Hi,
A bit embarrassing as I thought I knew how to use Ubuntu until I stumble on a basic task!
I have named a connection I added to the bookmarks on the Places menu incorrectly and I have no idea how to edit it!
Thanks.
I just installed a frech copy of Ubuntu 12.04 on my vps because my old installation was very slow, unfortunately this did not fix the problem.
With slow I mean requests for my PHP websites take a long time, very slow (30 sec per request) to slow (3+ sec per request). When it's really bad SSH is also laggish.
The websites are:
askmike.org (pretty standard Wordpress)
mvr.me (own PHP)
slow?
very slow: Here is a picture of loading a clean install of wordpress
slow: here is a picture of loading a small PHP based website
the vps
The VPS has 256mb ram and an 25GB hdd. Besides serving the 2 small websites it isn't doing anything AFAIK.
What have I installed
Clean Ubuntu server 12.04
LAMP stack
few things like git and nodejs (not using both)
ossec (because I thought my server was getting hammered)
munin
What I already tried / done
I installed munin so that I could watch io speed and such. The problem is that I don't know where to look for in the munin report.
I checked logs and don't see anything strange (although I don't really know where to look for besides strange / repetitive errors and GET requests).
I configured Apache MPM to:
<IfModule mpm_prefork_module>
StartServers 5
MinSpareServers 5
MaxSpareServers 10
MaxClients 40
MaxRequestsPerChild 0
</IfModule>
(apache is using prefork, the default)
Stats
I copied the munin report as it appeared at 4:50 last night to a site hosted on a shared webhost. Note that tonight my mysql crashed somewhere after 1:00 (which is a new problem altogether), so therefor the graph for last night might look strange.
Can anyone help me get my VPS up to normal speed?
EDIT:
Thanks for the replies.
The VPS is 10 bucks a month and is from directvps.nl (Dutch host and I'm also dutch).
I did two speed tests for disk IO:
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 23.1506 s, 46.4 MB/s
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 39.3796 s, 27.3 MB/s
Anyway: how can I prove to my VPS host that it is to slow? I can understand a server being busy slowing a website down. But 5-30 sec loadtime for a normal PHP webpage?

Hi guys,
This is a bit of a silly question, how do I run Thunderbird 3 which I downloaded? Well, I can get it to run by executing the 'thunderbird' shell script file. However that creates a terminal windows aswell and will close Thunderbird if it is closed.
How do I get it to open without the terminal?
Thanks.
Edit: I am running Ubuntu 9.10.

I have a new computer with an Asus P8Z68-V LE + Intel i2500 + 8GB of RAM.
I installed Ubuntu without any issue, but the USB3 (from the motherboard - on the back of the computer) doesn't work.
I plug a USB stick -- nothing, I plug my USB3 external drive -- nothing, when I plug them into the USB2 and everything works perfectly.
Also, I ran all updates and everything is up to date.
What am I missing?
Hi,
Im relatively new to Ubuntu, Im wondering how easy it is to write what I think is called a shell script to make tasks a little easier.
For example I frequently connect to a server - ssh -p 123 [email protected]
Can and how could I shorten this to a shorter command like "mysite" or "connect mysite"
Thanks.
Hi Guys,

I am trying to paste some files from my laptop to desktop. both have ubuntu. From the laptop I can see the desktop under Places - Network. I can see the files in the Desktop but when I try to paste a file it says "permission denied"

Mac and Windows Vista have such pretty user interfaces with all the transparencies and stuff. Is there anything for Ubuntu Linux to improve the way it looks?
Hi.
I've just made the switch to Ubuntu on my main PC and I've been looking for a media player that can:
Play all the usual video formats
Rate (and ideally, tag) each file
Display thumbnails for each file
Other than that there isn't much I'm after.
Banshee comes close, but doesn't display thumbnails.
I've Google'd lots but I'm running out of search terms to try.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Cheers!
I'm using VMware Studio 2 to create virtual appliances.
Now we want to make an appliance of a 64 bit Ubuntu distro, but it's not in the template list, like Redhat 64bit and CentOS 64bit.
Is there a way to do this?
I have read this article:
https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/user-management.html
But it doesn't go into depth with the privileges section.
I need to know how to set privileges of me (as a user).
I am the only user, but I want access to everything, but I don't want to manage my VPS logged in as root. So I am creating a username.
Anybody have a list of privileges, what they mean and how to set them?
Thanks
Hi everyone,
Im just wondering what everyone's experiences are with the latest Ubuntu 10.04 version? Is it stable enough for a working environment?
I require it for web development, so using VMs, IDEs, connecting to VPNs, SSH to servers, etc.
Im currently using 9.04 and found 9.10 unstable and problematic at times (such as problems connecting to VPN)
Any input would be appreciated, thanks!
