OpenSUSE Hardware :: Windows Movement And Starter Menu Sluggish / Choppy

Aug 18, 2011

I have an Intel Core i7 860, 8 GB RAM, with nVidia Quadro NVS 295 graphics card running openSUSE 11.4 with KDE 4.7. Moving, resizing, and minimizing windows, opening the starter menu is sluggish, choppy. It's not that I cannot live with it, but it should be smooth, and that's what bothering me. It seems like I have tried "everything" to fix the problem, disabling the blur effect, the pixmap trick, changing nVidia driver (both the latest beta 285.03, the latest stable 280.13, and the one from the repository, 275.21), and enabling and disabling the things on the "Advanced" tab for desktop effects.

Changing from the Oxygen theme to something else improved it a bit, but it is still very choppy. It seems related to the number of windows I have open. If I have one window open, everything flows nicely, but already with two windows it becomes slow. I have a dual screen (TwinView) setup, but removing the second screen did not improve anything. I'm not very good at the graphics part. I can't stand all the comments about "sluggish Linux graphics" I get from MS Windows users.

These are the top lines I get from glxinfo:
Code:
name of display: :0
display: :0 screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
server glx version string: 1.4

Ubuntu :: Choppy And Flickery Window Movement

Jul 12, 2010

I've been using Ubuntu off and on for about a year now, and my problem is that when ever I move a window on the desktop it gets all flickery and choppy. I have 4 gigs of ram, an AMD Athlon X2 processor @ 2.70 ghz, and an NVIDIA 9500 GT graphics card with 1 gig ram. I have the recommended NVIDIA driver installed. Anyway I really like Ubuntu but this issue is annoying and makes it look like crap. I don't have this problem with Windows or KDE distros so maybe it is something with GNOME.

Ubuntu :: Change The Wallpaper In Windows 7 Starter?

Feb 4, 2011

I'm planning on getting a netbook soon (probably in May), and the model I want (Asus EEE PC 1001PX-EU17-BK) comes with Windows 7 Starter. Should I keep Windows 7, install Ubuntu 11.04, or dual-boot?

I have already found intructions on how to dual boot the way I want, and how to change the wallpaper in Windows 7 Starter. I also already have experiance with Ubuntu, Unity 3D, and Windows XP.What would be the best solution?

OpenSUSE :: Sluggish Kde After Upgrade?

Apr 5, 2011

I was using opensuse kde 11.3 for almost one year. My system is a four-core system and so far was really fast. After upgrading from 11.3 to 11.4 I have noticed that kde(?) is running slow. I can pinpoint exactly the source of the problem but just a few examples.

1. Dolphin takes so much time to load (15 seconds)

2. When I try to do something inside dolphin (like Edit->copy) can take up to 15 seconds to see the menu to appear.

3. Double clicking inside a catalog can take up to 5 seconds

I have same kind of problems with Gwenview. I can not say precisely blame kde, dolphin or gwenview.

I would like to ask your help how can I find what's the problem (any cli command, any log file to check?)

I have updates to latest opensuse 11.4 by using the documentation I found in official opensuse forumes. (Changed the repositories from 11.3 to 11.4)

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Graphics Seem Very Sluggish Doing Things Like Opening And Closing Windows, Popping Up Menus?

May 25, 2010

I've just installed kubuntu 10.04 x64 and I'm slowly working through lots of little niggly problems that I'm having getting it all set up.My graphics seem VERY sluggish doing things like opening and closing windows, popping up menus etc.I have an Athlon II 250 3.0ghz processor, 2GB RAM and onboard graphics ATI HD2100 (740G chipset).I tried to get the proprietary graphics driver installed to see if that made any difference but it wouldn't recognise the onboard graphics, a bit of googling seems to suggest they have actually dropped support for this model?After removing the proprietary stuff it seems even more sluggish than it did before.

Ubuntu :: Browsing The Filesystem (Nautilus) And Firefox Seems Realy Sluggish Compared To The Windows 7 Counterparts

Mar 22, 2011

I can't quantify the behavior, but every time I run Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (32-bit), I get the impression that I'm using a much slower machine. All I have to compare it to is my Windows 7 64-bit install on the same machine (specs in signature), where almost everything is very snappy by comparison.

I don't have skipping audio or delayed video when watching DVDs in VLC Media Player, and Urban Terror (a 3D game) runs fine, but just general stuff like browsing the filesystem (Nautilus) and Firefox seems reaaaaallly sluggish compared to the Windows 7 counterparts.

What I'm doing at the time does not appear to affect the sluggishness. I have noticed the same impression of sloth both while copying large files, and while doing nothing in particular. That's not how it's supposed to work, is it? Does an Ubuntu install normally slow down over time? I have only been running 10.04 LTS since last October or so.

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Nvidia Required - Sluggish Video Performance?

Aug 20, 2010

operating System: Opensuse version 11.3 (x86_64) Nvidia Driver Version: 256.35 I have been getting sluggish performance while playing games recently as a normal user, although when I switch to a superuser I get great performance.

I have ran the command Glxinfo as a normal user and I get the following output. name of display: :0.0 NVIDIA: - Anonymous - TzhDEdV5 - Pastebin.com When run as a superuser I get the following output. name of display: :0.0 display - Anonymous - 4nb3pDJH - Pastebin.com I have noticed a major difference in output is that as a normal user Direct Rendering is not enabled, though as soon as I log into the super user there is no such error message.

Is there a way that I can enable Direct Rendering as a normal user? I believe that this may be part of the issue.

OpenSUSE :: Sluggish After An Hour Of Usage And KDE Widgets/desktop Are No Longer Rendered Properly

Sep 26, 2010

I am using OpenSUSE for the first time. I quite like it but KDE on 11.3 is really giving me a hard time. My desktop becomes very sluggish after about an hour of usage and the KDE widgets/desktop are no longer rendered properly, with color spilling and bloated borders etc.

To give you a better idea, here is a screenshot of my desktop -[url] here's another - [url]

I suspect that this might be an issue with drivers for Intel Graphics, though I couldn't find anyone experiencing exactly the same problem as me. I am running a P4 2.4 GHz with onboard intel graphics.

Jul 5, 2010

I've just installed windows on my computer for gaming, since it took over the boot loader I went into the repair system function of the opensuse DVD. Now I'm back in linux but no windows partition is showing up on the grub menu. This is the output of fdisk -l how do I make it so grub sees my windows too? This is probably an easy fix but I'm a prior ubuntu guy and just started playing with suse which seems a bit more tech savvy and less forgiving then ubuntu. code...

OpenSUSE Network :: Network Login Starter - Set Up A Server - Centralized Username And Password

Jan 21, 2010

I'm new to networks and servers, been using Linux on the desktop for a while now but always relied on the company's IT guy for setting up everyting LAN-based.

Now I want to build up my home LAN, and want to do it with Linux. I've managed to set up LAMP and file share servers.

What I am looking for is information on what I need, and how to set up a server for the following tasks:Centralized Username and Password, that when the user logs into any one of the desktops in the LAN, it uses this for authentication

Something that allows this authentication to be utilized in other servers (file access, web access, router logging, etc.). Something to make it easier for continuing permissions from one service to another. e.g. I have IPCop filtering content, and it has provisions for tracking who is making which request if there is authentication going on. (optionally) to run a script for mounting Samba shares or mapped network drives so from one system to the next. For example, in whatever box somebody logs in, it mounts a server share ("smb://Myserver/users/<username>") to a local folder ("my_user_share").

So;user "fred" ="smb://Myserver/users/fred" and user "wilma" = "smb://Myserver/users/wilma" but both would find their respective one mounted under "~/my_user_share". This would be irrespective of which box they are loggin in with. If the server share location changes (new server/servername), I change it on the server so the next time they log in it points to the right place.

I guess it is similar to Window's Active Directory, though I'm not sure what it's called, how to configure it and what it is and is not capable of doing.

OpenSUSE :: Make KDE Panel With Different Sized Main Menu Than Bar Like Windows 7

Was wondering if there is a simple way to make the kickoff menu slightly larger than the panel similar to the way Windows 7 can have their (formerly-known-as) "Start" button larger?I have KDE on my laptop and am trying to make the best use of the small screen space. The Plasma Netbook Workspaces is alright, but I ended up returning to base KDE instead.

OpenSUSE Multimedia :: Choppy Video With Intel HD 3000 Graphics?

Aug 19, 2011

I recently installed openSUSE on a new Toshiba and i'm getting very choppy video while watching videos on ....., justin.tv, etc. The video is fine as long as I don't full screen. However, when I try to fullscreen a stream on justin.tv or a ..... video, it instantly becomes choppy and video is extremely delayed in relation to the sound. The sound still continues at it's regular pace, however the video lags behind and is just choppy in general.Also, not sure if this helps, but i'm running an i3 2310M.

OpenSUSE Multimedia :: Choppy Sound When Get System Sounds (notifications) To Work

Mar 22, 2010

My sound was working fine except I couldn't get system sounds (notifications) to work. So I decided to install pulseaudio to see if it would fix it. Now I get system sounds and my other sounds, but now in most things (such as firefox and warcraft 3) the sound is choppy. I've tried SDB:AudioTroubleshooting - openSUSE and a couple other things I've googled but it's not working for me. I'd like to be able to fix it or at least go back to the way it was.

OpenSUSE Multimedia :: Choppy Sound In Gnome - Installing Xine Backend ?

Jul 23, 2011

In Gnome and XFCE I always have a choppy music playback. The music is never played smoothly. There is always hesitations in the playback, as if the CPU is running on 100% and cannot cope with the system load.

One of the reasons for that is (in my case) Pulseaudio.

Another reason is Gstreamer. When I choose Gstreamer as backend in KDE, I get the same choppy musicplayback as in Gnome or XFCE. With Xine as backend in KDE, everything is fine. So my conclusion is: with Xine, the sound would be fine in Gnome too.

So, I wonder if it is possible to use Xine as backend in Gnome too. Does anyone have experience with running Xine in Gnome and/or XFCE? What do I need to do to set Gnome/XFCE, so that it uses Xine instead of Gstreamer?

Or is there maybe a special setting, I have to apply? In gstreamer-properties I have tried all possible settings, but this didn´t change anything to the quality of sound.

My experience is also: this choppy sound is hardware-independend. It doesn´t matter which hardware I use, the sound is choppy. It is also distro-independend. The sound is choppy in openSUSE (gnome and in KDE with applied Gstreamer backend), in Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Fedora with Gnome, Linux Mint with Gnome.

Ubuntu / Apple :: 10.04 - Mouse Movement And Zigzagging?

Jun 21, 2010

Anyway, just installed 10.04 desktop on a 4,1 Macbook. I've pretty much got everything to where I like it. My only real problem is the track pad/mouse not working right. Unless I move the the mouse perfectly vertical/horizontal the mouse starts zigzagging like crazy. The slower I move the mouse the more prominent the problem seems to be. I've tried playing with the mouse settings under preferences but nothing got it working smoothly.

Ubuntu :: Possible To Get Quality Mouse Movement Like In Win7?

Jan 19, 2011

I've been using Windows (7) a little, and I just noticed that the mouse movement is simply infinite times better than Ubuntu's. On Windows I was able to actually "draw" things using the mouse, and it's amazingly comfortable. You actually feel on control of it. On Ubuntu I've tried to reduce the mouse polling rate to 2ms, and a number of different speed and acceleration combinations, but It seems impossible to achieve the same quality (or at least something acceptable after trying Windows).

Now that I'm used to Windows' mouse movement, I feel extremely uncomfortable and have difficult even to target links on webpages. Is there a way to increase the movement quality? My mouse is a Microsoft Basic Mouse. I'm attaching a file of a circle drawn with mouse on Windows and an attempt to reproduce it on Ubuntu.
