You have been subscribed to a public bug by Stéphane Graber (stgraber): In Jaunty, it takes around a minute or so to start up inkscape and gimp remotely through x11, even when doing it locally using 127.0.0.1.
Also , the majority of inkscape's tools are almost unusable, since it takes around 10-20 seconds to draw a line after you really draw that line using your mouse. The tools affected are tweak, eyedropper with just mouseover, and tweak, 3d, pencil, pen, callig, text, connector, eyedropper , when using them. This will also affect all LTSP setups on Jaunty. Steps to reproduce: - allow remote X11 connections on your machine. - startup gimp or inkscape doing "DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0 gimp" (or DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0 inkscape) - wait... - try to use inkscape without screaming :-) Just did interrupt gimp and inkscape when they were completely started, here are the results: time DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0 gimp real 0m51.580s user 0m3.964s sys 0m0.264s when run locally time gimp real 0m6.731s user 0m2.476s sys 0m0.280s This really seems to be X related , and related to new libraries in Jaunty. I did try to test it replacing Inkscape binary with Intrepid's one, and the behavior was the same. Also, I tested it using NX , and this behavior wasn't happening. ** Affects: gimp (Ubuntu) Importance: High Status: Triaged ** Affects: inkscape (Ubuntu) Importance: High Status: Triaged -- inkscape and gimp takes a minute to start when run remotely through X x11 in Jaunty - and inkscape draws slowly https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bugs/375417 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is a direct subscriber. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
