Re: [SLUG] Ubuntu 9.04 performance [Was: Sound in Ubuntu 9.04]
2009/5/19 Jeff Waugh j...@perkypants.org quote who=Daniel Bush ... nope, that didn't work either. My desktop is really sluggish too. It's the end of the road for me and 9.04. Do you happen to have an Intel video chipset? Yeah, it's all intel. Integrated graphics and sound. I can just about live with the sluggishness (I'm not sure if it is a lot different to 8.04 or not to be honest) but I need to talk on skype. I'm prepared to try to debug or troubleshoot if it will improve ubuntu but I'm a complete novice plus I seem to be a bit of an isolated case. -- Daniel Bush http://blog.web17.com.au -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

The sluggishness is almost certainly related to the video driver performance regression in Ubuntu 9.04. There are some half-fixes which introduce new problems, but for most users I recommend going back to 8.10 for now. Easiest way around it, sadly. Your audio issue I'm not so sure about (Skype works okay here whether I have pulseaudio running or not, so, hrm). - Jeff -- linux.conf.au 2010: Wellington, NZ http://www.penguinsvisiting.org.nz/ I haven't been this excited since the introduction of devfs. - Mark Rosenstand on upstart-devel list -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Your audio issue I'm not so sure about (Skype works okay here whether I have pulseaudio running or not, so, hrm). It does seize up just momentarily on menus and dropdowns as well as slow repaints when dragging windows creating an echo effect so I can confirm that graphics are definitely an issue.
