    Dual Core Woe's

    I upgraded last week from Fiesty to 7.10 Gutsy on my Dell Latitude D820. In Fiesty both core's of my dual core cpu worked. Now Gutsy on see's one core. In the system monitor it show's core 0 but no core 1. It used to have a core 1. I've searched but found very little. Anyone know what may be causing this?

    What does
    Code:
    uname -a
    return?

    On my Intel Core 2 Extreme, I get:

    Linux kgutsy 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Sun Oct 14 21:45:15 GMT 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux
    I think the "SMP" is real significant, wrt running dual cores.

        Yep, well, like I said .... "SMP is real significant". You don't have a SMP kernel running, so it's not gonna run both cores. :P

        Open Adept Manager, and take a look at the Linux kernels that are available. The "-generic" should do the trick for you, same as me.

            Can you play two solitaire games at once, now?
