| IAmNotThatGuy | democrezy: Kindly tell me which version of Ubuntu you are using and your hardware configuration | 09:53 |
| democrezy | firstly i use ubuntu 9.04, it was very unstable. then i switched to 11.04, it was unstable too. Now i switched to 11.10, it is more stable but not up to the mark. | 09:55 |
| democrezy | Hardware config is- Core i3 3.09 Ghz, 4gb ram, 1 TB hard disk. Intel HD 2000 inbuilt Graphics | 09:56 |
| democrezy | IAmnotThatGuy: By the way thanks for response | 09:57 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | democrezy: Sorry. I was away. and your OS is up-to-date with all updates?? | 10:36 |

| democrezy | i want to ask something | 10:42 |
| democrezy | 11.10 is just 2 months old,why do i need update? | 10:43 |
| lalatenduM | democrezy: I am using 11.10 and its pretty stable for me | 10:51 |
| lalatenduM | I think its configuration issue | 10:52 |
| democrezy | can u explain further lalatenduM ;? | 10:53 |
| lalatenduM | tell the exact issues... | 10:53 |
| lalatenduM | lets go one by one | 10:53 |
| democrezy | okay , first of all thanks for response | 10:54 |
| lalatenduM | democrezy: np | 10:54 |
| democrezy | even i dont know what is exact issue. when i hear people saying ubuntu is very stable, i got very annoyed. | 10:57 |
| democrezy | My system freezes a lot | 10:57 |
| democrezy | earlier i had to press restart button | 10:57 |
| coalwater | next time it gets slow u should try looking at the system monitor and see if something is taking much ram or cpu | 10:58 |
| democrezy | now i have learned Xkill command, and most of time i am able to come out of freeze | 10:58 |
| lalatenduM | ok | 10:59 |
| lalatenduM | the common reason behind the freeze issue may be issue with your display driver | 10:59 |
| lalatenduM | *the common reason behind the freeze issue can the because of your display driver | 11:00 |
| coalwater | nvidia/ati ? | 11:00 |
| lalatenduM | democrezy: And have you installed the system recommended 3rd party driver (go to systemSysettings->Additional drivers) | 11:02 |
| lalatenduM | democrezy: r u thr? | 11:25 |
| democrezy | yes | 11:26 |
| democrezy | where were you | 11:26 |
| lalatenduM | i am here :). | 11:27 |
| lalatenduM | democrezy: for freeze issue check that you installed the system recommended 3rd party driver (go to systemSysettings->Additional drivers) | 11:27 |
| lalatenduM | which graphics card u have? nvidia/ati | 11:28 |
| democrezy | i have checked it. that area is blank. | 11:28 |
| lalatenduM | hmm | 11:29 |
| lalatenduM | run "lspci" command on terminal and copy it to http://pastebin.com/ | 11:29 |
| democrezy | no proprietary drivers are in use on this system | 11:29 |
| democrezy | this is displayed | 11:29 |
| democrezy | no external graphics card, inbuilt 1.5 gb memory | 11:30 |
| democrezy | okay wait for a minute | 11:30 |

| democrezy | same here man | 11:31 |
| democrezy | do u face any problem? | 11:31 |
| lalatenduM | nope not at all..silky smooth | 11:31 |
| lalatenduM | how did install the OS? bootable cd or bootable USB? | 11:32 |
| democrezy | bootable cd | 11:32 |
| lalatenduM | and 64 bit or 32 bit? | 11:32 |
| democrezy | 64 bit | 11:32 |
| lalatenduM | ok | 11:32 |
| democrezy | i had used 9.04 1nd 11.04 32 bit, they were very unstable | 11:33 |
| lalatenduM | and Ubuntu is the only operating system? | 11:33 |
| lalatenduM | actually i have 32 bit 11.10 on it | 11:33 |
| democrezy | i am dual booting with xp | 11:33 |
| lalatenduM | but that should not be a issue | 11:33 |
| lalatenduM | ok | 11:33 |
| democrezy | i have run that command | 11:34 |
| lalatenduM | nope wait , have u updated the system after the fresh installation | 11:34 |
| democrezy | it gives information about all intel drivers | 11:34 |
| democrezy | no, but why do i need update? 11.10 is just 2 months old(english not much strong) | 11:35 |
| lalatenduM | i am talking about bug fixes which ubuntu gives | 11:36 |
| lalatenduM | the system will be in 11.10 after update ..but the bug fixes and enhanced version of packages will install | 11:37 |
| coalwater | democrezy: updating is not like jumping into a new version, its just some packages that ubuntu uses, whenever each package has an update it installs | 11:37 |
| lalatenduM | will be installed* | 11:37 |
| democrezy | okay | 11:37 |
| democrezy | can i do manual update of video drivers only? i think they are not working properly | 11:38 |
| lalatenduM | I will recommend a full update | 11:39 |
| lalatenduM | you never know for sure which component has issue | 11:39 |
| lalatenduM | I do the update as the 1st thing after a fresh install | 11:40 |

| LemonAid | Hello. Did anyone experience any Kernel panics that might be related to firefox ? (11.04 x64 ) | 19:41 |
| LemonAid | From what i can tell, it happens on prolonged uses of firefox. | 19:42 |
| LemonAid | There is also a bug report on the matter. | 19:43 |
| LemonAid | The reports of the problem being solved are inconsistent. So anyone got any ideas? I obviously can`t test or reproduce it ad-hoc, but if you did encounter it, some tips would help a lot. | 19:47 |
| holstein | LemonAid: are you up to date? are you using the stable FF ppa? | 19:47 |
| holstein | https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable | 19:47 |
| Unit193 | You *could* switch up to another branch | 19:48 |
| LemonAid | I`ll give that a go. | 19:50 |
| LemonAid | It seems that i`m running 8.0 and the current stable version is 9.0. It absolutely missed that. Thank you:) | 19:51 |
| holstein | LemonAid: yeah... and Unit193 just pointed out that that PPA might not be for your version... 11.04 | 19:54 |
| holstein | but, i feel like this is what will be brought up in the bug report... 'have you tried the latest version' ... etc... | 19:55 |
| LemonAid | holstein, i saw that the version was for 10.10. However from what i saw in the report bug, the update to the latest version did not fix the problem. I`ll do some more digging. | 19:56 |
| LemonAid | holstein, Unit193 Thank you. | 19:56 |
| holstein | LemonAid: the other usual tricks are to throw out the current .config directory, or make another user and test as that new user | 19:58 |
| LemonAid | holstein, i`ll try that after i exhaust my current options. The main problem is the testing part is time consuming. | 20:01 |
| LemonAid | I`m running 9.0 now, time will tell. | 20:26 |
