Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] system requirements (workaround created!)

That's a pretty trivial change, but, unlike the official 11.04 image, it installs and runs fine in a 3GB virtual disk, at least in my initial testing here (under VirtualBox 4.0.6). So, we seem to have a code-free workaround :) I suspect the number could be lowered to around 9 for a 1.8GB size check, but I have not tested that yet. I can make this hacked ISO available for download, but it is a bit 'dubious' at this point from a support point of view, since it does not 'say' anywhere in its menus etc. that I modified it! I need it to refer to itself as 11.04.jm1 or something, so it is clearly not the official Lubuntu 11.04 version, if there is going to be much use of it. If anyone has an urgent need for this ISO image, let me know. It is now 1am here, and I have to go to work tomorrow (today!!) so I don't have time to create the .jm1 identified image right now...

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Benefits of Lubuntu being official (was: Re: Ask Mark session )
The Bittorrent protocol has one downside, not being able to connect simple users. the reason for this is are passive connections, where the torrent client is not directly accessible through a tcp port from the internet. active connections are those clients that did configure a port to be addressable from the internet often that requires to configure a port forward in your home router to your machine. you can make 'active - active' connections and 'active - passive' connections client - port 51413 - internet - port 65530 - client 2011/5/5 Chris cyber.dr...@gmail.com: Only when I'm downloaden the uploading seems to go fast, but besides that, it seems really slow.

There are 3 swap partitions on the machine 384 MiB each, one on each HDD, and have been for every install. I set the drives up with GParted before anything else was installed. Not sure if the installer uses swap though. I know some don't as some distros insist on formatting swap. This is a right royal PITA as it changes the UUID and I have to alter it back so the other distros on there don't lose the swap.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Really odd keyboard and mouse issue
Somehow I get the feeling 'scheduler' is in place here are you running a custom kernel ? 2011/3/16 Jared Norris jrnor...@gmail.com: How often is every now and then? Once a day? Once a month? :) If it is very infrequent, you will probably need to run monitoring tools all the time, so you can catch it in the act. The computer is on 24/7 but I'm obviously not at it, so for example today it has done it 3 times while I'm at the computer already in the space of a few hours. Other days it's not at all. (1) Based on the above, I would suggest running system monitoring tools to check what else the machine is doing when it is lagging your keyboard/mouse input. htop, iotop, jnettop will do for simple text-based what is doing a lot of work on my PC checking. vmstat and iostat might be worth a look too. I completely forgot about iotop, I've been running htop and can't see anything, the CPU is idling along at 1 - 3 % (3.2 P4 Prescott) and the RAM is using around 20% (2GB). Last time I had a really weird problem with a computer it turned out to be a faulty CPU cooler connection so I've been keeping an eye to the temps and they are all fine. (2) If you are comfortable working at the command line, you could also consider running the machine with no GUI (no X) -- no LXDE stuff at all, just plain old text mode consoles) for a while. If the issue goes away, you would then suspect that whatever is causing the problem is X related in some way. With enough time, you could then start X and run just an xterm or LXterminal window and see if that lags or not... and so on... slowly building back up towards a full LXDE GUI. Knowing what was added that started the problem up again would be a very big clue. Ah I was hoping this would have been tested with the SSH because this is my main IRC, IM, Web Browsing and Email machine here at home. (3) If you have another spare test machine, try setting it up as close to identical to the first one as you can, documenting how to do that step by step. Then, see if you can reproduce the problem on the second machine too. If you can reproduce it there, you now have accurate and tested step-by-step how to reproduce information for the bug report, which could be very handy for others trying to duplicate and track down the issue :) Realistically, this kind of weird stuff happens occasionally issue is going to be hard to track down. Hopefully the above suggestions will help, if you decide you have the patience to really work on doing that. Thanks for your thoughts I have already started up iotop so I'll see how that goes. I was half hoping there would be a oh I had that problem and did this solution, but I think that was a bit of wishful thinking. I will make sure I let everyone know if I find a solution though as this is really odd. Feel free to keep the suggestions coming, it's really bugging me.
