Description

Looks fixed upstream for 4.11 (not in 4.10 due to complex string additions apparently). And I propose we backport it, it's better to have untranslated error dialogs than to have the system silently attempt to use desktop effects with absymal performance. Unfortunately that didn't fix it --kde-workspace-4.10.4-5.fc18.x86_64. It's easy to see the difference as well. With desktop effects enabled, strace -p $(pgrep kwin) shows a select on descriptor 9 continuously firing and talking to the X server (I think it's the X server). With the desktop effects disabled, the select only fires when something happens (key event, mouse event, etc) and that happens whether or not I have external monitors attached to the laptop. It also used to work just fine (pre kde-4.10) so I don't really agree with the O/P that the desktop effects should be turned off, on the other hand I do have a slightly newer graphics chipset (i965, if /var/log/Xorg.0.log is anything to go by). This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '18'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
