Etoys is a Squeak image, not a VM. The Squeak menu shows you different Squeak images. Anyway ...
Here is how to find out the difference. Start Etoys both ways, and note the options used typing this command in a terminal window: ps x | grep squeak On my system I get this: Running via "squeak": -mmap 1024M -nomixer Running via "etoys": -encoding UTF-8 -vm-display-x11 -xshm -vm-sound-oss So these are totally different. For me, "etoys" works much better: sound works, and it's using the "Etoys" directory to store projects. You may try to remove the "-vm-display-x11 -xshm " options, or add the "-mmap 1024M" option by editing the VMOPTIONS line in /usr/games/etoys. One of these should give you the same performance. Please report back with your findings. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1009704 Title: etoys very slow (12.04 LTS) on notebook To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/etoys/+bug/1009704/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
