Thanks for the fix. Although not critical, this was a really annoying bug. Another method that worked for me was closing Firefox before upgrading. -- MASTER - firefox (intrepid): "your browser has been updated and needs to be restarted" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/270303 You received this b

JanCeuleers: Your solution works! My setup is similar to yours. I have a nVidia mainboard SATA controller with the system disk and spare connected, and a Promise TX4 SATA PCI card with four disks hosting a RAID5 volume. I added the modules sata_nv and sata_promise to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules,

NVidia users may find enabling some performance options will help. The nVidia forum suggests putting these in the Screen section of xorg.conf: Option "PixmapCacheSize" "100" Option "AllowSHMPixmaps" "0" Then run this after X has started: # nvidia-settings -a InitialPixmapPlacement=2 -a GlyphC

This problem is also evident with a clean 8.10 64-bit install on a Dell Latitude E6400 laptop with nVidia Quadro 160M (using 177.80 driver). Xorg, firefox and compiz are all using more cpu than they should when completely idle. Xorg is the worst offender and can use a full cpu core when scrolling

I can confirm this problem on Ubuntu Server 8.04. I have the same RAID5 configuration as the reporter (4 active disks, 1 spare). In my case the spare isn't added to the array on boot no matter what changes are made to mdadm.conf. Stating the devices explicitly doesn't help. $ cat /etc/mdadm/mdad

2008-10-08 Thread Bjorn Ruud
It's been a while, but if I recall correctly all network traffic was affected. Viewing the system monitor network graph showed that the traffic for a single file transfer had bursts of speed on regular intervals. It looked like it was oscillating. Sadly I can't do more tests as I don't have a 7.10

2008-09-15 Thread Bjorn Ruud
That's what I'm saying. The snmp user, which is the default user for the snmpd service, doesn't have permission. Reading interface speed fails with the standard package installation. Isn't that a bug? Is there a way to give the snmp user the permissions it needs without giving it too much access?
