Description Norman Rieß 2021-02-20 17:12:28 UTC
xfce-base/xfce4-meta-4.16-r2 does not seem to work with net-misc/x2goserver any more.
After login the x2goagent process creates maximum load on one cpu core while the desktop is unusable slow.
The only exit is to kill x2goagent manually.

This problem did not exist in xfce-base/xfce4-meta-4.14.


There is a reference on the Gentoo forums:

Comment 1 Jonas Stein gentoo-dev 2021-02-20 23:46:27 UTC
Thank you for the report. We need to have all information at hand before ticket assignment. That is why I ask you to 
* attach the logs and 
* paste the emerge info 
as described on https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Attach_the_logs_to_the_bug_ticket

Sometimes there are visible precursors in the compiler warnings.

Which versions of net-misc/x2goserver did you try?

Also search for upstream reports on high CPU load in this combination
Comment 2 Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2021-02-21 08:04:36 UTC
Try disabling USE=xcomposite on xfwm4.
Comment 3 Norman Rieß 2021-02-21 09:07:41 UTC
Thank you Michał, this completely solved the problem.
Comment 4 Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2021-02-21 09:22:26 UTC
I think it's a problem with x2goserver.
Comment 5 Norman Rieß 2021-02-21 10:06:48 UTC
This issue first appeared on x2goserver-4.1.0.2 after updating XFCE. I updated to net-misc/x2goserver-4.1.0.3-r1 with the same effect.

I am afraid, there is no build log for x2goserver or xfwm4 in /var/tmp/portage.


So here is the info of x2goserver:

I hit the same bug and stopped my migration from LXDE to XFCE4... I will try to help as much as I can, but I am not an S/W engineer.

Here's my emerge --info

Michal which file I disable setting: "USE=xcomposite" ?

I too run: xfce4-meta-4.16-r2  with x2goserver-4.1.0.2 and it is very, very slow; almost unusable.  I try to downgrade to x2goserver-4.0.1.22; it compiled OK but I'm missing: all the file in dir: /usr/lib/x2go
Comment 10 Joseph 2021-05-06 04:56:08 UTC
The x2goserver-4.1.0.2 is very, very slow. Almost unusable.
When I set session type: XFCE the keyboard and mouse does not respond at all.
Session type: Connect to local desktop - it is very, very slow.

I went back to x2goserver-4.0.1.22 and selecting session type: XFCE, the system very fast and responsive.  
But Session type: Connect to local desktop is slow as well.
I don't know why?

Does it has to do anything with the the fact the CPU has an Integrated Graphics?
AMD Ryzen 5 3400G with Radeon Vega Graphics, 16MB of memory.

Create a file "/etc/portage/package.use/xfce" with the content "xfce-base/xfwm4 -xcomposite".
