Why is Ubuntu slow

[Liliana]

Hi friends,

Recently i installed a Ubuntu operating system. It is worth mentioning that the installation is complete, restart, enter the Grub select the operating system (Windows and Linux dual-I system), if direct selection into the Ubuntu 7.10, then i will experience annoying long wait: do not expect the bootsplash should appear in the screen, but up to several minutes of black screen, because there is no prompt, I once thought it was crashed, but just installed the system on the problem is too good. Please suggest. Thanks in advance.

I have solutions for this: You need to go temporary modification Grub boot menu, remove bootsplash. In the first reboot after installing grub, press 'e' to edit Ubuntu 7.10, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic this one
Remove the following red part of the

title Ubuntu 7.10, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic
root (hd0, 1)
kernel / boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root = xxx ro quiet splash
initrd / boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic
quiet

Start saving. Check and reply.

You need to modified usplash.conf. Into the system, start the terminal. First backup the original file usplash.conf

cp-p / etc / usplash.conf ~ / usplash.conf-bak
Changes usplash.conf

sudo gedit / etc / usplash.conf

The file "xres" and "yres" the values in the horizontal and vertical resolution of the display adjust.
Then refresh

sudo update-initramfs-u-k `uname-r`

You need to go install StarUp-Manager. Into the system, start the terminal. First backup the original boot settings file

cp-p / boot / grub / menu.lst ~ / menu.lst-bak & & cp-p / etc / usplash.conf ~ / usplash.conf-bak

Installation Starup-Manager

sudo aptitude install startupmanager
Start Starup-Manager

gksudo startupmanager

According to display resolution and color settings can be the situation, plus you can use this tool to set a background pattern, etc. grub. All the best.

In addition to the problems black screen, the Internet also referred to as boot time automatically scan Windows partition will cause slow start, the solution is as follows:
The implementation of the terminal

sudo gedit / etc / fstab
Vfat and ntfs partitions all last parameter '1 'is amended as '0', such as shown in the following part of the red

# / Dev/hda1
UUID = 0572-13DE / media/hda1 vfat defaults, utf8, umask = 007, gid = 46 0 1

# / Dev/hda5
UUID = 9CE6-3D93 / media/hda5 ntfs defaults, utf8, umask = 007, gid = 46 0 1

Can be saved after exit.
