[Bug 756560] Re: Screen redraw issues when using Anki
With some mouse acrobatics, Anki is at least usable with Unity: A screen redraw is achieved when clicking on the middle of the top panel. It is not fun though, because one has to do it after each click on Show Answer or Easy/Medium/Hard. I favor the Ubuntu Classic workaround.

[Bug 756560] Re: Screen redraw issues when using Anki
In unity, triggering the screen redraw by hitting the super key (the one with the windows symbol on it) works for me. If you don't just tap the key, but hold it down for 0.5 seconds, the black dash overlay doesn't pop up. Easier than clicking around with the mouse.

Somebody just emailed me with the following workaround. I don't have time to test right now but maybe people could try it out and report back. - I had this same bug with gnome3 on fedora 15. This is not a compiz bug but a XRender bug (I think, I have no idea to be honest) Got some help in #qt channel on freenode. the workaround is to set the QT_GRAPHICSSYSTEM variable before starting anki. export QT_GRAPHICSSYSTEM=raster anki I don't know why it works.

[Bug 756560] Re: Screen redraw issues when using Anki
yes, this seems to work. also, if you quit and restart anki, it still works, so i imagine you only have to export the parameter once per session. Thanks Jon and Daniel. Does someone know if this means this report should be changed to list some other package like xrender or pyqt? for anyone who is not clear: you open a terminal and type: export QT_GRAPHICSSYSTEM=raster and then press Enter.

Excellent! Changing the QT graphicssystem session-wide might have negative effects on other QT applications, such as Libreoffice.

I have redraw issues with Libreoffice too sometimes so this might not be such a bad thing to enable system-wide for users with Nvidia graphics cards who are experiencing problems.

[Bug 756560] Re: Screen redraw issues when using Anki
on the Ubuntu login screen at the bottom (after you click your name), you can choose to log in NOT in Unity version (Ubuntu), but instead in Ubuntu Classic or Ubuntu Classic (no effects). I tried this, and anki is working fine on both Classic and Classic (no effects). this suggests to me that the problem is with compiz (since I did not have to install python-qt from source to get it to work, but simply switch to a desktop that doesn't use compiz. although...i guess the problem could be that python-qt is the culprit in how it interacts with compiz...). I tried going into Unity desktop and open CompizConfig Settings Manager and disabled the Effects like Animation, but that messes up the interface (panel, launcher, etc, disappear). unfortunately, in the next release of Ubuntu (11.10), there will not be any Ubuntu Classic option anymore. hopefully this will be resolved in compiz and/or pyqt by then. otherwise, i guess for most people, they'll have install another desktop like Kubuntu, Lubuntu, etc in order to use anki until this is fixed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/756560 Title: Screen redraw issues when using Anki -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
