Guest eeeno Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 I've got 1600 mhz AMD duron, 256 ddr ram, 64 mb gpu (NVIDIA). Mandrake 9.2 didn't have significant performance issues as it just worked but as i upgraded to Mandriva 2006, it's gone really really slow. The startup is actually faster, but KDE somehow eats all the memory. It's somehow swapping all the time as it has 1 gb swap partition. After a few hours of using OpenOffice , Firefox just goes slow and hangs. The menus arent working... it's just using the swap partition i think. I think my hardware is getting a bit old, but it's not really that bad , it should be enough for office work and dvd videos and music. Does anyone have any way to tweak the settings?? Even disabling the effects doesn't do much. Does anyone have similar problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mhn Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 Try removing Kat, it use to slow down systems a lot. In a terminal write: su (enter root password) urpme kat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 (edited) Already said here one thousand times, but anyway here it goes again: su -c "urpme kat" Any better after doing that and logging out and back in?

ianw1974 Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 If you post your list of running services, we can remove all other unwanted services and help free up some more memory and make it a bit more speedy. chkconfig --list | grep on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
