Thanks a lot Leszek for the help. I managed to fix it. Problem was with "PulseAudio". I removed it and installed "alsamixergui". In fact, after removing PulseAudio, I had no sound unless I plug my headset. So, I was looking at this link: http://wiki.birth-online.de/know-how/software/linux/alsa-t

It is hard or impossible to install Lubuntu (any Ubuntu desktop flavour) from the desktop iso with less than 768 MB RAM, even if it works well to run a live session. Install from the alternate iso :-) On 2013-04-03 14:24, Tracer wrote: >> - Original Message - >> From: Ali Linx (amjjawad) >

I makes me sad, that the Ubuntu guy gave you such an answer :-( I suggest that you try updating with terminal window commands sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade and when necessary sudo apt-get dist-upgrade Good luck :-) Nio On 2013-04-03 21:17, Aere Greenway wrote: > On 04/03/2013 11:44

Hi Aere, And try this command to find out more about that python command (the whole command line) ps -Af |grep python --- Maybe it is writing to/from some buffers, probably swapping. Such activities happen with small RAM, it can take a long time, but if you patiently wait, it will (often) finish
