This a bump because I am genuinely curious.

Also, I'm afraid that while there are certain users here who would know the answer to my question, this is not the best place to ask. Is there a better...

Alright, so I looked at the processing tree using htop.

What's being created and then used? Java's generating 14 threads. There's one root thread and then 13 nested ones. These are all NLWP treads...

//This was a particularly fun program that I enjoyed making.

import java.util.*;

//We name our class CoconutPi.

public class CoconutPi{


public static void main(String[] args) {

Or is my scheduler just that good (in which case, suck it Intel!!! AMD >>>>>> Intel)?

Okay, so for an intro to CS class I had to approximate pi by filling a unit circle with randomly generated...

Isn't Xorg what handles your proprietary drivers? Have you tried disabling those or just straight-up killing the Xorg process? Then again, a direct kill will probably just make your crash so I...

I remember Skyping with my girlfriend over the summer and I think Skype would make my computer heat up as well.

I don't know what to say other then Skype might just be a processor heavy task.
...

So I've checked around I've heard it might have something to do with the scheduler. As in, I think what I'm actually doing is launching HoN on the 4th core but afterwards, the scheduler just treats...

Hello All,

So recently I discovered that you can control which processor a certain thread has an affinity for through taskset. At least, I'm assuming it's a thread, right?

Either way, I have...

Well, follow the code. It's telling you that there is a NullPointerException and I used to know Java before our class switched to C but I used to get that error all the time.

I do believe it comes...

I use Psensor but it's much more graphical than something like Conky is, I think.

I bought one that did work right out of the box but only for that kernel.

I'm sorry, TC, but you're going to have use a Terminal, if that's what you're scared of because I don't know what going...

How can 12.10 possibly suck? It's got Gnome 3.6 and once you get used to it, Gnome 3 is awesome. Unity's OpenGL benchmarks are way down here and Gnome's are way up there. I can finally alt-tab out of...

This thread is ironic because my CPU doesn't shutdown when it should.

I got Battlefield: Bad Company 2 to run through Steam through Wine and the max safe temperature for my CPU is supposed to be...

It just occurred to me that you're using Kubuntu and not Ubuntu. Do you know what the main difference between our distros is?

I'm only wondering because Xorg handles proprietary drivers, right?...

The ability of a processor to handle two threads at once does not make it another core but a logical equivalence to one.

Anyway, I have the same issue you do only it's not causing me to crash. I...

The clock on the GPU is low, as well. It's not the lowest but I have 4 possible steps and I'm at the second lowest.

And the driver version is 304.43.

But the thing is, my computer doesn't seem...

Using 'top', the reason for my CPU usage is the gnome-shell, Xorg and nautilus. The gnome-shell (3.6.1) idles at 22.6% usage, Xorg at 15.9% and nautilus at like 14.3%. That adds up quickly when...

Hello All,

I upgraded to 12.10 from 12.04 like two days ago and it's been running flawlessly, actually. What's even better though was that my system theme was 12.10 compatible or Gnome 3.6...

Alright, I got my ethernet cable set up instead. I never thought I'd actually be able to do it but the most ghetto looking ethernet configuration does the job. Yay!

You're probably right though,...

Huh, I tried using the adapter on my girlfriend's Mac but I don't know how to do it.

But I did look it up and my MAC address was reset to a string of 0's so I used the
ifconfig -a command and I...

Hello Ubuntu Community,

I am in dire need of your help. I have a wireless USB adapter and it was working perfectly fine until my roommate decided to change the password. And ever since then,it's...

I'm assuming that a Netgear adapter is something like what I have, a USB plug-in that gives your computer wireless. So it sounds like you just don't have the proper driver installed for you adapter....

To be honest, this thread surprises me and makes me think I can get away with a lot more on these forums.

I don't know how relevant this is or not but I heard that Unity has the lowest OpenGL performance benchmarks.

So I switched from Unity to Gnome 3 (I'm on 12.04 too)and not only was I finally able...

I know this is of no aid to the OP but adding the ppa and upgrading worked for me so I must say thank you, OP, thank you.
