One more: this bug is well-reproducable, but not 100%. Sometimes (I don't guess why/how; rather rarely) xfdesktrop returns from this state to normal operability. And another moment: refreshing environment while switching to build another package returns i/o (mostrly or entirely) to normal operability. everyones working on xfce 4.8, so 4.6 is no longer maintained by upstream or gentoo. please try with ~arch version of xfce, like xfdesktop-4.7.4. then reopen if it's still a problem. thanks! Similiar issue seen with 4.8 and 4.10. Appeares rarely with increasing PCs power (CPU/mem/etc), but not gone away. Upstream requests a trace (url attached) but I don't guess what and how to trace (debugging is separate rather heavy task, and I'm not shure about success on heavely loaded system, where this bug appears). Anubody hane an idea how to get requested trace? sounds like issue of memory running slow and hitting swap. is there enough swap? OOM (out of memory) might kill some of the required processes or bad niceness value for selected I/O scheduler. using CFQ, deadline or what? what happens in dmesg and /var/log/Xorg.0.log when the unresponsivess happens? you can kill xfdesktop and run it inside gdb to get the backtrace upstream is asking |
