Michael, You had advised me to try the following command to adjust the laptop's performance:
/usr/bin/cpufreq-selector -g performance However, cpufreq-selector doesn't appear to be available for kubuntu 7.10, at least I couldn't find it with either Adept or apt-get. I did install everything that related to cpufreq and found what seemed the closest, cpufreq-set. I blindly ran that with both the -g & performance arguments (although looking at the man later performance doesn't seem to apply.) In any event, the install then creeped slowly, but surely, to a successful completion. SAGE loads properly as does the notebook and the long test ran with no errors found. Thanks much for your help...Dave On Dec 18, 2:02 pm, mabshoff <[EMAIL PROTECTED] dortmund.de> wrote: > On Dec 18, 10:36 pm, davedo2 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Willam, > > Hi, > > > > > The day after I had done a successful install from source of 2.8.15 > > on > > my laptop (which is running kubuntu 7.10) the 2.9 release was > > announced. > > It is a blessing and a curse to do about a release a week :) > > > > > OK, first I tried sage -upgrade, but after a LONG run that > > failed with several error messages that regretfully I didn't capture. > > I then downloaded the source for 2.9 and after removing the remnants > > of the failed upgrade I tried the untar & make process.
