http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=552836 Summary: Desktop is slow on a thin client connected via Gigabit LAN Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: RC 1 Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: X11 Applications AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: bartoschek@or.uni-bonn.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Created an attachment (id=325749) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=325749) A video showing slow window switching User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/4.3; Linux) KHTML/4.3.1 (like Gecko) SUSE The overall desktop experience is very slow on machines that connect via XDMCP to the opensuse server. KDE4 is unusable. Switching windows by clicking on them takes more than a second. Window redraws take more than a second. The mouse pointer often hangs for a fraction of a second. XFCE is better than KDE4 and KDE4 applications are nearly usable in XFCE. However firefox is still unusable in XFCE. Scrolling is slow and flash applications are very sluggish. Our thin clients are several versions of IGEL thin clients. They connect via XDMCP to the login machines and act as X11 Terminals. A local login to the machine shows no problem. We use opensuse 10.3 on one of our login machines with KDE3 and it works fine. The whole desktop is fast and usable. Even firefox and flash video work. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Login to an opensuse 11.2 machine from a X11 terminal 2. 3. Expected Results: A seamless desktop experience I changed the theme to KDE2 and also killed plasma-desktop. The resulting desktop was still not as quick as we expect it. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
