Created attachment 473580 [details] strace of /usr/bin/lxterminal Description of problem: /usr/bin/lxterminal is responding very very slowly on commands and inputs. Using /usr/bin/konsole instead, gives a smooth working terminal. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): lxterminal.i686 0.1.9-1.fc15 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. open /usr/bin/lxterminal 2. wait. 3. wait. After a while the prompt shows up. Actual results: Very slow reaction of inputs and commands. Expected results: Quick and smooth reaction on inputs and commands, similar to /usr/bin/konsole Additional info: I added a strace of /usr/bin/lxterminal.
Can you try with another vte based terminal such as roxterm or gnome-terminal. I guess this is due to the recent changes in vte.
Here are some more results: I installed roxterm 1.20.5-1.fc15 , this works without any delays. I installed gnome-terminal 2.33.4-2.fc15, which required vte3 0.27.4-2.fc15, this works without any delays. lxterminal and vte 0.27.2-1.fc15 shows still a long delay after each command or input. CMIIW, i think lxterminal and roxterm are both using vte, but gnome-terminal is based on vte3? Regards Karsten
I know what the problem is now: lxterminal tries to draw the background behind the terminal but vte is trying it, too. We had the same problem with Xfce's Terminal and it was fixed recently. I'll try to adopt the fix.
Somehow the problem has been resolved for me although I didn't change anything. Can you confirm this?
Yes, i can confirm this. lxterminal works now as expected. Cordialement!
