[15:12] <Shadow__X> are any people on here having issues with mythbuntu 10.10 i built a box yesterday and when i went to install it the system felt like it was crawling. I have never seen ubuntu run this slow on modern hardware
[15:46] <chiluk> 10.10 is doing wonders on my machine...
[15:47] <chiluk> nfs transfers went from 40 mb/s to 70-90 mb/s
[15:47] <chiluk> what in particular is slow?
[15:47] <chiluk> If it's video.. maybe you forgot some drivers?
[15:51] <Shadow__X> chiluk: well i put together a server for someone and i botted up 10.10 live and it was slow but i thought maybe it was due to the sd card so even when i installed it. It was laggy,slow and tended to freeze
[15:51] <chiluk> did you check /var/log/messages?
[15:51] <chiluk> was there anything incriminating in there?
[15:53] <Shadow__X> no i did not think to check there but, i did check dmesg
[15:55] <Shadow__X> i want contemplating trying again when i go back but i was leaning towards just installing 10.04
[15:55] <Shadow__X> i looked and it seems as if the freezing is a somewhat common problem according to the ubuntu forums
[16:01] <chiluk> how new of a machine is it?
[16:03] <Shadow__X> core i7 950 12gb ddr3 1066 ram
[16:03] <Shadow__X> nvidia 8400gs
[16:03] <Shadow__X> i think thats new enough to not be slow
[16:05] <chiluk> did you install the nvidia binary driver?
[16:06] <Shadow__X> well mythbuntu started with them and at the end of the install i chose them so yes
[16:06] <Shadow__X> i was on something like 260 of the drivers
[16:07] <chiluk> anything in top using a ton of CPU?... it's pretty hard to use all of a 950.
[16:09] <Shadow__X> chiluk: nope. There wasnt anything on the top of the list but, system load was a bit high around 1.5 to 2.7 at some points but there wasnt an offending processing coming to the top of the list
[16:10] <chiluk> very odd.. did you try running a hard drive benchmark?
[16:11] <chiluk> system->administration->disk utility
[16:11] <Shadow__X> yes the drive was doing around 89MB/sec on hdparm -tT
[16:12] <Shadow__X> yes very odd in deed especially since this was a side project for my boss's home and i was using mythbuntu as it would be easier for him to use
[16:13] <Shadow__X> actually now that i am thinking about it i dont recall having disk utility there
[16:13] <Shadow__X> it could of been for the most part a bad iso
[16:13] <Shadow__X> i did not check the hash
[16:13] <chiluk> oh it might not be in mythbuntu...
[16:14] <chiluk> sorry man that's really perplexing.  I wish I knew what to tell you.
[16:14] <chiluk> good luck.. let us know if you figure it out.
