Problem exists on 2 systems Work: P4 3.ghz 1gb ram, used both onboard videocard, and pci nvidia. Slow on both, even with turning off desktop effects and following modifications suggested to fix it. 32bit Suse 11.1 HOme: AMD 64 3200+ (32bit suse) and 1gb RAM, nvidia 6200 AGP. This setup runs games like civ4, farcry, perfectly with winxp, but web surfing and such is to much for it.
Both systems are more than enough to run openSUSE smoothly. The first thing that comes to mind.. Beagle and Nepomuk (if you're running KDE4). These desktop indexers might be the source of the problem. If they are both indexing things, you may see significant performance impact - especially from Nepomuk (Beagle is a LOT better now than it used to be). The impact from indexing (if this is the source of the problem) will be reduced significantly once the initial indexing is complete. Stop the Beagle daemon if it's running, and stop the Nepomuk indexer (if you're using KDE4). Test again and see if you have any performance increase.
Web surfing brings the system to a crawl! I see Xorg and firefox (or opera) seam to be eating the cpu time. I can't even scroll up down, but the whole system is suffering under this light load.
Hmmmm... this is on a default 11.1 install? Have you done all updates? Have you added any new repos? Have you installed the community repos and updated from that? C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
