BTW, Thaodan, I like your computer! I have the E430, and though it doesn't seem as bulletproof as a traditional TP, it still seems a very nice machine.
]]>I installed Arch on my laptop(Leno Thinkpad Edge E530) some days ago my partion layut was the folling:
Drive 1 500GB:
Size Mountpoint Type Comment
1 MB none none for disk alligment
100 MB /boot ext2
30GB / ext4
430GB /home
I think they reason was your partion layout and maybe you don't installed the intel drivers.
]]>I just bought a new laptop , Sansung 300e4x-u09 ,which has intel i3-2328 cpu , NVIDIA GeForce GT 620M graphic card , and 500GB harddisk , 4 GB RAM ( I added 2 GB );
And I installed Archliux x86_64 using the 2012.10.06 install media following "The beginner's guide"
It boots to login manage (I tested slim and kdm) for a long time , and start the kde very slowly even xfce4 also slowly, after installing the intel graphic driver follow wiki , then reboot and startx ,one cpu core used 100% , and the DE(xfce4) starts also slowly , and I can not logout or reboot computer in xfce ( I could do these before intall intel graphic driver ) and the harddisk's led blinks when start DE.
I tested Compiz-fusion , but fails...
I got errors when run "Xorg -configure" as root , it says Server terminated with error (2) , how does this happen .... if you know ,please tell me how to config Xorg correctly .
My harddisk partion (GPT partition table) :
sda1 nofs 2MB for_grub2_core_img
sda2 xfs 50GB /
sda3 xfs 50GB /home
sda4 xfs 115GB
sda5 xfs 100GB
sda6 xfs 100GB
sda7 reiserfs 16GB /var
I used parted live CD to make partitions using default settings.
Now I want to reinstall Arch , I don't know whether the GPT or the 64 bit or the XFS FS affects the GUI speed,I intalled Arch 32bit half year ago ,using MBR partition table on a old PC,it ran fast ,I do not know why this happened on new laptop.
any suggestion on / partition FS , EXT4 or XFS or others ?
how do you get deal with Nvidia card and integrated intel graphic card , just shutdown the Nvidia card ?
any suggestion on optimize arch ?
Thanks
