[Bug 809708] Re: Certain cairo-dock updates correlate to X freezes

 

Hello and thank you for this bug report.

This is strange but it's maybe due to your video card and its drivers...

Can you try to use the dock without the OpenGL backend? (cairo-dock -c)
Which drivers do you use? Can you post the output of this command: glxinfo |grep OpenGL (mesa-utils package is needed)

Title:
  Certain cairo-dock updates correlate to X freezes

Status in “cairo-dock” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  On upgrade to Ubuntu 11.04, the screen freezes during updates to
  cairo-dock. This includes when new applications start, or close and
  cairo-dock updates the icon graphics. The freezes last for 3-4 seconds
  where nothing on the screen updates. Typing on the keyboard seems to
  be cached during the period. Brief freezes are also experienced when
  the dock is hidden and first re-appears. Once the screen starts
  refreshing, the dock operates and animates as expected.

  On the previous 10.10 install, there were no freezes during cairo-dock
  operation. The systems is an Intel Atom D510 with Nvidia ION graphics.

  Starting cairo-dock on the command line shows this:
