ubuntu server 10 - slow and can't remove desktop environment
- by Alex
i'm running ubuntu server 10.10 with the desktop environment.
simple page requests are taking over 5 seconds even when connecting to the server through our local network.
i believe this is partially related to having the desktop environment installed, as the server worked faster (but not as fast as it should considering that it's on the local network), but tasksel fails every time (aptitude failed 100). my knowledge of networking and linux in general is limited. would really appreciate ideas on how i can troubleshoot this problem.
oh also, in the system monitor, one of the processors is almost always around 100%. i doubt this is normal too....
