Hey guys - I've been a passionate fan of Feisty, used it, loved it, recommended it. It was fast, easy, and just worked. Hardy, not so much. Since installing it, I've almost given up getting any real work done in Ubuntu.
The main problem is that everything... goes... so... slowly. Launching web browsers and other programs takes ages. Writing this, the text comes in short fits, rather than in a continuous flow. Watching videos, either it is video files, flash videos or DVDs is almost impossible due to lag. In Feisty I used to be able to have my documents up, Pidgin, Skype, maybe even a browser on another screen, and still watch DVDs without a hitch. That has become impossible. What on earth did Hardy do to my great system??
My computer is an Aopen 1557, with a 1,6 GHz intel centrino, 1Gb RAM, 128 Mb AVI Radeon Mobility (9700) and a 60 Gig hard drive. I've set all the graphics to a minimum, and it has unfortunately not solved the problem. Not that I would be willing to have them like that - grown addicted to the "flip-screens" of Compiz.
ANY help greatly appreciated!
