You can try it first but if it still crashed like that you might want to reconsider replacing your RAM. If you can borrow a similar type RAM and swap it with yours you might be able to conclude the RAM is giving you that problem.

Hai guys! Love ubuntu much much.

I have a Pentium4 2.40 Ghz running 1gb of ram. Normally I have two or three things running on my ubuntu box (Firefox, Transmissions, Geany), but some websites on firefox run really slowly (namely lowyat). I was wondering is it a lack of ram, lack of processor, or both?

And the result of it would decide what laptop I want to buy/construct/recycle to make my lovely portable ubuntu box.

EDITED:
I found out that whenever I run firefox it's a processor resource hog, (100% all the time).. is this normal?

most probably because of flash plugin, it is quite common...which is a sad case given that adobe dont really support linux well enough

i'm trying to get optical sound output from my machine after installing ubuntu 8.04 x64 ... cant seem to find any option on it .. or am i missing anything ?

i dunno why but my clamAv seems weird

er...y u need clamav? unless u need to distribute files to windows users...

anyway, what kind of weirdness?

like broken installation.
i can't find it on the menubar.
have to envoke it from the command prompt.
error when updating.

but seemed to install nicely using apt-get

o, i think u didnt install the gui for gnome search in package manager again on clamav, u should be able to find clamtk, but not sure how effective it is compares to command line version

reli? but commandline envoking it does bring the GUI out

is clamtk installed?

am i able to install ubuntu that is perfectly work in my pc that contain window xp?

can i install ubuntu in another hard disk where i have window xp on another hard disk

dual boot?how?

it is easy to do dual boot if u install linux on another hdd/partition, try not to resize windows xp partition if u do not know what r u doing so, if u wan an easy way out, just get another hdd n install linux on it, during installation it will detect winxp n put tat into boot menu as well.

just remember to put win xp in 1st boot device, win xp isnt tat smart most of the time it wont boot if its not the 1st partition.

hey anyone here using linux mint?

what P2P software do you use?..
frostwire is so slow, and gnutella doesnt connect properly

go for deluge with blocklist plugin enabled, its as good as utorrent but its more

i'm still having power management issues with ubuntu

anyone here having this problem?
i using ubuntu 8.04 (kernel .21)
if i multitasking it will always not respond.
mean when i open firefox,terminal with ping,helix player.
when i want to shutdown / reboot the whole pc will not respond.then i have to reset my pc.
any way i can use like task manager in windows to reboot?

ps.it cant open terminal when the whole pc is not respond.

pls update your system, not just kernel, i believe latest isnt .21.. for safe reboot, press n hold alt+print screen, follow by R + E + I + S + U + B(press them each individually to kill process n unmount disk, n reboot safely)

press n hold alt+print screen, follow by R + E + I + S + U + B(press them each individually to kill process n unmount disk, n reboot safely)
it come out printscreen....
izzit corrent?

ya i did update everything.
the problem still same.
