Bug 348571 – media-libs/mesa: eselect'ing mesa (7.9-r1) r600g (6.13.2) results in memory leak and then oom to kill KDE (4.5.4)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description Yan-Fa Li 2010-12-12 23:36:29 UTC]

If I select mesa r600g and login to KDE desktop, memory starts being consumed and then the OOM kicks in and kills part of  the desktop (kwin).  If I revert back to classic then all is well again.  Not sure what gentoo can do about this other than report it upstream.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. enable mesa gallium r600
2. login to KDE 4.5.4 desktop
3. run top and watch memory start to get eaten

Actual Results:  
OOM starts and kills the offending process.  Kwin.

Expected Results:  
Shouldn't leak.

r600g in mesa-7.9 is not working well yet. That is why classic is default. If you want to use gallium, you can try mesa-9999.ebuild from the x11 overlay. That should work better.

[Comment 2 Yan-Fa Li 2010-12-13 00:22:39 UTC]

I would love to but due to upstream breakage in libx11 I can't build qt or xul and kde :(

Are you sure about that? Did you try the fresh version? I don't remember any trouble building Qt, and the xulrunner-related trouble comes from its poor code only :P.

[Comment 4 Yan-Fa Li 2010-12-13 08:30:55 UTC]

Bug 347603 has a link to the discussion at fd.org, someone decided to change a library interface post 1.4 release that is embedded in a lot of libraries like QT.  I had mesa 9999 on my system up until yesterday when I discovered the thread, because I couldn't build kde 4.5.4.

[Comment 5 Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn 2010-12-13 10:39:09 UTC]

For mesa-9999, using libX11-1.4.0 from portage will satisfy the dependencies.

[Comment 6 Yan-Fa Li 2010-12-14 06:09:04 UTC]

Thanks, this kind of worked, but now eselect-mesa is messed up.  It doesn't run at first claiming it's missing a file /usr/share/mesa/eselect-mesa.conf.  I've tried removing it and reinstalling it but it doesn't seem to fix itself.

[Comment 7 Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn 2010-12-14 09:24:01 UTC]

This means that you are using an old mesa-9999.ebuild, most likely your x11 overlay is stale.

Sorry, when I try to emerge I get this :(

x11-libs/libX11:0

  (x11-libs/libX11-1.4.0, ebuild scheduled for merge) conflicts with
    x11-libs/libX11[xcb] required by (media-libs/mesa-9999, installed)

[Comment 9 Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn 2011-01-12 00:20:16 UTC]

Reporter: Please try again with mesa-7.10.

[Comment 10 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) 2011-01-12 20:41:40 UTC]

Please get back to us.

Thanks
