** Description changed: 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). Also see "why did Ubuntu turn off kernel preemption in Edgy?" at https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-November/022769.html - , maybe it's the same problem. + , maybe it's a related problem. What can this be? Edgy doesn't need that more resources than Dapper, does it? What can I do? I consider this a serious regression. -- 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
