GNOME Classic & Flashback sessions

[Cavsfan]

Same here. Nvidia driver 319.32 in flashback. The panels appear quickly but, it takes 2-3 minutes (it seems) for the wallpaper, Cairo Dock, etc. to come up.
Compiz also uses a lot of CPU as well. Because of this I haven't been staying in Trusty for all that long at a time.

The issue with the slow loading indicators & nautilus is likely from the new glib source.
At least here downgrading to previous version & they load up fine (libglib2.0-0 (2.38.1-1)

So that's repairable, look for new flashback builds down the road

In deed, I've reminded two people in recent days that we're still really pre-alpha

I was searching for something else and stumbled upon this:

Well I resurrected an older laptop (core2duo, nvidia 8400m, 6-7 year old hdd, ect.

On login both the gnome panels show immediately but -
The sound, datetime & session indicators take about 1 min to appear
nautilus is not handling the Desktop until either clicking on anything in Places or waiting until the 3 missing indicators load

Thats exactly it on my nVidia based machines.

Well I guess i'll make it unanimous.

thanks for that info

I can't seem to downgrade as it's only showing the latest libclib (2.39 something) any ideas how to find and re-install that older one

Well you go here for i386
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source...+build/5135941

amd64 users need 2 i386 packages from above in addition to whichever amd64 ones they need from below link
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source...+build/5135938

To see what packages you can either search libglib2 in synaptic or this in terminal, look for 'Installed: 2.39.....'
apt-cache policy libglib2.0*

Download all needed, put in a created folder, cd to in a terminal & run this. If any error then read, fix & rerun command till good
sudo dpkg -i *.deb

typical 4 packages for amd64 shown in screen, the 2 all.debs are from i386 link
