Re: [Evolution] Evolution email really slow
Hi Thank you for the replies. I have tried the suggestions but no joy. I have also re-installed Ubuntu and Evolution and of course, that worked a treat. Unfortunately, it has started again. This after adding a signature but again , this worked with signature before. Any other ideas really welcome -Graham On Fri, 21 Jun 2019 at 12:19, wrote: > Hi > My first time on here and hope I'm doing the right thing. > > I've been using Evolution for years.

So if you had a "clean install" lately then you deliberately chose ancient software and might find better expertise in some Ubuntu forum. andre -- Andre Klapper | ak...@gmx.net https://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper/ ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

The last time that I saw this was on a Linux system with an Nvidia GPU and it was not running the Nvidia binary drivers. The open source Nouveau drivers are very hit-and-miss. They often seem to work, but are unable to raise the card's GPU or memory clock which makes the performance really terrible. The VESA compatible drivers are even worse. If that might be affecting you then either install the Nvidia binaries, which should actually be easy with Ubuntu, or use the Intel iGPU if you have one and completely disable the Nvidia GPU by blacklisting the Nouveau driver. The only other thing I could guess at is that since Evolution uses KHTML (I think?) as its display and editor it uses more CPU than a regular text editor like gedit. If for some reason you are on a laptop and you intentionally locked down the clock speed to, say, 800 MHz for battery reasons then you can get behavior like very slow text editing. I know that I have seen Gnome / MATE plugins and widgets for controlling CPU clocks. Maybe you installed one of those and didn't realize you left it set to Power Save, Minimum, 800 MHz, etc. -- Knowledge is Power -- Power Corrupts Study Hard -- Be Evil ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

Hi, it depends on several factors, one being version of the Evolution (Help->About menu), another WebKitGTK+ version. There can be more factors involved. Sometimes, long time ago, there could be a problem with spell checking, thus I'd try to disable it. You can do that either in Edit->Preferences->Composer Preferences->Spell Checking tab->Check spelling while I type, at the bottom of that tab, or by deselecting all the languages in the message composer in Edit->Current Languages menu.

[Evolution] Evolution email really slow
Hi My first time on here and hope I'm doing the right thing. I've been using Evolution for years. I recently did a clean install of Ubuntu mate and Evolution. When typing an email there is a significant lag to the characters showing on screen. Any advice on what to do?
