Awesome, so it's already being looked into. At any rate, for those needing a temporary solution, here is the hot link to the most recent viewer build that works in the meantime: Version 2.4.0 (216989)

I had an earlier version of the SL Viewer 2 (somewhere in the 2.3 range I think) installed on my 64-bit Ubuntu 10.10 laptop and running beautifully. I was able to access SL just fine up until a month ago, give or take. I've had to wipe and re-install my laptop (for completely unrelated reasons) and the 2.5 version runs incredibly choppy. We're talking less than a frame a second except for occasional, split second moments here and there. Client responsiveness to commands is incredibly lagged to -- even going into drop-down menus lags for seconds after the click. I've been beating around the bush for several hours now but I'm pretty sure I've gotten all of the 32-bit compatibility installed that I had before so I don't think that's an issue (and from what I understand, if that was the case I wouldn't be getting a screen at all) I have an NVidia 8200m G and I'm running the current NVidia drivers. Like I said, I had this running pretty well before 2.5 and lowering graphic settings to the floor does nothing to aid the current situation. Does anyone know what might have changed with the new viewer that might be causing this problem? I tried going back to the 2.3 viewer but the login server is insisting that I use 2.5. Update: It occurred to me to go back and install the 2.4 browser as Ayako mentioned, and that works perfectly. So something changed in the new 2.5 version that is bogging down on Ubuntu. What's the best way to bring that to Linden Labs' attention?
