This may not be a problem with Lyx, but I'm curious to know if other users have the same problem. It seems to be a QT problem associated with nvidia drivers and compiz. Even painting of the document properties preamble edit box is delayed indefinitely (until a change occurs, or the window is covered and uncovered). So not a Lyx problem. Sam

Indeed, we should be grateful that we have the opportunity to test LyX on Karmic before it appears. That way, we avoid the recent issues with "Snow Leopard", or whatever Apple is calling their latest piece of *&%$. Richard

It is nevertheless a strange that people asking for help while the list members first have to google what they are talking about. It is perhaps not so strange; I just guessed wrongly between "tediously verbose" and "obtusely arcane" - either of which has the potential to be annoying - however the joy of such public communication is the incidental widening of everyone's horizons. I could had said "The Ubuntu GNU/Linux distribution alpha release Karmic Koala" but at the time even "Ubuntu Karmic Koala" seemed unnecessarily verbose. I shall take your tip, though, and presume that not everyone is so familiar with the progress of Ubuntu. Back to the topic Ubuntu 9.10 is not stable and in beta state. Heh, it's alpha 5 right now. I'm wondering why we should care about an unreleased OS. Here's some reasons, although I don't propose that you personally adopt any of them: * Other mailing list members care * It's a chance to spot problems before release * Other Lyx users care By using alpha Karmic Koala I was able to spot and report bugs in qemu and rhythmbox so that they will be fixed before release. I'm not asking for support here on this issue, I'm only asking if anyone else has noticed this, as I may be able to get information to help me investigate further. So far the problem has only shown itself on computers with nvidia drivers, my ATI machine does not show the problem. I'll investigate more when I get back to my nvidia machines. To answer Steve Litt's question, I'm using lyx 1.6.3 (I don't know how to ask dpkg where it was built as I do for rpm's but I suspect it is a Jaunty Jackalope getdeb build), and qt 4.5.2 Sam

Karmic Koala update slows down lyx
The most recent Karmic Koala updates make updating the Lyx caret (text position) very slow. If I click the left-arrow, it takes a second before the caret is seen in the new position and the old position is not erased properly. This may not be a problem with Lyx, but I'm curious to know if other users have the same problem. Sam
