Fedora12 is running slow on my ASUS UL80vt
Hi.
I'm new to linux. Yesterday, I installed on my ASUS notebook. cpu : ULV7300 memory : 2GB hdd : 500GB graphic : (built-in and nvidia G210M 512MB) I install it with dual boot (windows7 and fedora). Fedora use 150 GB of my hd. The installation is completed, and I don't know why it is running slow. Here is my partition layout.... ________________ /boot : 300MB /swap : 4096MB /home : 50GB /var : 10GB /usr : 15GB / : the rest ________________ the installation was fine. But the problem starts @ welcome screen. then it slow. I think, it might be some graphic problems... or something. And I don't know what to do and how to do. ........................................... Please...... |
You are aware that fedora 12 is PAST it's End Of Life
and that the support for fedora 12 ended 6 months age . Please stay current . The current version is fedora 15 also BE WARNED Fedora is a bleeding edge , newest of the NEW ,and so on and as such there are many many many bugs .Things may or may not work right. the partition lay out is also a bit "odd" you DO NOT need " /var" or " /usr" nor a 4 gig SWAP ( a 1 to 2 gig is MORE THAN ENOUGH ) also fedora needs a /boot partition bigger than 500 meg for "preupgrade " to work ( 750 meg to 1 gig ) before you delete fedora 12 and install the current Fedora 15 can you post the output of this command -- this way we can help in setting up the install of 15 Code:
su -just copy/paste it here |

before we go to far
You DO have a install dvd for win7 from Microsoft ? right ? Microsoft no longer gives them to the OEM so you need to ask MS for one - there free and can be mailed to you you will just need the activation code on the computer ( a sticker) This is in case you need to reinstall windows . Some times "things happen" so it is best to be safe . the oem's like to put a "win7 recovery partition at the front of the disk ( sda1) most likely sda2 and sda3 -- guessing are windows C:\\ and D:\\ a question on sdb1 ? did you have a usb thumb drive pluged in -- seeing as it is a tiny fat32 drive step 1 you can do this on windows or fedora 12 download fedora 15 dvd and Gparted live cd - a very handy tool to have in your toolbox so is "SystemRescueCD " http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ windows can NOT see, read, or even do anything, with a NON MICROSOFT formatted partition Microsoft will NEVER support something they do not own . 2) use the gparted cd to unformat the LINUX only partitions unformating is just leaving it blank and unused -- gparted is fairly self explanatory and easy to use -- 3) install fedora 15 you might want to just let it use the default settings with ONE EXCEPTION install to the blank part of the drive and not the WHOLE drive the default will put grub on the MBR overwriting MS's bootloader ( the windows 7 install dvd is needed to undo that if needed ) or use a custom layout see the fedora docs fedora 15 install guide http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/...ide/index.html in a custom layout you put grub on the FIRST linux partition and NOT on the mbr -- there is a good reason for this , but it is complicated . -- so do some research this is an example of a custom for your laptop ( one i would use if installing to it) ---------------- sda1 -\ sda2 ---- windows sda3 -/ --- extended there can only be 4 primary --- sda5 /boot - 750 meg ( a bit big but "preupgrade" will NEED IT ) sda6 SWAP 2 gig sda7 /home 5 to 10 gig sda8 / -- the rest of the drive ---------------- fedora has no problem reading and writing to windows NTFS partitions so you can save things like music and videos there BUT windows will NEVER be able to read fedoras "ext4" partitions. |
Thank you very much ....
I'll try to find fedora15 and install them. ....... |
