[Desktop-packages] [Bug 990997] Re: Firefox interface is horribly laggy in a variety of situations, with delayed scrolling and typing
As has been pointed out above, these problems are triggered in a variety of situations. But for me, the most common culprits have been unwanted scripts running in the background. I've found that running "NoScript Security Suite" helps immensely. "NoScript Security Suite" can be found here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noscript/ After activating NoScript, you'll need to allow certain scripts to run for some sites to function properly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/990997 Title: Firefox interface is horribly laggy in a variety of situations, with delayed scrolling and typing Status in Mozilla Firefox: New Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Typing is extremely slow in typing in multiline fields.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1432492] Re: Firefox and Thunderbird freezes entire system after a few seconds of use
Hi Dave, I uploaded some screen captures that paint a better picture of what's going on. Please see the attachments to my above comments. You suggested that I attempt to ssh into the frozen VM and, if possible, look at relevant logs. I was able to access my VM when its desktop was frozen, but honestly, I don't know what logs I should be looking for. I did, however, run top and noticed that one root process was at over 100% cpu usage while the desktop was frozen. Please see top.png attached to Comment #19. With regard to the QEMU logs on my host, I found nothing noteworthy. I'm just a hobbyist, and tracking down bugs is a bit beyond my skill level. With that in mind, I hope maybe you or someone else who is more capable than me would be willing to create an Ubuntu 15.04 VM and look a little further into this. Who knows, maybe this is just a quirk of my system. But if someone else can reproduce what I'm seeing, then this is probably a pretty big issue, even if not always noticeable.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1432492] Re: Firefox and Thunderbird freezes entire system after a few seconds of use
I'm currently having a similar problem (system freeze) when running Firefox in an Ubuntu 15.04 virtual machine (VM) under KVM/Qemu. That is, the VM (but not the host) freezes within a few seconds after visiting certain sites (including Ubuntu.com) using Firefox in the VM. I'll just add that: (1) I haven't run into this problem with Ubuntu 15.04 when running bare-metal on my Intel-based laptop or when running bare-metal on my AMD-based desktop; (2) however, the above is highly reproducible (almost ALWAYS happens) in VMs run on my Intel-based laptop.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1432492] Re: Firefox and Thunderbird freezes entire system after a few seconds of use
Hi Dave: Sure, I'll do my best to provide more info. To be be candid, I'm a little busy right now, so it may be a few days. In the meantime, I'll just note that some sites seem to cause Firefox to freeze the system more quickly than do other sites. For example, opening only the default start page doesn't seem to cause a crash. However, opening Ubuntu.com, for example, causes a very rapid system freeze with Firefox in 15.04. Also, I've noticed that if I wait long enough (generally more than 10 minutes), the system can sometimes partially unfreeze, but then the desktop background is black, and text in menus and pretty much everywhere else are garbled, leaving the system unusable until reboot. I'll also not that such freezes do NOT occur when using Chrome. Oh, and I'm testing on with fully updated, but otherwise nearly clean installs, of 15.04 and 14.04.2, both running Firefox 37.0.2. (The freezes occurred both before and after installing Chrome in 15.04.) To reiterate, Firefox causes freezes with 15.04, but NOT with 14.04.2.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1385292] Re: can't rename files in nautilus
I was also having this issue. For me, the solution of setting Keyboard input method system to None ( System Settings - Language Support - Language tab) offered by dess seems to be fix. Thanks dess! Still, I want to add a bit more information: When my keyboard input method system was set to IBus, I had this problem both on 14.10 and on 15.04. On 14.10, I had this problem when using the Nvidia 331 driver from the repository and when using the Nvidia 346 driver from the ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa. In the case of 15.04, I also had this problem when using the Nvidia 331 driver from the repository and when using the Nvidia 346 driver from the ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa. However, I have NEVER had this problem (whether or not my keyboard input method system was set to IBus) on on 14.10 and on 15.04 when using the NOUVEAU driver. Granted, I only tested for a short while with the nouveau driver, so I can't say for certain that the nouveau is immune to the problem. QUESTION: Has anybody experienced this bug when using the NOUVEAU driver? If not, maybe the what we're seeing is an interaction between the Nvidia driver and IBus. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1385292 Title: can't rename files in nautilus Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: sometimes can't rename files with F2 button.

Yep, I found Ubuntu 3.8.0-7-generic in one of my old backups. Too bad Ubuntu doesn't maintain a repository of kernels from previous daily builds. And actually, I'm surprised that they don't. Oh well.

Regarding Ubuntu 13.04: I just noticed that I am NOT restricted to a resolution of 1024x768 when using a kernel from an earlier daily build. Rather, mirroring works properly again in Ubuntu 13.04 with the Linux 3.8.0-7-generic kernel. Mirroring may also work with kernels that are more recent than 3.8.0-7. But other than with 3.8.0-19 (with which mirroring doesn't work properly), I haven't yet had a chance to test more recent kernels. Of possible interest to some, rolling back to Linux 3.8.0-7-generic also cured a recent problem in which HDMI audio wasn't working with my Radeon card. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/897008 So the problem seems to integral to the recent kernels updates. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1167301 Title: REGRESSION: Mirroring display works only with 1024x768 (4:3) resolution whereas my laptop has 1366x768 (16:9) and the external monitor 1920x1080 (16:9) Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: I have a Lenovo Thinkpad Twist with Core i7 processor and on-chip HD4000 GPU.

Regarding Ubuntu 13.04: In addition to working properly with the Ubuntu 3.8.0-7-generic kernel, mirroring also works properly in Ubuntu 13.04 with the mainline 3.8.0 kernel. However, at least for me, mirroring does NOT work properly in Ubuntu 13.04 with the mainline 3.8.1 kernel or with the mainline 3.8.2 kernel.

Thanks Till. I tested a few more mainline kernels, including 3.8.3, 3.8.4, 3.8.5, 3.8.6, and 3.8.8. Unfortunately, mirroring also doesn't work properly with any of those tested mainline kernels. So at present, at least for me, the only relatively recent kernels that properly support mirroring in Ubuntu 13.04 on my AMD Radeon HD6670 are: Ubuntu 3.8.0-7-generic Mainline 3.8.0 I hope to perform a clean install soon after Ubuntu 13.04 is officially released. If this bug hasn't been fix by then, I'd like to revert to one of the above kernels after the clean install. But unfortunately, if Ubuntu 3.8.0-7-generic isn't readily available for download at that time, I'll likely be forced to use mainline 3.8.0. So here's hoping that older (pre-release) Ubuntu kernels will be available after the official release of Ubuntu 13.04. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1167301 Title: REGRESSION: Mirroring display works only with 1024x768 (4:3) resolution whereas my laptop has 1366x768 (16:9) and the external monitor 1920x1080 (16:9) Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: I have a Lenovo Thinkpad Twist with Core i7 processor and on-chip HD4000 GPU.

Adding one more comment: I notice that the importance if the original report was been changed from High to Wishlist after triage. Just to reiterate, the ability to mirror the display across two monitors using a resolution equal to that of the lower resolution of the two monitors was a feature available (until very recently) in Ubuntu 12.10. So the report isn't asking for a new feature, but rather is asking for a previous feature to be restored. And indeed, since a 1024x768 resolution doesn't display properly for me on either of my monitors, a mirrored display set up is not workable for me without this feature. So at least in my case, that previously available feature (ability to mirror display across two monitors using a resolution equal to that of the lower resolution of the two monitors) was not only greatly appreciated, but was heavily relied upon. So please consider this bug to be of High importance.

Regarding Ubuntu 13.04: I have a similar problem with an AMD Radeon HD 6670 card connected to two monitors. One monitor (connected via DVI) has resolution 1440x900 (16:10) and the other monitor (connected via HDMI) has resolution 1360x768 (16:9). In my case, when using the mirror displays option with the above described hardware setup, the highest resolution available is 1024x768 (4:3). I'll just add that: - In an earlier daily release of Ubuntu 13.04 (back in late December of 2012, if I recall correctly), the highest resolution available was 1360x768 (16:9) when using the mirror displays option on the same hardware setup as described above. So something related to this problem in 13.04 seems to have changed in late December of 2012. - Up until very recently, Ubuntu 12.10 also offered a resolution of 1360x768 (16:9) when using the mirror displays option on the same hardware setup as described above. But in a very recent update of (sometime in April of 2013), 12.10 also now only offers a resolution of 1024x768 (4:3) when using the mirror displays option on the same hardware setup. So something related to this problem in 12.10 seems to have changed in early April of 2013. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1167301 Title: Mirroring display works only with 1024x768 (4:3) resolution whereas my laptop has 1366x768 (16:9) and the external monitor 1920x1080 (16:9) Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: I have a Lenovo Thinkpad Twist with Core i7 processor and on-chip HD4000 GPU.

Re: [Desktop-packages] [Bug 1046450] Re: Xorg freeze with NVidia GT 610 graphics card under Xen
Hans, Nvidia customer support told me that they don't support Xen dom0. So my solution to this bug was to replace my Nvidia GeForce card with an AMD Radeon card. Here's some info that I posted elsewhere: Yep, it's a shame that Nvidia doesn't support Xen dom0 for most of their cards. I recently replaced my Nvidia GeForce card with a Gigabyte Radeon HD 6670 and it seems to work pretty well, at least for watching HD video and so forth, with Ubuntu 12.10 beta 2 as dom0 using the open source driver. And the card's 100mm fan is nearly silent under normal use. But to get HDMI audio output working with the open source driver, I had to edit the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line in /etc/default/grub to read as follows: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=quiet splash radeon.audio=1 Interestingly, although my 6670 worked well with the open source driver, I couldn't get it to work with Ubuntu 12.10 beta 2 as dom0 using the AMD proprietary driver. Xorg doesn't seem to start. There is probably a fix for this, but I'm satisfied with the open source driver, so I haven't spent much time on it. See http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=189t=102193 I'll just add to the above that I am now happily running *Ubuntu 12.10* as dom0 using the open source driver. I manage my guest domains using virt-manager, the configuration required lots of research, but not much effort once I found the right procedure. But that's the subject of a future bug report.
