[notes #91 and #92] Upgrading to mountall 2.15 resolved the problem on both machines. Netbook scan about 10 seconds, desktop about one minute (down from 10 minutes and one hour). Using lucid-proposed can be *far* easier than the complex Wiki page suggests, but it's been made immutable/uneditabl

Further to the above ... I don't know any more about the immediate- restart thing, but other standby and hibernate problems have been solved by switching to uswsusp. 1. Use synaptic package manager (on the System/Administration menu) to install uswsusp# 2. Use terminal (on the Applications/Access

This was happening on my machine intermittently on 9.10: most of the time it would suspend and resume just fine, but one time in ten it would surprise me by waking up again spontaneously immediately after suspending, for no apparent reason: requesting suspend again immediately would usually work.

Sorry ... I'll check it and report back once it comes through on automatic updates. I missed the note #86 because so many of these 90-something comments are in note form rather than sentences, with abbreviations and technical terms that mean nothing to me: I find these pages very difficult to read.

Further to the immediately preceding post, as an experiment, I forced fsck on my one-year-old Acer Aspire One Atom-based Netbook with fresh 10.04 install. It has *exactly* the same bug: the check slows to snail's pace, and C doesn't cancel. You could hardly find two more diverse machines with the s

Deeply depressing, I just feel like a newbie reading all this stuff even though I've been completely M$-free for almost two years, but I have the same problem, I've been watching the boot screen for nearly an hour, this really ought to be a top priority for an automatic update, it's completely unac

2009-11-11 Thread Michael Hampson
Lastest Karmic, fully Updated (19:30 UK time, 11/11/2009), fresh install of bindwood through synaptic, kills Firefox on both PCs (unresponsive; 100% CPU load). json file is 86k - accumulated debris of years of bookmarking, I admit, but they're all in neat folders by subject, it's not unreasonable..
