Virgil Brummond, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number> Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily kernel folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11.1 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** Package changed: compiz (Ubuntu) => linux ** Changed in: linux Status: Invalid => New ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Incomplete ** Attachment removed: "My compiz parameters saved under Karmic with ccsm 0.8.2" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/555595/+attachment/1393039/+files/compiz-fusion.profile -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/555595 Title: Intel graphics performance regression in 2.6.32-19 lucid kernel update (was: Firefox Slows Down Compiz) Status in The Linux Kernel: New Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Latest status on the bug report: I think this would be a kernel regression in 2.6.32-19 with Intel performance. Even typing in Firefox feels sluggish. Appears both with lucid's 2.9 intel X.org driver and 2.11 from xorg-edgers. The problem is seen in sluggish behavior as soon as one or more applications like Firefox or Ubuntu Software Center are running. The application in use seems to be consuming close to 100% CPU when whatever even slightly graphical is done. The problem was not there in 2.6.32-16 kernel. Not sure about -17 and -18, but probably at least -17 was right. More input and testing welcome. Possible: amd64 only? bryceh reported not having the problem. Original unmodified bug report: Binary package hint: compiz Desktop effects are noticeably slower while Firefox is open. My display adapter is an integrated Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 4500M. I tested this using the built in Benchmark plug-in. When Firefox is not running I get a solid 60fps (vsync is enable I believe). Having a few GTK+ applications (such as nautilus, gedit.. etc) open does not slow the frame rate even when running the expo plug-in. Running Firefox causes a noticeable slowdown in the expo plug-in and desktop switching. The frame rate drops to 30fps and below and feels choppy. I have not modified the configuration of either compiz or my intel driver. I am running Lucid on AMD64. This occurs on both the Generic and the Preempt kernels.
