Please delete my account, Shuffman37. I still use Ubuntu, but no longer need an account on this forum. Thank you!

I've used

-sudo cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_cur_freq
-sudo cat /proc/cpuinfo

Along with many other apps.

They all say my CPU is running at 2900mhz. Athlon ii x2 245...

Whats your current CPU? If its a low end single core, that may very well be your issue. I have a 7600gs with a slow, pentium 4 and I'm lucky to get 15fps.

I just ordered some 10.04 Cds seeing that I don't have a working Dvd/cd burner. Hopefully 10.04 shows me some love =)

Anyone???

I have 9.04 running well on my machine. I have always had to configure Xorg for my Sony Monitor and Nvidia 7600gs graphic card. (blank screen with nvidia driver...etc) Ever since 7.10.

Now, the...

I have recieved CD in the past and I don't have a functional DVD burner to create my own disk. It says I cantribute to the Ubuntu community for more CDs but there isn't a way for me to get one. What...

Whats your guy's take on having all of the /usr../etc folders on their own drives/partitions. I'm familiar with having a separate boot partition and home partition but how much faster would it be...

I recently built a custom entertainment center and I'm planning on building a new rig soon. I only built it to hold a matx board and all of the AM3 boards at newegg are 785g or 790gx variants with...

No problem ;)

I must admit a highly tweaked Ubuntu 9.04 system flies. I'm using it on a 28gb/2gb-swap ext4 partition short stroking my 320gb ide drive. Boots in about 20 seconds to log in with just the basic...

If I were you open us Disk usage analyzer, scan your home folder and look for the games files. It'll probably eat up about 4gb or so of space so it should be really easy to find that way. Then just...

well fsck, Its 4.30 am so I'm not trying to be too fancy. Its weird though my system is stable and working even thought my root partition is supposedly "corrupted".

Well we all know every 20-30 boots the pc runs checkdisk to check for errors. Lately whenever it runs it lists a whole mess of errors and says my root partition is corrupted. I'm using ext4 and the...

"Faster Gnome/UBUNTU Menus
I’ve noticed that sub-menus tend to be a little “sticky”. It seems there is a 1/4s delay in usability.
Click "Places", "Home Folder". Now, we need to create a file...

I have the same problem. Xorg usually eats about 150mb of my 384mb of ram and my system comes to a crawl after any multitasking and even after closing everything Xorg still uses 150mb ram....

If you can find one of the dual core N330 models it would be slightly better for multitasking. For single threaded stuff that Celeron-M would do a much better job. The nvidia-ion based boards are...

I happen to have a 1.7ghz P4 in a sony Vaio pc. The bios are locked so I cannot overclock that way and when I used to use windows XP I could use ClockGen to get my CPU up to about 2ghz and it would...

Lately I've been having a mess of problems with Xorg failing to start and not leaving a log file for me to look at. I ended up looking at the Xorg.Conf the Nvidia driver makes and found out its a...

If you want to try to manually edit it (back it up and use caution!) you can type in "sudo nautilus" then in the root file manager go to the xorg.conf, open it with text editor and make your changes.

If you have the nvidia-settings tool installed (comes with the driver) you could run that as root to change the file automatically. Whats your current resolution and refresh rate? If you run...

To install DKMS just open up Synaptic and search for it under all packages. Once you do that and completely update your system you should be able to enable your driver with "restricted drivers...

Yay, I've got it working now! I had to reinstall the system and completely update everything before it would work and I had to install "dkms" (Dynamic Kernel Module Support Framework) and then the...

I just did multiple tries installing 9.04 and everytime I enable any of the listed Nvidia drivers in restricted drivers I end up with a blank screen at log in. I had it working with the nvidia driver...
