For those of you using CLUTTER_VBLANK=none - you shouldn't be too afraid of all the spooky error messages in the terminal. The worst thing it should give you would be some rendering glitches - which is nothing compared to the pain you have now anyway I guess ;-)
My initial command to make the CLUTTER_VBLANK permanent didn't work, sorry about that. In stead you can create the required file by hand by executing 'sudo nano -w /etc/X11/Xsession.d/10unity-quirks' and then adding one line to that file 'CLUTTER_VBLANK=none' and save it (Control-X). Then restart your computer. I think there are two different issues at play here. The one discussed for this bug is the CLUTTER_VBLANK issue (which seems to happen on a range of different hardware), the other is probably related to a most elusive (but very big) memory leak we seem to be triggering on some very specific variations of i945 cards - this is bug #652864. While I continue to chase this, I can assure everyone that we are taking very serious measures to assure that something similar doesn't happen for Natty. -- [Intel GMA 945/950] Unity Interface Is Extremely Slow (Ubuntu Netbook 10.10) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/657976 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
