Public bug reported: Binary package hint: vnc-common
Hi, I am running Feisty. I enabled VNC on my laptop so that I can view its screen when I am at a school computer, I used the System->Preferences->Remote Desktop tool and enabled VNC. I could connect from school to my laptop with no problem, however when returning home, with no connection active to my laptop, I found that just having the VNC server running in background with no connections to it, it makes my desktop slow. I especially noticed that switching tabs in Firefox could take 2 seconds without an exception. Not sure about other apps, from graphical apps I use mostly Firefox, so that's what I noticed. When I turned VNC off, the problem was immediately solved, Firefox started to be responsive again (I think I had to log out and log in at least). So, now I don't use VNC, because while it makes it possible to view remotely my desktop, it makes my desktop nearly unusable when I am working with it locally. Happens on Feisty x86, graphics card ATI Mobility X1450, using fglrx driver installed by restricted drivers manager (8.34). ** Affects: vnc (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- very slow local desktop with VNC server on and no VNC connection https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/113700 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
