Bug Description
Using Gnome Ubuntu 14.10, Dell XPS 13, intel 915 Graphics
After upgrading from 14.04 to 14.10 there are a lot of places where the graphics are working much slower than they were before:
- Gnome Shell Interface is very sluggish, visible "chops" (redrawing) when pressing the [Super] key.
- Selecting text in Gedit takes a full second pr. line
Experiences some subjective improvement when I booted kernel 3.13.0-37 instead of 3.16.0-23, but that may be my imagination as the problem persists.
I've searched google, forums, found a couple of relevant links that point to the issue being the Intel drivers.
http://
http://
But the drivers currently in 14.10 should be newer than those supplied by Intel to 14.04 so that doesn't make sense to me. As one Intel developer wrote:
"I would like to point out that since what we do is bring more ecent versions of the software to the target distributions than they ship with, a 14.04 targeted installer is unlikely to bring much to a 14.10 installation, which most likely has the same or more recent versions already anyway."

Using Xubuntu. Graphics very slow on something as simple as the moving balls on the google search page.
I'm admittedly using an old machine (Dell Latitude D400) but some simple graphics operations are far far slower on 14.10 than with 14.04 or 12.04

If the graphics driver is the problem, would it be possible/sensible to downgrade it to whatever version we had und 14.04? Does anyone know how to do this?

After a 14.10 install from scratch (no update) with Gnome Shell on Intel 915 graphics (Lenovo S440), I still have the same issue. Most noticeable is the very slow text editing in gedit.
There is no issue when I use Unity, Gnome Classic or Xfce.
Dawid Lorenz (adlorenz) wrote : | #10 |
My understanding is that the problem doesn't necessarily lie in Intel graphics driver, if that would be the case, sluggish performance would affect desktop as a whole, regardless of applications currently running. At the moment, my 14.10 Gnome desktop is perfectly smooth until I launch certain applications like Google Chrome or Image Viewer. Gedit also caused this issue until I upgraded it to 3.12.2 from gnome3-team's ppa - now runs without a hitch. That makes me think that these applications are rendered using different library/method which is not accelerated by graphics driver - that's how in laymans words I would describe my understanding of the case.
I have also reported #1385764 which has been marked as duplicated of this bug, where I explained the issue further.
Celian (r-launchpad-celian-dk) wrote : | #11 |
I can confirm the observations made by Dawid Lorenz
I tried replicating the actions in the video he posted in his own bug report, and found the results to be the same.
- Opening the image viewer made desktop switching noticably slower.
- Launching Google Chrome brings about very noticable performance changes overall
- Upgrading my Gedit from 3.10 to 3.12 eliminated the issue with slow performance in the text editor

Definitely seems that at least part of issue bight be in drawing/updating of gnome 3.10 applications
However, I've noticed:
- Opening a gnome terminal window (NB: Version 3.12) also brings about the sluggish performance in desktop switching
So I'm not sure the issue can be solely attributed to the the 3.10 vs. 3.12 changes.
Celian (r-launchpad-celian-dk) wrote : | #12 |
Additionally, Rhythmbox 3.0.3 is itself and makes everything else, ie. the user interface painfully slow.
Only does this when the program visible, there is no problem when it's playing in the background (Alt-F4)

Similar issue for my NVIDIA GeForce 610M Optimus hybrid graphics laptop. Xorg is working harder and taking more CPU % than in 14.04. Occasionally, the graphics hang with the HDD running. In 14.04 it also occurred but it tended to come back after 30 seconds or so. 14.10 takes longer and a couple times it hung completely and I had to crash the system using the power button.
Michael Schurter (schmichael) wrote : | #14 |
I'm having the same issue - but only since upgrading from 14.04 to 14.10. I've been a long time gnome3-team ppa and gnome3 user.
The *big* difference I'm seeing is that it's not consistent. Maybe 1 out of 10 boots the UI is so sluggish it's unusable.
Otherwise my issues match everyone else's: once I open Chrome or switch virtual desktops, the UI starts crawling. Some games work fine, others play at less than 1 fps.
I'm on a sys76 w/ Intel Corporation Crystal Well Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 08) for graphics.

Ubuntu Gnome 14.04 to 14.10. Slow switching between workspaces when certain apps are running. So far seems when Firefox and Evolution are running, switching between workspaces is very slow. Quit these apps and things speed up. Don't experience same issue if I run Epiphany instead of Firefox. So certain apps seem to be slow for workspace switching for me. TJ

I'm just running standard Ubuntu with Unity, upgraded from 14.04 to 14.10. Video playback is choppy from youtube, netflix, etc. I am experiencing some of the same problems as #17, switching between workspaces is slow on occasion. The worst problem is that the Dash is quite slow, it takes about 3 seconds to pop up after I press Super, when it used to be more or less instantaneous. And typing in the Dash search box takes about 1 second per letter.
My hardware is a desktop with Intel integrated graphics. It's not new (an i3 chip from several years ago) but I never had a problem with 14.04.

OK, an oddity for me today I thought I would post.
I also had very slow UI since updating from Ubuntu Gnome 14.04 to 14.10. Workspace or window switching was slow as molasses. Seemed the two apps for me that made window switching real slow were Evolution and Firefox. Once I quit those things seemed normal.
I have been running my i7 based system from the Intel 4000 based on board graphics as I could not get my nVidia 750ti to work. Therefore I had BIOS set to use the on-board video.
Today I decided to set video back to PCI1 that my nVidia is connected to but leave the HDMI display connected to my on-board video. Took longer to boot but she did boot and guess what..... my system is running much faster UI now. Those problem apps from before that bogged down the workspace switching.... not doing it any more.
Really strange but for me.... the UI is peppy again.
I will run like this for a day or two to see what happens.

Fresh install of Ubuntu 14.10 on brand new desktop computer with Intel integrated graphics. Launching directly gedit as only graphical application after boot, display freezes for a noticeable period of time (10-20 seconds) when editing with a mix of keyboard entry, keyboard shortcuts and mouse edition.

I have Unity and 14.10 upgraded from 14.04, Dell E7240 notebook with Core i7-4600U and integrated Intel Haswell-ULT video.
First the problem seemed to appear after upgrade when I decided to try unity8 and installed it packages (the graphics remained slow even when I was in classic Unity session), and everything disappeared, when I removed unity8.
Now the problem reappeared, and I found unity8 installed again. So I removed it with all the stuff depended on it and the is likely went away again.

This affects me too on Ubuntu Gnome 14.10 with Lenovo Yoga 13 and Intel HD 4000. Basic gnome animations are slow, or better said, they always get at least one lag during animation. I have to say that I played with unity and unity8, then uninstalled it.
ibus-gtk was installed so this was no fix for me. I am going to try Gnome Shell staging as suggested. Wanted to try it before anyway...

Same thing on the HP's Chromebook 14 on Intel, on the latest kernels (3.17-3.18). It happens after couple of hours of work or moments with high CPU load. Bug brings slow redrawing in Opera (presto) and Chromium, but Firefox refreshing stays smooth. Also, appears a high CPU consumption by XOrg, when browsers are opened.

After upgrading to 14.10 tonight, I noticed a slowdown especially while using totem. I was getting about 0.2 frames per second using totem. VLC appeared to run but was choppy at larger resolutions.
Other than totem, the primary symptom was sluggishness. It took 1 second for gnome-shell to react to selecting and dragging a gnome-terminal that was in the background behind chrome.
After the upgrade, the kernel appeared to be running the i915 module (as seen by lshw -c video). ibus-gtk was already installed, so it wasn't that either.
Then I installed the edger's xserver ppa. This helped both gnome-shell and totem, considerably.
Videos actually ran for a second or two at a time, but were still choppy in totem. What appeared to be happening was that gnome-shell would spike the cpu going to 80% when totem was running. Gnome-shell was more responsive but still sluggish using the edgers xserver. Dragging a gnome-terminal in the background still took around a second for gnome to respond.
Then I installed gnome-staging ppa. This helped the most, eliminating the gnome-shell cpu spike while playing totem, and making the windows much more responsive including dragging a gnome-terminal that was in the background.
So it looked like both things helped to varying degrees. I got a better totem frame rate using the edgers x server. But gnome-staging gave me a better gnome-shell performance.

Sadly, it's slow for me as well.
I completely removed my 12.04 LTS, re-organized partitions, then freshly installed 14.10, now Chromium and Gedit are running unbearably slow. I have Dell Latitude E6510 with 560 M processor and integrated Intel GMA HD graphics card. I sure did not have this issue with 12.04.
I remember version 10.04 did not support the 1080p resolution on Intel integrated gfx, it took awhile for a fix to come out.
Not sure what to say or think about this either, Ubuntu is trying to be "the desktop distro" but with such bug...!? There are lots of laptops out there with Intel integrated graphics.

This is not only in Ubuntu GNOME, Chromium runs equally slow in Unity and fallback mode.
gustden (deg) wrote : | #89 |
I agree with vincegata.
This bug makes the current version of Ubuntu unusable on a large percentage of the hardware out there. Yet, it sits with an importance of "undecided" and "unassigned". What does it take to be rated a high importance and get someone looking at this?
This is really unacceptable for a distribution that is trying to make a presence in the desktop space.

No issues with previous distributions, but for some reason in 14.10, Chrome browser lags. Huge lag. From videos, scrolling up/down on a wiki page, to app. animation (creating a new tab, hitting the plus sign, the new tab bar lags during draw())
However, oddly enough, I play 720p, 1080p movies with ease (no lag, no chopping, all good). Something doesnt add up.
Sounds like a Chrome problem? I dont know, but I doubt its Chrome at this point. (Chrome version: 41.0.2272.76 (64-bit))
anyone with a similar pc? similar video card? with a solution?

My system speed got much better after disabling bootloader graphics, VESA framebuffer driver and PAT memory in xdiagnose. As a result Chrome is running fine hardware accelerated, unity dash is back on normal speed, my system plays videos in full hd. Also my general system load is much lower now. Maybe this solution works for you as well.

Initially I wrote that philipp_023 helped, but it helped only for one boot, then it was slow again for some reason regardless of bootloader graphics, VESA framebuffer driver and PAT memory checkobxes in xdiagnose.. Problem still here, very annoying!!!

After upgrading from 14.10 to 15.04, there seems to be better performance. Things aren't as slow and choppy as before. It's possible that this issue has been fixed in Vivid Vervet (15.04) and those who are suffering from this and are able to test and confirm, please share your findings here.
Thanks.
Logan Fleur (effleurager) wrote : | #105 |
I've updated to 15.04 this morning, and the performance after installing
the normal updates was still poor. I didn't attempt using the staging
updates, or the latest xserver-
downgraded to 14.04.2 in the meanwhile.

I think you meant to check those boxes, since that's what philipp_023 said
in his fix:
"My system speed got much better after disabling bootloader graphics, VESA
framebuffer driver and PAT memory in xdiagnose."
If you've unchecked everything, then the fix is not the cause of increases
in performance.

I can confirm that the workaround provided by philipp_023 works for me. Graphics and system performance are very good now.
Previously, I had downloaded the latest Intel Drivers (https:/
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0046] (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])

I found a similar bug #1314587 but for unity, perhaps X.org is the culprit here. I still get this occasionally, although I'm using the fglrx driver.
I tried disabling PAT memory in xdiagnose only, rebooted and then got the exact same performance as the original reporter. After reverting the change everything was ok, but as I mentioned before, I still get poor performance from time to time.

Same here (Toshiba Z930 i5) with proprietary Intel driver (1.0.8) on HD 4000 but in other computer (Toshiba Z930 i7) with HD 4400 works perfect.
philipp_023 solution doesn't work. Any solution worked.
I think that is a very important bug and can't be without solve during 6 months.

#115 Logan, any change has worked:
1) Try: Disabled bootloader graphics, VESA and PAT memory with xdiagnose and reboot. Result: no changes.
2) Try: Installed gnome3 and edgers packages and reboot. Result: no changes.
add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa
add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-
add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-
apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
3) Try: Enabled bootloader graphics, VESA and PAT memory with xdiagnose and reboot. Result: no changes.

One comment about this problem is that this bug only affect me when the external monitor is connected. I have two monitors connected on laptop, one using HDMI and other with VGA.

I can replicate the exact same issue that Celian demonstrates in his YouTube videos. In my instances, my Laptop (Lenovo T400) acts exactly the same way, however I have found the following:
If I set modeset for my i915 video driver to 1 (or 0, which pulls the setting of DRM_I915_KMS=y from the kernel config), my framerate increases from 60fps to ~1000fps. This also fixes the sluggishness Celian and others have been complaining about, at least in my instance.
Adding "options i915 modeset=0" to /etc/modprobe.

Matthew's fix only broke my display aspect ratio, forcing me to remove the
added file from a login console to restore normal functioning. Has anyone
else had any luck with it?

I have this bug too. Never in 14.04, but in 14.10 and 15.04 in all DEs. I found a way on youtube that at least solves it for me. It's probably a workaround more than a solution but it works for me.
sudo apt-get install mesa-utils
Now to solve the video tearing
sudo mkdir /etc/X11/
echo -e 'Section "Device"\n Identifier "Intel Graphics"\n Driver "Intel"\n Option "AccelMethod" "sna"\n Option "TearFree" "true"\nEndSection' | sudo tee /etc/X11/
sudo reboot
Ever since that everything's smooth as a baby's butt

Thanks Sancho! This trick also works like a charm for me!

Hi there. I had the same problem (especially noticeable in Chrome) on Ubuntu 16.04 (latest updates) with Gnome Shell installed and using the Dell XPS 13 9350 (latest firmware updates installed) with two displays (4k & 1080p) connected via Displaylink Docking Station D3000.
The fix of philipp_023 fixed it! Thank you very much for sharing!
Using the notebooks UI felt laggy like hell but now things run incredibly smooth again :) There are still minor bugs or lags when I interact with the Gnome UI or change display settings but this comes very certainly from the DisplayLink driver I had to install.
Cheers!

Update: okay, the only thing which is still annoyingly slow is the terminal output (if the system has to update/rerender the terminal because of new stdout/err text it's updated with ~1FPS :-/ The rest runs smooth ...

Sorry - there is no edit button for my previous posts ...
When I run (as mentioned by philipp_023):
> sudo xdiagnose
CHECK only these two: "diable bootloader gfx" & "diable VESA"
but UNCHECK: "disable PAT memory"
Everything (both Chrome/Gnome-Shell UI and Terminal UI) works like a charm for my setup.
Maybe this helps anyone.
Cheers

thanks to philipp_023, my T410 is alive and smooth again after a bad period when I cant use anymore virtualbox because too slow...
It is really annoying when something like this happens. We have to search what is causing the problem, google it, find the right bug and may be a solution or workaround.
Is there an app that check for bugs on a certain computer model and distrib, and alert users that hown this computer about existing bug?
Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
