KUBUNTU 7.04 works slowly!

[beartt]

System: P4, RAM 1 Gb
Kubuntu 7.04 installed from DVD.
After installation works very-very slowly.
Why?

Is graphics slow ?

or

Programs are starting slowly ?

Is CPU load high ?
(CPU Load: K menu > Systems > KDE System Guard (KSysguard).)

What graphic driver are you using ?
If you don't know -> look at /etc/X11/xorg.conf (text file) and Section "Device"
or in the konsole:

cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver

Anything of interest in KSysGuard's System Load or Process Table ...?

Re: KUBUNTU 7.04 works slowly!

All the programs start slowly.
CPU is not overloaded.
Works like slow-motion movie.

swapon -s

Re: KUBUNTU 7.04 works slowly!

I'm having the same problem -- system seems to be crawling.

CPU usage hovers around 50%. When I look at the process table, xorg is using 35-45% (VMsize 170,240). Not sure what it means, but the swap -s command yields:
Filename Type Size Used Priority
/dev/hdb5 partition 2000084 0 -1

Would love to get this working so I could stay with Kubuntu. thanks.

Re: KUBUNTU 7.04 works slowly!

CPU usage hovers around 50%.

I think I found the problem. I have a system monitor running in superkaramba (Talv Monitor). If I close the monitor, it drops down to 1% usage. Are there problems with Kubuntu & Superkaramba? I had the same exact monitor theme with Linspire 5.0 and it worked with hardly any CPU usage.
