Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu 11.10 Experience
Well, here's my apreciation: the performance has taken a significant hit. > My old laptop (PIII with 256MB Ram) was suffering with the ram consumtion in 11.04 (starting the system hits the 120MB of Ram). So, i've installed 11.10 and oh surprise! with pidgin and xpad running the consumption is less than 80MB of Ram!! (74 to be exact). Opening Chromium and the Ram is in 115 - less than 11.04 running alone. IMO, 11.10 boots slower > Can't agree, since the boot for me is incredibly fast (less than 30 seconds). But i've read that 11.10 in general boots slower than previous releases, so it's not a lubuntu-only problem. seems to lag on any screen click > Maybe you should try to change the theme :) I'm very sorry to tell, but there's something with the theme in this release too, that makes the "flying over menus" a little hard. I've switch to clearlooks and gained a little of speed. The perfect example is to use mtpaint with the default theme... it's quite a pain. Takes longer to launch applications > Can't see any real difference there. I must agree with Rob that the whole system seems to be slow (i'm comparing it to 10.04 that on "my old laptop" was fast as the lightning) , even if the Ram consumption has became less than ever. But i'm testing it on a more than 10 years old piece of hardware! But hey Rob, just try the other flavors of ubuntu... Ubuntu barelly runs on my other machines (lots newer than my old laptop). So I'm guessing that Lubuntu gets his job done: it's the fastest *buntu in the market :) -- jpxsat ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Boot is a problem for all Ubuntu releases, and work will be done in 12.04 to improve the situation. For the lag, are you using xcompmgr for your tests ? Do you test without it ? Maybe it's a driver regression using xcompmgr (and so compositing).

[Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu 11.10 Experience
Greetings, I know you guys have a lot of release-ciritical issues to deal with. However, I would like to pass on to you my recent experience with the 11.10 release. Initially, I installed 11.04 Lubuntu on my Gateway netbook and was very surprised and delighted with the experience. It was very fast, clean, professional, and functional. I installed the Cairo dock and was very happy. Then I upgraded the netbook to 11.10 and it all changed. First of all, the Cairo dock has a bug (fails to detect that xcompmgr is running) so I can't use it (not your problem I know). Second, the performance has taken a significant hit. IMO, 11.10 boots slower, and seems to lag on any screen click. Takes longer to launch applications, etc. Thinking it was an upgrade issue I did a clean install and experienced the same behavior. Also, as a minor point and I know this is really subjective and can be changed, but 11.04 had a better color for its default theme, blue top with white letters. It was really classy. So, I have gone back to 11.04 on my netbook and now run Lubuntu 11.04 and 11.10 in Virtualbox to do testing. Even in that environment I can notice the difference in performance between the two releases. I understand that you guys do packaging and that the basic Ubuntu release is out of your hands. 2 cents. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
