Hi All
I have recently installed LXDE alongside Gnome in Ubuntu 10.04.
After starting the system I just looked at the System monitor to
see the RAM usage in each case.
GNOME uses about 270 MB of RAM,
How are you getting this total,
i.e., what all are you attributing to GNOME? By a rough count, I get about
150MB of RAM usage for GNOME on my laptop?
Gora: The figures are TOTAL RAM usage and not RAM attributed to the DE. I am
unaware how I can calc GNOME mem usage
LXDE uses 185 and OpenBox uses 165 MB. However with GNOME/Openbox the
processors were showing 90-95% use.
The 90-95% processor usage is ONLY with GNOME with OpenBox and is normal
with all other DE. In all cases NO other USER started apps were running
except those started by the default system.
CPU usage was constantly at 90-95%, and you were not using anything other
than the desktop? That sounds like there is something seriously wrong.

Onkar: Nvidia GeForce 6600 on Gigabyte MB. These figures are WITHOUT ANY programs running - either user started or added to startup and RAM usage seen thru System Monitor. Just curious - Are these RAM usage figures normal or abnormal. If so which way and any guesses why? The RAM usage seems to be abnormal to me for a fresh install. Also 90-95% CPU usage is abnormal. For nvidia cards Ubuntu is using new open source driver 'nouveau' by default. Considering that it is very new code there might be memory leakages. You may want to report a bug.

However with GNOME/Openbox the processors were showing 90-95% use. So among the Ubuntu variants, does any one use any other DE other than the regular GNOME/KDE. In terms of installed size and memory (RAM) use which Desktop Environment / Window Manager would be most small / efficient. Say the whole system installed on around 1GB and RAM of around 125MB. And how can this be done. I know i can install the DE/WM in parallel to gnome, but will it be possible to remove Gnome and install the other DE /WM. Is this at all possible to install just the base OS and them chose which DE / WM and apps i chose to install. Well, it is quiet hard to exactly say that my system uses 160MB of ram, depends on various factors, like your ram, services running, applications running, size of swap... Yes it is definitely possible to completely remove Gnome and install other DE's either manually -- use Synaptic package manager or https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD (I haven't tried, but should work AFAIK) and install everything starting from network manager to audio players...
