[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1314787] Re: Memory leak

2014-06-29 Thread RonW
I have the same problem since I upgraded from 13.10 to 14.04 on my
TOSHIBA S50D. AMD A10 4 core processor and a RADEON HD 8500 dual graphis
card.  With only the system monitor running in a 24 hour period Xorg
consumes 7GB of pgysical memory and 4 GB of swap space.

Another symptom, is that on the systm monitor it shows the 4 cores, but
they appear to working on the the  same task, amost like they were
acting as a single core processor. I initially saw this same behaviour
when I install 13.04. The resilution was to install the AMD driver,
however, when I attempt to install the AMD driver the installation
process complains that there is an existing fglrx and to remove it. Once
I remove the fglrx package I boot into "LOW GRAPHICS MODE". Again, if I
user the terminal in low graphics mode and try to complie the AMD
driver, the process trys to create a fglrx package and the installation
process complains that the is an existing fglrx installed package.

Under Additional Drivers, I get the memory leak whether I use the Xorg
driver, or the fglrx-updates or the fglrx option. I also do not see any
of the four cores operating independently.

I would appreciate suggestion, because I am running dry.

Thanks

  Memory leak

Bug description:
  I upgraded my PC from Ubuntu 13.10 to 14.04 (released one). After
  upgrade I found the PC slows down soon even without apps running on
  it. When checking with system monitor I found all the physical memory
  was full and the swap file was in use (which never happened with
  13.10). I restarted the PC and left it alone. After six hours memory
  consumption of xorg went from original 250MB to 1,3GB. I guess there
  is a memory leak in the process.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1222249] Re: [Satellite S50D-A, IDT 92HD99BXX, Speaker, ATAPI] No sound at all

2013-10-02 Thread RonW
I managed to break my ubuntu install and in the process of fixing the
problem I fixed the sound issue.

I had setup my own partition table and when I rebooted Ubuntu compliened
about the /boot/efi was corrupt. In the process of fixing the problem
one sugguestion was to ensure that the BIOS bootspeed was set to normal
and not fast. When I was looked at the settings I notice that the boot
option was set to [UEFI BOOT]. One of the options was [CSM BOOT] that
allows booting from external devices.

Steps:
1. Boot 
2. Hold F2 during power up to get to the BIOS
3.Tab over to the Advances tab
4. Use the down arrow to get to the System Configuration (at the bottom) and 
press enter.
5.Set the Boot Mode to CSM Boot
6. Press F10 key to save and exit
7 Reinstall ubnutu

Before I installed Ubuntu I tested the sound and to my surprise it
WORKED!!!

The installation worked find and I have sound.

I don't know why the CSM boot option fixed the sound issue, since ubuntu
installed without the change before, but it appears to interfere with
some components.

Ron
