(sorry to quote but this will keep the conversation on the list..)
Thanks Ivica, it makes sense to try this out. I should have thought about it yesterday. The student and her machine are gone now, but I'll write her and ask to try this out.
I still wish to know if anybody is experiencing something similar to better understand the issue. Can't try on my machine 'cause I've got 10.04 and don't wanna change it or alter it by now.
Will keep you updated, best, Marco

** Just as an experiment, could you please try pd-l2ork to see if you are experiencing the same problems? If so, that should point towards system issue as the two iterations have relatively different way of drawing objects. Please make sure not to mix the externals between the two as they need to be recompiled for pd-l2ork.
P.S. FWIW Pd-l2ork is maintained under Ubuntu.
Thanks!

Hi folks,
yesterday I tried my Xth Sense system on a student's machine running Ubuntu 11.10 and Pd-ext 0.43.1 from the latest autobuilds.
- Strangely enough, Pd would start with real-time flag at anytime (from a
launcher of from a terminal without any flag). We had to do $ pd-extended -nrt to get rid of the real time. Why this happens?
- is Flatspace being removed from Pd-ext?
I couldn't find it in the extra folder. I needed it for [line3]
- The GUI has a bad responsiveness, nbx are slow, sliders and graphs are
updated every 1 second or similar. Usually it works flawlessly both on Linux 10.04 and older and OSX. Is this being experienced by someone else with the same system?
I would like to understand whether this depends on my software, on the Ubuntu distro, or Pd-ext 0.43.1. We improved Pd GUI performance by replacing Unity with Gnome Classic, but still the GUI was quite unresponsive.
any hint is appreciated. thanks!

This is the exact version of Ubuntu we use in L2Ork (FWIW). On my testing machine I also use 11.10 so I can confirm that pd-l2ork runs on both just fine as long as you have supporting libs (identical to pd-extended). Pd-l2ork also installs in a separate folder from pd-extended/pd so there should be no problems. The only thing you may need to check is /usr/local/lib/pd-l2ork/defaults.pdl2ork (or whatever its name is) and make sure to exclude /usr/local/lib/pd folder in case you use that for other versions of pd as you don't want to mix externals from the two versions (it will cause crashes).
Best wishes,
Ico
Will keep you updated,
