Krita is a KDE app and when you install it, it will install a lot of KDE libraries. This is not a problem as now you'll have those KDE libraries for other KDE apps should you want to install them.

Is the physical wireless button on?

Have you accidentally turned off the wireless with the function buttons?

This perplexed me for a while too with my Starling.

Check those and I hope it...

Just add [Solved] to the title of your thread. That should do the trick.

Thanks for the reply, ubuntu27. Somehow I missed the ultrabook thread. Hrm.

I might go with something else. I get 1.5 hours or so with my Pangolian 5. The idea of a couch-surfing machine is...

I'm looking at upgrading my computers again. :) I'm quite happy with System76 as a company with their support and high-quality hardware.

A couple of questions:

What exactly is the battery...

I can say that Xubuntu works like a charm on my Starling, so it should work just fine on your Gazelle.

Maybe it's a website error or they're sold out?

I hope so, because if I get this job I'm hoping for (after expenses, ofc) I'm looking to upgrade my machines and send my current machines to a...

Let me resurrect this thread. (Oh noez, it's the ZOMBIE THREAD come to eat your brains... *NOM NOM NOM*)

I had the runaway Xorg issue AGAIN with the nVidia binary drivers, like I was getting when...

It controlled my heat issue pretty well. I just decided to increase my desk space (you know the thing my laptop sits on, hah!) by getting rid of the second monitor. I'm actually doing well with...

I thought I was a regular use case with the extra monitor. I guess not now.

I've removed it in the hopes of keeping the heat down.

And yes, I'm on G+. I don't know exactly what I'm doing...

I know now it's the second monitor that's causing all of my issues. I've removed the monitor and now things are working just fine. But, things are running a little hotter because it's... hotter...

Ok.

I've done all the modifications like you suggested, including the xorg change, and I ran glxgears for a couple of minutes... I'm not ever in Quiet Mode (why would someone use that?) and my GPU...

Come to think of it, I'm running the experimental drivers. The 2D ones are the "nv" drivers; I'm running nouveau.

We'll see if Ubuntu spins a Gnome3 version. I wouldn't mind trying it out;...

I'm not using "fancy-fancy" Aero graphics... I think my card and everything comes out to a 3.5 or something on 7's "suitability index". I have clear bars and Aero effects, if that's what you mean. ...

That's the funny thing.

I'm not having overheating or slowdowns in Windows 7.

Strange.

Amy

HotShotDJ,

Thanks for your advice. Also, thank you for confirming that I'm not going crazy; this issue WAS NOT in Maverick. Maybe I shouldn't have upgraded...

Anyway.

I'm running the...

Sorry to hijack the thread, but HotShotDJ, have you had problems with the binary driver?

I'll use the binary driver and xorg will chomp all of my available CPU and my computer will slow to a...

Also!

I run a dual-monitor setup with a Westinghouse 1280x1024 LCD panel.

Just something I thought of that I didn't add before.

Amy

Hrm.

Ok.

I'm out of warranty, so unless this can be taken care of with software, I'm kind of stuck.

I have full hardware acceleration under Windows 7, if this helps anything.

Amy

The additional drivers utility installs the binary drivers from nVidia. I enable them, reboot, and start running basic stuff (browser, music app, gwibber, empathy, irc, etc) and sometimes as quickly...

Thanks for getting back with me.

I figured you were on vacation. :)

Amy

Xorg chomped on my CPU after about 2.5 to 3 hours while using the binary drivers.

I switched back to the open-source nouveau ones.

Anyone have an idea why this is happening?

Anyone having...

I just disabled sync to vblank and allow flipping.

Xorg seems to be behaving itself right this second coming in on top at 3% of my CPU, compiz at 6%.

I'll update this again if something...

UPDATE!!!

I've updated my drivers manually and it seems to be taking care of the problem.

I also switched to a DVI to HDMI cable on the monitor and everything was detected and is currently...

I've cleaned my fan out, and that has helped a great deal. I'm not going to call it solved til I'm sure the fan-cleaning fixed my problem.
