RAOFricotz: Can you point me at that code?  It's obviously not _just_ a gnome-do problem, as all sorts of other things are seeing cairo slowness, *and* it's driver-dependent.00:06
ricotzRAOF, for example, if i want to draw something more onto overlay_buffer it slows down http://bazaar.launchpad.net/%7Ericotz/docky/stacks/annotate/head%3A/Docky/Docky/Menus/StackWidget.cs#L21200:16
ricotzi am no cairo expert, i still learn by using it00:17

eagles0513875hey guys im having some issues with the nvidia current driver 07:42
eagles0513875it seems for me it crashes and the only way to fix it is to do 2 reboots first one a hard reboot as it wont allow the monitor to turn back on and once i do that since i have gnome installed as well it takes me to the gdm login07:43
eagles0513875and i can login fine but have issues with sound that way, also this is after restarting x when the low graphics dialogue box with options pops up07:44
eagles0513875if i reboot a 2nd tiem it will boot using the default kdm login which i have set as default07:44

ArneGoetjeHey guys, since I updated my laptop with Maverick two days ago, my mousepointer is invisible... :( That makes navigating the desktop a bit difficult. Does anyone have the same problem?10:08
tseliotArneGoetje: maybe try removing the "unclutter" package? That's a bit weird though10:18
ArneGoetjechipset is i855. Even in gdm there i no moue pointer.10:19
ArneGoetjetseliot: already removed and rebooted. Problem is still there.10:19
ArneGoetjeany idea how to debug?10:19
tseliotArneGoetje: is it always invisible?10:20
ArneGoetjetseliot: yes, just when I hover above buttons or list entrie, those get hilighted. But the mousepointer remains invisible.10:21
tseliotok10:24
tseliotRAOF: did you upload the UMS driver for i855?10:25
vishsomeone on +1 is also complaining about the same ^^ problem10:25
vish <lelamal> it's like invisible, when it hovers on objects they highlight, and I can click on them, but just can't see it10:25
tseliotArneGoetje, vish: have you filed a bug report about it?10:27
ArneGoetjetseliot: no, since I don't know which package would be the right one10:27
tseliotI think you can file it against the -intel driver10:27
vishtseliot: i havent noticed the problem , i'll ask user to join here.. :)10:27
tseliotArneGoetje: "ubuntu-bug xserver-xorg-video-intel" should do it10:29

eagles0513875tseliot: im not sure if my problem is xorg related or nvidia current related14:11
tselioteagles0513875: what graphics issues are you experiencing?14:12
eagles0513875for starters one issue is at random times plasma crashes and im working on kde for instance my irc client kvirc has all the icons which are blurred for some reason if i restart plasma-desktop it fixes that issue14:13
eagles0513875tseliot: its multiple issues14:13
tseliotI think I've read about that bug about plasma, I'm not sure if there's a fix already but if you file a bug report against the nvidia driver I can ask NVIDIA to have a look at it14:14
tseliotbut please try the new driver first14:15
tseliotjust to be sure that it's not already fixed14:15
eagles0513875tseliot: whats the name of the driver in that repo14:15
tselioteagles0513875: the source is nvidia-graphics-drivers - 256.44-0ubuntu0sarvatt~lucid. nvidia-current is the package14:18
eagles0513875tseliot: once i add the repo to my list ill just have to update? and thats it or uninstall the current driver i have then reinstall14:19
tselioteagles0513875: just install nvidia-current with "sudo apt-get install nvidia-current". The driver should be upgraded correctly. Don't upgrade anything else14:20
