Slow SUSE

joney_bravo · 08-17-2004, 05:37 PM

It take suse for ever to boot once it enters into kde. Then once everything loads, and I try to go on the internet, it will surf for loke 5 minutes and then the internet will stop working.

Any ideas on what is causing this?

thanks

You may be swapping. Use the free command to check your memory and swap usage. Just type in:
free

I had problems like that too. Only I booted into KDE fine, and opened my first program with no problems. Then when I opened something else, everything started taking 5 minutes to load.

Now I'm using Slackware. :-) Probably not the best way to fix something

yast is horribly slow. the difference between YOU and apt is night and day.

Mabye they will fix it in upcoming versions of SUSE, because either than that problem everything else is great. By the way For some reason that hasn't happened lately. I wonder why?

Anywayse thanks for your input
