Public bug reported: Ubuntu Precise with all updates gtk-vnc: libgtk-vnc-1.0-0 0.5.0-1ubuntu1 vinagre: 3.3.3-0ubuntu1 xtightvncviewer: 1.3.9-6.2 qemu-kvm: 1.0+noroms-0ubuntu2 Virtual guest with Windows 7 32bit
When using Qemu-kvm to virtualize guests the virt-viewer and vinagre (both based on gtk-vnc) are very slow. The first drawing of a desktop of 1024x768 takes about 5 seconds. The mouse behaves very sluggish and you can actually move the mouse faster than displayed. When the physical mouse movement stopped the mouse pointer will still be moving for several seconds. Using vncviewer from the xtightvncviewer package does not have this problem. The initial screen is drawn in less than a second. The mouse movement is fast. Unfortunately xtightvncviewer is no alternative, since the keymaps are not mapped correctly. ** Affects: gtk-vnc (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/910058 Title: gtk-vnc is unusable slow compared to tightvncviewer To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk-vnc/+bug/910058/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
