Hello to you all.

Hardware issues post here please.

For some reason Ultimate Edition is not seeing my windows partition? Any way I can fix that?

[nynoah]

Wait I fixed it or found it. It is different that before. I went into System, administrator, disk utility. I then noticed that this time I had named it /windows. Which I was thinking would mount it like before. (I run a custom hard drive partition map so my "/" is separate from my "/home"). So I opened it up that way and then added it to my places on the Left side area.

All fixed..... Hope this helps someone out too.

You can try to use the "legacy" mode-switching method in the "Device" section of /etc/xorg.conf:

Section "Device"
Driver "openchrome"
Option "ModeSwitchMethod" "legacy"
EndSection

Hi,

I open system monitor our management (I dont know how it is called in english) and there shows that CPU1 - 42% CPU2 - 40%

Without running nothing in my computer the system use 42% of my processor capacity??? I'm using a HP Notebook Turion64x2 2.0Ghz, and 2gb ram. A good computer. Using windows 7 (which I guess is much more heavy than Ultimate Edition) my processor usage stay about 2- 6% without any program open. 32% is a very high difference... and for worst!

How could be the problem?

I work for HP and deal with this type of computer on a daily basis. I dont believe its the fact that it is linux as it is your settings or 'extra features' and extra services running in the background need to be turned of. There are things like print spooling, bluetooth and other checks that you may not need monitoring and functioning in the background just like using msconfig and services.msc within windows. The ultimate edition to me means FULLY LOADED and you may not need all the features it has to offer. If you installed a clean untouched version of ubuntu it would read differently than the ultimate edition. If you go to your startup applications setting you can edit your startup list and see what services and programs load up and run in the background.

How can I do that?
