KDE 4.4.85 beta 2 too slow

Wed Jun 16, 2010 7:35 am
Hi

Finaly I'm registered. I've been using KDE with Kubuntu for over a year and I like it very much. Every time a new version is launched, I run to do the update. And that's what I did with beta 2 of KDE 4.

After a few hiccups, I managed to update KDE, but now my system is very slow, when opening windows, minimizing and maximizing, etc...

I had searched a lot, to see if someone else have the same problem, but I couldn't find anyone.

Have you already detected this? Is it on the bugs list?
Sorry if this isn't the best place to create this post.

Keep up the EXCELLENT WORK ;D

Welcome,
do you have an NVidia graphics card?
if so that may be the problem...

of course it is only a beta, problems are to be expected :)

Hi

No, it's an ATI card....

I know there will be bugs.
First of all, I just want to contribute, helping finding and reporting problems/bugs, thats why I installed the beta version. ^-^

fyi - I don't use ATi or Kubuntu but ...........

I wouldn't think up'ing to beta2 would cause these kind of issues

did you update your ATI drivers at the same time? did Kubuntu without you noticing? there were new drivers release 5/26 by ATI, if so would you need to configure or re-initialze them (using aticonfig --initial -f)? would this help http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu ... tion_Guide


is composting type set to xrender instead of opengl? systemsettings -> desktop affects -> advanced -> composting type

Hi Google01103

I've changed to xrender and it became a lot smoother.
I'm gonna try to update the driver.

Thanks

Is Blur enabled? That's something I would directly disable on my computer, since I'm pretty sure my graphic card can't handle it.
