[Dx-packages] [Bug 1598770] Re: Unity in low-graphics mode has animations and unneeded redraws

[Plurtu]

I have the same problem with ccsm, don't know why the lowgfx profile
doesn't show but you can manually import it from /etc/compizconfig
/unity-lowgfx.ini.

  [Impact]

  When unity is in Low graphics mode (because of software rendering)
  there are still window animations and fade effects which we should get
  rid of.

  
  [Test case]

  This should apply naturally to a (virtual-)machine with no hardware
  acceleration or There are multiple ways to force low-gfx mode:

  1) Add an upstart job such as:

  cat << EOF > ~/.config/upstart/lowgfx.conf
  start on starting unity7

  pre-start script
#initctl set-env --global UNITY_LOW_GFX_MODE=1
initctl set-env --global LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1
  end script
  EOF 

  
  2) Run unity with:
 COMPIZ_CONFIG_PROFILE=ubuntu-lowgfx

  On login unity should use opaque views (dash, switcher, launcher,
  shortcut-dialogs) with no fading and reduced effects. Windows should
  also use smaller shadows.

  
  [Regression potential]

  Some settings from unity-control-center couldn't be applied to normal
  profile. Low graphics mode might be used as normal one.

[Dx-packages] [Bug 1598770] Re: Unity in low-graphics mode has animations and unneeded redraws

[Plurtu]

Why does the GUI update-manager not update to the latest compiz package?
I noticed the unity package updated and has unity7.conf which tries to
use the compiz profile "unity-lowgfx" but it doesn't exist because
compiz is still at version 20160526. sudo apt-get upgrade/dist-upgrade
both detect and install the new compiz package but not update-manager.

  [Impact]

  When unity is in Low graphics mode (because of software rendering)
  there are still window animations and fade effects which we should get
  rid of.

  
  [Test case]

  This should apply naturally to a (virtual-)machine with no hardware
  acceleration or There are multiple ways to force low-gfx mode:

  1) Add an upstart job such as:

  cat << EOF > ~/.config/upstart/lowgfx.conf
  start on starting unity7

  pre-start script
#initctl set-env --global UNITY_LOW_GFX_MODE=1
initctl set-env --global LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1
  end script
  EOF 

  
  2) Run unity with:
 COMPIZ_CONFIG_PROFILE=ubuntu-lowgfx

  On login unity should use opaque views (dash, switcher, launcher,
  shortcut-dialogs) with no fading and reduced effects. Windows should
  also use smaller shadows.

  
  [Regression potential]

  Some settings from unity-control-center couldn't be applied to normal
  profile. Low graphics mode might be used as normal one.

Hi I'm not running in Low GFX mode but dash and switcher are opaque, how
can I re enable transparency for dash and switcher?

[Dx-packages] [Bug 1598770] Re: Unity in low-graphics mode has animations and unneeded redraws

[Jason Gerard DeRose]

Here's another screenshot that shows the SegvAnalysis.

In my testing thus far, this failure (assuming it's related to this
unity/nux change) only seems to happen when trying to install under
qemu. I tried -vga qxl, -vga std, and -vga virtio... none of them yield
a working installation. Compiz always fails to start.

[Dx-packages] [Bug 1598770] Re: Unity in low-graphics mode has animations and unneeded redraws

[Jason Gerard DeRose]

Possibly as a result of this change, unity/compiz is failing to start
when trying to install from the latest 16.04.1 daily ISO under qemu
(xenial-desktop-amd64.iso 20160713, sha1sum
c9b1ad9b1044c4e68684395daa3f85e016491c3a).

I attached a screenshot as I couldn't file a bug from within the qemu VM
(apport doesn't seem able to launch firefox).

You also have to run unity-control-center with that environment
variable:

  COMPIZ_CONFIG_PROFILE=ubuntu-lowgfx unity-control-center

This is automatic when this is forced with upstart, otherwise you've to
do it by hand.

I've forced the lowgfx setting with command from comment #9 and the fade
in fade out animations are gone.

But I can't change the launcher icons size. The slider in control center
isn't working. Also The workspace switcher can't be enabled and it
disapeared from launcher. I have it enabled in regular gfx.

This is the version of unity-control-center:
15.04.0+16.04.20160705-0ubuntu1

Ensure that unity-control-center is updated in your machine too. There's
a SRU for that too.

Also, the lowgfx setting in CCSM isn't enough for doing a full testing.

You can also force it by running

COMPIZ_CONFIG_PROFILE=ubuntu-lowgfx compiz --replace

  [Impact]

  When unity is in Low graphics mode (because of software rendering)
  there are still window animations and fade effects which we should get
  rid of.

  
  [Test case]

  This should apply naturally to a (virtual-)machine with no hardware
  acceleration or There are multiple ways to force low-gfx mode:

  1) Add an upstart job such as:

  cat << EOF > ~/.config/upstart/lowgfx.conf
  start on starting unity7

  pre-start script
#initctl set-env --global UNITY_LOW_GFX_MODE=1
initctl set-env --global LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1
  end script
  EOF 

  
  2) Run unity with:
 COMPIZ_CONFIG_PROFILE=ubuntu-lowgfx

  On login unity should use opaque views (dash, switcher, launcher,
  shortcut-dialogs) with no fading and reduced effects. Windows should
  also use smaller shadows.

  
  [Regression potential]

  Some settings from unity-control-center couldn't be applied to normal
  profile. Low graphics mode might be used as normal one.

[Dx-packages] [Bug 1598770] Re: Unity in low-graphics mode has animations and unneeded redraws

[Mateusz Stachowski]

I tested it on my default install by enabling lowgfx through CCSM.

It did switch off all transparency effects. Also there are no preview
animations in Dash but I still have fade in and fade out animation for
showing windows (Super+W).

In my testing using virtual machine that animation was disabled so I
guess it works as intended. Also in virtual machine I can't enable
workspaces.
