[SOLVED] Lubuntu 17.10 very slow on Asus A52JE-EX174V

Hello
I have a problem with this laptop: Asus A52JE-EX174V.
Dual boot with windows 10 and Lubuntu 17.10.

Probably I made a mistake when I made the partitions:

The firsts two windows 10
the second root primary
the third extended with swap, boot, home.

Code:

Also there are this conflicts but I don't know if there is a correlations:

Thank you for any suggestions

Can you try version 18.04?

cokiere · 06-15-2018, 06:59 AM

Hello
Yes, I can install the 18.04 version. The laptop it's not mine. They are two elderly people. I teach them how to use it.
I'd like to know if it's a problem of superblock. I mean, different file system. I say this because It's not the first time that I see a dual boot with windows 10 very slow.
thanks

You could probably use ps or top to ID any resource hogs. But it sounds more like special hardware the might need kernel flags like nomodeset or noapic type things. Or not. When I start my system(s), my first steps is to stop services that I'm not currently using. Like cups, bluetooth, ModemManager, wpa, avahi-daemon, fuse, nfs, samba, sometimes even atd and cron. Although the later so my game performance doesn't bog when a scheduled task launches mid-game.

If it's older hardware, it could be a RAM issue to. To little of it, and swap tendencies. Stopping things like I do, and changing the swappiness value can help greatly. But browsers and websites aren't exactly getting leaner and meaner. With various networking quirks that are perceived as performance issues, when it has nothing to do with the performance of the client hardware. Having been on dialup a decade longer than I should have been, many of todays sites would take literally an hour before they "started" rendering over a dialup speed. I still have a bit of disdain for AKG microphones for being one of those early media rich sites while I was still on dialup and in the market. Lots of possibilities, especially now that our phones out-spec our decade old desktops.

You could use nmon for the CPU monitor "lowercase L" which breaks things down a bit to "w" for waiting (disk I/O) (blue). Plus "s" for system (kernel things) (red). If those are significant, then perhaps superblock is near target. If it's all yellow then something else is using resources (CPU).

Its very well said. I can learn this very easily depending on this post.

AwesomeMachine · 06-17-2018, 12:23 PM

If you could post the output of df -h it would be helpful.

Hello
the problem was the hard disk with 2015 bad sectors.
forgive me for my delay.
thanks to everyone
