System seems slow after kernel update!

Try reinstalling the nvidia driver. Can you give the output of:

dpkg -l | grep nvidia

Thanks

Thanks to actionparsnip! re-installed my nvidia driver and all is good again!! Why didn't I think of that!!

Thanks again

Pete

Sometimes they dont survive the upgrade. Did you use the repositories or the .run file from the nvidia site?

Hi,
Used <system, hardware drivers> un installed restarted then re-installed the same way, and restarted again

thanks again, just goes to show 2 brains are better than 1 !!

Hi dont know if i should do this but the problem has appeared again here's my results of dpkg -l | grep nvidia

I know this thread is solved but the same issue has started again!

hi,
just noticed my cpu is running at 97-98% with nothing running except ktorrent, amsn & system monitor is this right, surely not!!

nothing shows in system monitor as using cpu except ktorrent showing a value of 1.

also sound in games such as foobillards is delayed, I take my shot and as i'm lining the next shot up the sound of me playing the first ball is played?

tried restarting (no difference) and re-re-installing the nvidia driver with no joy

think i may be onto something with the cpu usage issue but cannot find out what is using all my umph is there a terminal command that will show what is using cpu as it is not showing in system monitor?

Can you give a copy of the output of:

top

Thanks

hi, certainly here it is......

many thanks all solved although foobillards is still on the fritx but i think i shall completely remove and then re-install it that hopefully will resolve that one!

is aplay the media player that plays music files if you 'hover' your mouse over them? if so then why was it still running? I'll look into that one as well.

thanks again all back to normal!

regards

Pete
