching between apps, especially when there's also some CPU load, my harddisk is very busy (as if it is swapping) and the user interface responds slow. Often I had to kill firefox from tty1 because my load rose above 6.00. Some other times firefox or GDM was killed automatically (See the attached kern.log, "Out of Memory" messages).
