   Hi   
      
   I have been runnning Ubuntu on a Raspberrypi4 with 8 GB RAM for   
   something like a year and a half. Mostly for checking email and   
   browsing for news when my wife has grabbed the PC. Version of Ubuntu   
   is now 22.04.3 LTS. The system is running on a 128 GB SSD that   
   formerly was main disk in a PC, but became too small.   
   This has been running as you can expect from a Raspberrypi, OK but a   
   litlle slow with browsing the net.   
   Lately it has become unbearably slow. The wifi almost never works. It   
   sees my router (shows the SSID) but seldom connects. This is with the   
   raspberrys integrated wifi, and also with a USB-connected   
   wifi-adapter. The usb-wifi has a control light that does some flashing   
   when establishing connection, and then constant light. This   
   usb-wifi-adapter shows now no light at all when connected to the   
   Raspberry running Ubuntu, but works fine when the raspberry is running   
   Raspberrypi OS from a SD-card. Also works fine when connected to a PC.   
   Cable-connected net works better, but seems much slower than before.   
   I also sometimes sees the cursor lagging behind, but not sure if this   
   os new.   
   This trouble happens only when running the Ubuntu install from SSD.   
   When running Raspberrypi OS everything is up to speed. Browsing works   
   as fast as the Raspberrypi can manage, and I see ip-adresses for   
   cable, integrated wifi and wifi-adapter when all are plugged in. So I   
   think the raspberrypi hardware is OK.   
      
   So a guess is that the SSD has developed bad sectors. Is there a way   
   of running tests for the SSD within Ubuntu? I have not tried to test   
   it from a PC yet. I have an idea that the PC can damage the   
   filesystem, but that is maybe not so?   
   Sorry, but I am not very familliar with Linux, but have of course been   
   using Terminal for commands.   
      
   Any suggestions are most welcome :-)   
      
   Beste regards
