Ok so I managed to get through my dependency woes. I figured out that there are two packages that are architecture agnostic and those .deb files are only on the i386 files so I got the kde-workspace and kde- workspace-data .deb files from there and all is now good.
So now I have kde-workspace 4.9.0 and mesa 9.0 installed and I can verify that the desktop effects are still very slow. I haven't seen the rendering artifacts (the white lines as in the screenshot attached to this bug) however but those appear sporadically so I can't say for sure that they're gone or whether they just haven't appeared for me. I will take a look at downgrading mesa step by step next. Will report back. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kde-workspace in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1061073 Title: Desktop effects are slow and desktop corruption using mesa 9 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mesa/+bug/1061073/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
