[Bug 210646] Re: After xorg and gtk updates many programs run extremely slow
Andrew, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ . If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications-Accessories-Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xorg-server REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Thank you for your understanding.

[Bug 210646] Re: After xorg and gtk updates many programs run extremely slow
I have the same problem with Hardy release. Mouse cursor moves jerky, desktop applications work slowly, but if I run any fullscreen application (like OpenTTD or Tuxracer) everything works fine in this particular application. The compiz 'water' plugin (the one with the rain drops effect) also seems to affect this bug. I tried enabling/disabling compiz, switched between drivers 'nvidia', 'nv' and 'vesa', tried several mouses, disabled network interface - none of these helped. So far I can blame either xserver or linux kernel for this bug. ** Changed in: xorg-server (Ubuntu) Status: New = Confirmed -- After xorg and gtk updates many programs run extremely slow https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/210646 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 210646] Re: After xorg and gtk updates many programs run extremely slow
I just installed a lot of patches today that included the kernel, nvidia, libc6, etc. and I am still having the problem. I am getting quite frustrated as it has been a week and I can't really use my computer. I am not trying to vent, but I am debating removing Hardy and going back to Gutsy which at least runs or switching from Hardy amd64 to i386. I really want to stick this through, but I am not sure what to even debug. I have been trying to reproduce the problem with some python GTK widgets with no luck. I do not know why some programs are really slow, but others not. Most are X programs, mostly GTK, but not all. My upsmon is still timing out connecting to upsd as well as knutclient. So if this is the same problem, it is not just a GUI issue. I am open for any advise on what to try and am willing to provide just about any information, anything is better than no ideas.

[Bug 210646] Re: After xorg and gtk updates many programs run extremely slow
Hallelulah! I found the problem and the programs affected can be cleared from this bug probably. After some internet searching I found this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=317489 A simple sudo ifdown eth0 fixes the problem. Obviously not a solution, but the problem is definitely something with the ethernet. BTW, on Gutsy, my network card was eth1, not eth0. You can close the bug for these programs and I will create a new one if I can find more details on why the ethernet card is interfering with applications.

I used dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, modprobe -r nvidia and then ran xserver in safe mode.

[Bug 210646] Re: After xorg and gtk updates many programs run extremely slow
Last night I attempted to reproduce the problem using the live CD I booted from the Hardy beta amd64 install CD and used the run option under safe graphics mode (had to use safe as it looks like it was trying to use the nv driver which doesn't work with DVI). I was unable to reproduce the problem. I even used synaptic to apply all current updates (some had errors though) and still could not reproduce the problem. So it is not the computer or hardy in general. I will have to try using the standard driver instead of the nvidia binary (is the driver name vesa?) and I will report back on those findings. -- After xorg and gtk updates many programs run extremely slow https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/210646 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

** Also affects: glade-3 Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: gtk+2.0 (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: None = gtk+2.0 ** Description changed: It is hard to describe what exactly is the problem, but on a newly rebuilt machine some things are darned slow. I just rebuilt my Gutsy i386 machine as Hardy Beta amd64 using the xubuntu distro. flavor. Everything at that time seemed relatively okay, but I have not been running it long to say for sure. Yesterday (or Sunday morning - the 30), I installed the latest updates through apt, and I am having a lot of problems, all of which are hard to point a finger at. I cannot remember the exact packages that were upgraded, but I have attempted to rebuild the list from the apt log file (see below). I am seeing not only some X instability (a lot of crash dialogs popping up), but some general slowness problems. For example, nut-cgi requests to a running upsd on the same box keep timing out, but I cannot see any log information that would hint for what is going on. On xfce4 startup, I launch mail-notification. It takes about 5 min for the icon to show up in the system tray. If I start mail-notification from the command-line, it runs with no output, but the UI just does not come up for a very long time. I am not running compiz at the moment, so despite its upgrade it should not be having an effect to my knowledge.

All my other problems seem to be with the UI. When I did the above upgrades, my Xfce4 sessions were corrupted. xfce4-panel would no longer start automatically, and when it did start all my icons were missing. I had to purge my .local, .cache and .config user directories to repair things. Furthermore, other tray icons were having problems. For example, knotes would start a little window instead of creating the tray icon. The same problem happened with knutclient. It seems as if it may be gtk related, but I am not sure at all. Most of the slowness all happens around the tray icons. After starting a new xfce session with those local folders deleted, knotes and other k* tray icons start fine, but mail-notification is still really slow. - Anyone have an idea of what is going on or similar experiences? If you - have similar experiences, are you on amd64 too, or is this also - happening on i386? + Here are some more programs that are unusably slow at the moment: - Thank you, - Andrew + mail-notification + archive manager + gweled + meld + aisleriot solitare + blackjack + gnu chess + five or more + four in a row + freecell solitare + glade-3 + etc. ** Also affects: xorg-server (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Attachment added: Xorg log, not sure if it helps though http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13040876/Xorg.0.log ** Description changed: It is hard to describe what exactly is the problem, but on a newly rebuilt machine some things are darned slow.
