[Dx-packages] [Bug 1319535] [NEW] Desktop animations jitter / stutter under load

2014-05-14 Thread Jens
Public bug reported: The new desktop animations, fading etc. of windows is great. However, unlike with 12.04, all these animations - and in fact every action on the desktop that involves moving windows around - becomes noticeably slower and "stutters", when the system is under high load. (Example:

This seems to be a Unity specific problem: After installing Lubuntu- desktop, this problem disappears completely. I can benchmark my CPU and view fullscreen HD videos at the same time and nothing jitters or stutters. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, w

2014-02-23 Thread Jens
Public bug reported: I installed the 14.04 daily build from a CD image yesterday to help testing. Unfortunately, I cannot test anything because right upon booting, when the desktop appears, every app I start causes about a minute of freezing (even the mouse pointer freezes) and then a restart (or

I did an `apt-get upgrade` yesterday. I also installed the virtualbox guest additions (because my VM only had 640x480 and many utilities don't work properly in that resolution, e.g. Ubuntu Testdrive). No change - every application still crashes. Anybody working on this yet? Anything I can do to he

I installed Ubuntu. It boots and the desktop appears. As soon as I try to start any app from the launcher or menu (eg. Settings app) the desktop freezes. After around 10-20 seconds the window decorations, launcher and top menu bar disappear. Most apps do not even start up (Firefox works though).

I have updated on March 1 and the problem is still there. Unfortunately, I cannot test any further because for some strange reason my Ubuntu 14.04 test VM does not even boot any more (it seems the bootdisk UUID has changed. Is this another bug?) I removed it completely and wanted to boot off a cur

Public bug reported: First, thank you very much for this option! I use (and maintain) Ubuntu on a lot of older computers with resolutions of 1024x768, 1366x768 and 1280x800, and the first complaint I often get from new users is "everything is so big". This is good if you have Full HD screens with
