Description Matthew Caron 2004-05-19 21:10:07 UTC

I have an Athlon MP box. xosview doesn't seem to work - an strace shows it hanging just after reading the CPU line in /proc/stat. It works fine on my other two uniprocessor machines. It uses 100% of one CPU when this happens.

Solution:

the xosview-1.8.1-kernel-2.5+.diff patch is broken.

Use this one instead:
http://codex.sourcemage.org/stable/x11/xosview/xosview-disk-2.6.patch

Moving that to /usr/portage/x11-misc/xosview/files and renaming it to xosview-1.8.1-kernel-2.5+.diff, then doing emerge xosview fixes the problem. It all works great now.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

Patch in CVS, it should hit the rsync mirrors within an hour. Thanks!
