Re: Nvidia driver problem

[Dean Loros <ubuntu1user gmail com>]

Interesting---I'm in the Ubuntu-testing group--we've got the current 2.28 gnome install, checking it's 2.28.0-0ubuntu1--Not sure why that's happening--Only thought I've got is that I'm simlinking my gnome-shell.desktop in the session instead of using gnome-shell --replace....I'll change my session to see if that is the problem......

Thanks for the respond!!!
Cheers!!!

I find once again that I "tend" to be slightly ahead of the curve...I was using the beta 190.42 nvidia drivers & someone at the forums (ubuntu) suggested that I revert to the "stock" 185 driver series---I have done so & the "lag" has reduced--it is still there, but at least I can use the shell for testing.....

I find my xsession-errors flooded with this:

Window manager warning: Failed to read saved session file /home/gnome-shell/.config/mutter/sessions/10d1dd528b4f1ef30f125885782047653400000034480007.ms: Failed to open file '/home/gnome-shell/.config/mutter/sessions/10d1dd528b4f1ef30f125885782047653400000034480007.ms': No such file or directory
Window manager warning: Screen 0 on display ":0.0" already has a window manager; try using the --replace option to replace the current window manager.

It appears that the lag that you are experiencing is the result of Metacity continually attempting to restart itself. This causes all kinds of high-CPU states in various GNOME processes.  Are you sure you are using the latest Ubuntu? This was fixed in gnome-session 2.28.
