Re: crunch is too slow -- chrunch va muy lento

Re: crunch is too slow -- chrunch va muy lento

sudo smxi

read the prompts
if you don't want to dist-upgrade and only want to install the graphics, then you can cancel the dist-upgrade,
One of the last steps before you leave the script will give you the opportunity to install graphics,

Personally , I read the warnings and how to fix them (and make notes if they occur), but otherwise let smxi do it's thing.  Usually once you install the video driver, you don't need to reinstall/rebuild unless you update the kernel.

smxi let you do that, too.

Re: crunch is too slow -- chrunch va muy lento

i make sdo smxi, but there's only two options.

1 - shutdown-your-desktop Kill X now. Remember, you will need to log back in, 
    and start smxi again.  
2 - quit-script Quit smxi, don't shut down the current X session or desktop.  
------------------------------------------------------------------ 
Would you like to shutdown your X/Desktop now? 
------------------------------------------------------------------ 
1) shutdown-your-desktop
2) quit-script

i choose the number one, but i don't know if something happend

Re: crunch is too slow -- chrunch va muy lento

smxi runs from init 3 (your desktop is in init 5)

smxi is geared to shutting gdm or kdm.  If you flash back to the gui, then use
alt-f1 to get to a tty (terminal) prompt, login and run it from there.

Re: crunch is too slow -- chrunch va muy lento

^ If the OP can wait 20 minutes or so, I am writing a How To now to address how to install and use smxi

I know the smxi wiki has an excellent install procedure, perhaps I can simplify it by doing a step by step.

^ Did you update your nVidia drivers to the current ones?

Re: crunch is too slow -- chrunch va muy lento

@darayaq
If you just run
sudo smxi
then one of the last steps will ask you if you want to detect and install a video driver.

Re: crunch is too slow -- chrunch va muy lento

You will know if you do. The script explains exactly what it's doing and prompts you for what you want to do.
In the case of video, it's after the full-upgrade (which you can choose not to do)
and it's step 7) continue to graphics. if you have an intel chipset, there's not much you can do, they're built in
If you have nvidia, it will ask you which version of the nvidia driver you want.  I'm not running nvidia on my #! box, but as I recall, there are about 4 to choose from, and I choose something like nvidia-current.  It then builds the driver and tells you what you need to do in order to use it (I can't remember if it does it for you automatically).

The main thing is to read what it (smxi) asks and read it's results.  It's very straight forward.
