Yes problem solved. Computer now boots as it should (i.e. 1minute and not 5-6 minutes!) and doesn't hammer the slow hard drive (which resulted in slowing the entire computer down)
It was definitely something to do with window managers/some sort of caching/compiz/etc As mentioned previously, it all happened after I messed with compiz settings. (I still have the faulty install in my boot loader if I want to load into it to tinker) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/818016 Title: PC has 1gb of Ram but Ubuntu 11.04 Full starts using 800mb = Slow computer To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/818016/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
