LINUX MINT 12 Release Candidate TEST of 64-bit DVD Version downstream development of UBUNTU 11.10 Version.
http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/linuxmint.com/testing/linuxmint-12-gnome-dvd- 64bit-rc.iso Released November 10th, 2011, Time: 9:16 1.0 GB Download Bug persists in GIMP 2.6.11 with streaks to the edge of the screen using Genius Mousepad 8x6 tablet and pen. In Gnome 3.2.1 with MGSE, the bug is horrific. In MATE desktop environment the bug is significantly less. It is even less in Gnome Classic and least apparent in Gnome Classic (No Effects) desktop environments. The same is true of the bug manifestation in UBUNTU 11.10 from worst to least: UNITY > Gnome Classic = Lubuntu = Xubuntu > Gnome Classic No Effects. So trying to evade this bug by jumping to the upcoming version of Linux Mint 12 will not help at this time. In fact, the Gnome 3.2.1 3D environment was so bad that the drawing could not keep up with pen movement in addition to having to deal with the spontaneous streaking from the bug. I am running a triple core AMD CPU at 3.1 GHz so this graphics performance is disastrous. The performance was irrelevant to whether my tablet drivers were installed or removed. This leaves only two options: 1) Drop-kick back to UBUNTU 11.04/Linux Mint 11, or, 2) Try another distribution of Linux along Debian development design. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gimp in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/863154 Title: Wacom Bamboo One tablet random coordinate malfunctions Status in The GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP): Unknown Status in “gimp” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The tablet in overall seems to work correctly, with all pressure- features working. But quite frequently, while drawing, GIMP seems to wrongly read the coordinates of the stylus (as zeros, or negative values?), resulting in frequent, random 'line-peaks' in the direction of the left and upper image edges. With this bug it is hard to even use the tablet, since these problems are very frequent (see the exemplary image attached). The tablet works with no problems in MyPaint. The bug is reproducible in both Unity-2d and Unity-3d. I also notice the CPU usage increasing dramatically during drawing with any brush. Steps to reproduce: 1. Connect the Wacom Bamboo One tablet 2. Open GIMP 3. Start drawing longer strokes with any brush Expected result: The brush stroke as intended by moving the stylus Actual result: The brush stroke as intended with frequent, random line-strokes towards image edges System: Ubuntu 11.10 oneiric (development branch) GIMP version: 2.6.11 (package version: 2.6.11-2ubuntu3) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gimp/+bug/863154/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
