When I try to upgrade a box comes up telling me that it is going to take several hours- I click, then go to bed after all the fetching files is completed. However the computer switches itself off after a period of time, so the upgrade is never completed. Can someone help? Caroline-London School of

Does any one else have a problem with printing? For no obvious reason I am unable to print from a Windows box which is connected via wireless to my Ubuntu machine and the printer works OK from the Ubuntu machine. I changed recently to 7.10 and I think there were some changes to Cups today. Please

You don't have to if all you want is a CPU usage monitor. I find the most useful ones to be processor, memory, network and load. Regards, Tom STONE COLD wrote: sorry i thought frequency scaling was basically monitoring the cpu load..hmmm ill add the system monitor applet...! out of interest

If you are looking for a general CPU usage monitor, add the System Monitor applet and deselect the memory and swap/load monitors. CPU frequency scaling is something different. Regards, Tom STONE COLD wrote: ok so its not reliable...ill set it up in frequency! is there an alternative to thi

Hi, I assume you mean the CPU frequency scaling monitor? This doesn't monitor CPU activity per se, it's for use with mobile processors with Speedstep technology. When the CPU isn't being maxed out it will run at a lower clock speed to save energy (to extend battery life) - mine flips between
