judt installed the kbunto but as i log in it tells me that i m running in slow space it goves the options to run the file manager have no clue about what that is Help me please.

How much space does Kubuntu have? How much RAM have you got?

Open the Terminal (that thing like a black tv screen), type df and you'll see how much space is used. Maybe you'll have to give Kubuntu more space then.

Ok well i did that and it showed the info and i needs to give Kubuntu more space how do do that? also how do i check how much ram i got? Thank you for all your support. I really like Linux I m reading as much as I can to figure this out.

You'll need to use a program called Gparted, it shows your partitions and delete, create or resizes them. Go to your menu and try to find in the 'system tools' (I don't use Kubuntu, so I use some generic terms) this Gparted. Also try to find something like 'hardware info' to see how much RAM you have. If you don't find Gparted, you'll find it 'for sure' in the Kubuntu cd. So you run it (if you run it from cd there's no problem, but if you run from the system, when you open Gparted you select 'linux swap', right-click it and select 'swap off', then you'll be able to resize your partition). All this assumes you have more space in the hd, like a Windows partition. Then you'll have to make the other partition next to your Kubuntu one smaller first and then enlarge your Kubuntu one. If you're gonna shrink a Windows partition, first enter Windows, defragment it and backup your important files, then go back to Gparted for shrinking it and making your Kubuntu partition larger. Now for the RAM. If you don't find how much you have, go to the Terminal (in Kubuntu it's called Konsole) and type 'sudo apt-get install lshw', then after its installed type 'sudo lshw'. Check the results and see what it says in '-memory'. [Modified by: wuy on May 10, 2009 04:56 PM]
