ioscat Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 (edited) Hello everybody. I have a problem with H:12 with navigating in viewport by holding SpaceBar. It has a delay about 1 sec before navigation starts. Had anybody ever got this trouble? In addition I can say that multiple press Spacebar results in multiple delays. /sry for English/ Edited April 24, 2012 by ioscat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourfather Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 What distribution, what graphics drivers, what version of Houdini? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( quadro 2000 ) i considered that ' normal ' . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ioscat Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 It seems not to depend on heaviness of geometry at all. Delay/Lag takes place even without any geometry in new window. We suppose Linux tries to perform something when SpaceBar is pressed, but our search didn't give any solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malexander Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 admin made all job, can i find this information myself in my pc? Run 'nvidia-settings' from the shell, it'll tell you all you need to know about your graphics system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malexander Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Thanks a lot! NVIDIA Driver Version: 295.33 NV-CONTROL Verson: 1.27 The driver version looks ok to me. You can also use the Spacebar to pan in the network view without picking any nodes - do you get the same sort of lag when you do that?

ioscat Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 Network view seems to work nice. Maybe it lags from time to time but no so noticeably and not repeatebly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabiano Berlim Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 If you can change the distro, try Ubuntu. Houdini works like a charm. Maya also seems to work better in Ubuntu then CentOS and Fedora. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heiligeslama Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I had the same problem with fedora 16. I don't think its the graphics card alone, because I didn't have any lag at all if I didn't use spacebar to navigate the viewport (escape key over the viewport to get to the camera nav tool then it worked fine for me). I couldn't solve the problem and switched to Sabayon which works really good for me. I would really be interested why fedora behaves that way.

rus_n07 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I have the same problem. Fedora 17. On ubuntu everything is fine, but I like Fedora and do not want to move to it. I think it can be configured gnome? Can anyone else come across or know a solution to this problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edward Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Personally, this sounds like a graphics driver issue to me. eg. make sure you're using the closed source drivers? also turn off compiz, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magneto Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Is this related to the issue where when you press space over the viewport, Houdini doesn't trigger navigation? It still thinks the parameters pane is in focus for instance. So pressing W over the viewport, actually opens up the Object Tree List inside the parameters pane This is on windows though.

rus_n07 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 (edited) Sorry for my bad English. Fedora 17, graphics card NVidia Quadro FX580, driver version NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-302.17. Navigation in the viewport is normal, no problems at all, except for the fact that the SpaceBar works with some delay (and if a few times quickly to press, have to wait some time). A trifle, but a unpleasant. I'm new in Linux, and I want to know whether there is a similar problem with other users Fedora or I need to blame my lack of experience)) Edited August 12, 2012 by rus_n07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Visual Cortex Lab Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Hi, I had the same exact problem and it was VERY annoying, and had nothing to do with graphics card or OS ... causing the problem was the MOUSE. Microsoft wireless mouse to be specific. sorry I can't be more helpful (I changed mouse) but worth checking! my 0.02c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heiligeslama Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I am currently using Fedora 17 with the KDE Desktop and I dont't have the navigation lag. Everything works as it should as long as you can live with KDE. If I switch to gnome the lag problem occurs again both in a clean install or if I have both desktops installed in parallel. I suspect that it is some strange config in the x server, but currently I am not able to tell more. I reported this as a bug quite a some time back and it was acknowledged as one. But until now there is no solution for this. I'll keep digging and let you know what I find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green-Man Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 It seems crazy but I have solved this problem on Frdora 16 by INTALLING Compiz. Yes, I didn't need it and Metacity was fine for me. Yes I've tried to configure Gnome, Metacity many times to solve this Space lag. But only Compiz has helped. Interesting that there were no such a lag on the same machine on CentOS 6 which is similar to Fedora. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
