I have core i3 2100 sandybridge, 4GB ram. === udienz__ is now known as udienz [09:53] democrezy: Kindly tell me which version of Ubuntu you are using and your hardware configuration [09:55] 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. [09:56] Hardware config is- Core i3 3.09 Ghz, 4gb ram, 1 TB hard disk. Intel HD 2000 inbuilt Graphics [09:57] IAmnotThatGuy: By the way thanks for response [10:36] democrezy: Sorry. I was away. and your OS is up-to-date with all updates?? [10:42] no [10:42] i want to ask something [10:43] 11.10 is just 2 months old,why do i need update? [10:51] democrezy: I am using 11.10 and its pretty stable for me [10:52] I think its configuration issue [10:53] can u explain further lalatenduM ;? [10:53] tell the exact issues... [10:53] lets go one by one [10:54] okay , first of all thanks for response [10:54] democrezy: np [10:57] even i dont know what is exact issue. when i hear people saying ubuntu is very stable, i got very annoyed. [10:57] My system freezes a lot [10:57] earlier i had to press restart button [10:58] 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] now i have learned Xkill command, and most of time i am able to come out of freeze [10:59] ok [10:59] the common reason behind the freeze issue may be issue with your display driver [11:00] *the common reason behind the freeze issue can the because of your display driver [11:00] nvidia/ati ? [11:02] democrezy: And have you installed the system recommended 3rd party driver (go to systemSysettings->Additional drivers) [11:25] democrezy: r u thr? [11:26] yes [11:26] where were you [11:27] i am here :). [11:27] democrezy: for freeze issue check that you installed the system recommended 3rd party driver (go to systemSysettings->Additional drivers) [11:28] which graphics card u have? nvidia/ati [11:28] i have checked it. that area is blank. [11:29] hmm [11:29] run "lspci" command on terminal and copy it to http://pastebin.com/ [11:29] no proprietary drivers are in use on this system [11:29] this is displayed [11:30] no external graphics card, inbuilt 1.5 gb memory [11:30] okay wait for a minute [11:31] you know what :) i am also running ubuntu on Core i3 3.09 Ghz, 4gb ram, 500GB hard disk. Intel HD 2000 inbuilt Graphics [11:31] same here man [11:31] do u face any problem? [11:31] nope not at all..silky smooth [11:32] how did install the OS? bootable cd or bootable USB? [11:32] bootable cd [11:32] and 64 bit or 32 bit? [11:32] 64 bit [11:32] ok [11:33] i had used 9.04 1nd 11.04 32 bit, they were very unstable [11:33] and Ubuntu is the only operating system? [11:33] actually i have 32 bit 11.10 on it [11:33] i am dual booting with xp [11:33] but that should not be a issue [11:33] ok [11:34] i have run that command [11:34] nope wait , have u updated the system after the fresh installation [11:34] it gives information about all intel drivers [11:35] no, but why do i need update? 11.10 is just 2 months old(english not much strong) [11:36] i am talking about bug fixes which ubuntu gives [11:37] the system will be in 11.10 after update ..but the bug fixes and enhanced version of packages will install [11:37] 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] will be installed* [11:37] okay [11:38] can i do manual update of video drivers only? i think they are not working properly [11:39] I will recommend a full update [11:39] you never know for sure which component has issue [11:40] I do the update as the 1st thing after a fresh install [11:40] Please somebody tell me how to mention someones name in chat...like You guys mention my user name democrezy: [11:40] okay lalatendm [11:40] i just type. and you can retrive it by use back arraow [11:42] not working may be i didnot understand properly [11:42] typing takes too much time [11:43] lalatendm, for how long time r u using linux? [11:44] democrezy: just write first few letters and press tab [11:44] coalwater, yeah, this works. thanks [12:06] democrezy: from last 4 yrears [12:06] Ubuntu last 1 year === yofel_ is now known as yofel [19:41] Hello. Did anyone experience any Kernel panics that might be related to firefox ? (11.04 x64 ) [19:42] From what i can tell, it happens on prolonged uses of firefox. [19:43] There is also a bug report on the matter. [19:47] 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] LemonAid: are you up to date? are you using the stable FF ppa? [19:47] https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable [19:48] You *could* switch up to another branch [19:50] I`ll give that a go. [19:51] It seems that i`m running 8.0 and the current stable version is 9.0. It absolutely missed that. Thank you:) [19:54] LemonAid: yeah... and Unit193 just pointed out that that PPA might not be for your version... 11.04 [19:55] but, i feel like this is what will be brought up in the bug report... 'have you tried the latest version' ... etc... [19:56] 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] holstein, Unit193 Thank you. [19:58] LemonAid: the other usual tricks are to throw out the current .config directory, or make another user and test as that new user [20:01] holstein, i`ll try that after i exhaust my current options. The main problem is the testing part is time consuming. [20:26] I`m running 9.0 now, time will tell.
