|
|
In the last week or so, the KDE "kicker" (panel) has run for a
while and the suddenly become unresponsive, ignoring the mouse.
The only recovery I have found is
Code: | % kill -9 <PID of Kicker>
|
and then run
from a shell of the logged-in user.
I'm using kde-base/kdebase 3.3.2-r1 on
Gentoo 2.6.10 on a Dell Optiplex GX400.
This problem seems different from

Has anyone else had recent freezes? [edit] The freeze happens
reliably after `Run Command'; see 5th posting. [/edit] _________________ Your thread resolved? Putting [SOLVED] in its title helps all Gentooers. (Button "edit" , first post)

The random freezing is still happening. In case the following
can help anyone else, here is the script that I use to recover
from the glaciation...
Code: | #!/bin/sh

kill -9 $(ps -C kicker -o pid= )

Are you using the kasbar and something wxwidgets related? That was the only combination I could crash the kicker recently. |

Not that I know of; I don't know what those things are.
I have not had a freeze for several days. The freezes I've had
show no correlation with anything that I'm doing, so I don't
want to file a bug report.
One could suspect hardware failure, but the freezes only happen
to kicker, nothing else.
Maybe this is one of those problems that an `emerge world' will
fix at some point.
Thanks for your reply, by the way. _________________ Your thread resolved? Putting [SOLVED] in its title helps all Gentooers. (Button "edit" , first post)

Further progress: OMSystem, with KDE running,
if I use the KDE menu (a large "K" often at the left of `kicker')
to invoke
then kicker freezes. I can `kill -9' kicker, then re-execute (as
the same normal user) `kicker', and a functioning new one appears.
And `Run Command' just as effectively freezes kicker.
A test of a handful of other items in
did not cause a freeze.
Any confirmations of these?
Note:
Code: | % esearch -F kde-base/kdebase
* kde-base/kdebase
Latest version available: 3.3.2-r1
Latest version installed: 3.3.2-r1 |

Tonight I emerged
Code: | Wed Mar 2 20:15:50 2005 >>> kde-base/kdelibs-3.3.2-r4
Wed Mar 2 20:17:11 2005 >>> media-gfx/xloadimage-4.1-r2
Wed Mar 2 20:18:01 2005 >>> sys-fs/device-mapper-1.00.19-r2
Wed Mar 2 20:20:52 2005 >>> media-libs/imlib2-1.2.0-r2
Wed Mar 2 20:28:41 2005 >>> media-libs/libtheora-1.0_alpha3 |
and the
problem seemed to have disappeared. _________________ Your thread resolved? Putting [SOLVED] in its title helps all Gentooers. (Button "edit" , first post)
