Hello.
After being on Ubuntu 14.1 LTS for years, I tried to update to 16.1.
Install media Would. Not. See. workstation's RAID so switched to
CentOS 7 (all my production stuff uses that anyway). Immediately
installed TDE, of course, 14.04 I think.
Two issues with Konsole, possibly related to the video driver (card is
an "AMD FirePro V4900" with their drivers).
First is that it seems to have trouble rendering the _ (underbar)
character. No problem leaving random underbars on the screen as text
advances, but can't seem to put them in the right spot. This is most
noticeable on the last line of a screen full of text.
Second, and much more annoying is that when I start Chrome (not my
primary browser but necessary for some sites), Konsole becomes
very sluggish. Not 2400-baud modem slow, but that was the first
thing I thought of. Maybe more like 9600 ... or 14.4 ...
Ideas?
I do run yum update regularly.
"Possibly related to the video driver" is a valid assumption :-)
Please check, if you can get the open source drivers working at a decent speed first. If
that fails, try the proprietary drivers.
