 Posted: Fri Dec 03, 2021 12:24 am Post subject: Lots of different GUI applications freezing |
 |
|
I am mostly happy with how my Gentoo currently is, but I am having with quite a few different applications, that tend to freeze at random for sometimes a couple of minutes. Those include:
-Discord
-Element
-LBRY
I use Xorg, Nvidia drivers and no desktop environment, just Qtile and occasionally EXWM window managers.
Sorry for being very vague, but I am not exactly sure how to even begin diagnosing the problem with these applications, so please ask me questions about more details that you think could be helpful. |

| If you still need help, please post the output of emerge --info so we can get a more complete view of your system. You could try to reproduce on an untainted kernel (no proprietary blobs loaded). You could check dmesg after a lockup. |

@Juippisi
I have the binary Gentoo-dist kernel: how do I check for the modules?
I have tried to strace the element app and when the freeze occurs, I get the message: "libnotify- WARNING failed to connect to proxy", which sounds odd to me: I didn't even know you could setup proxies in that app.
@Hu
Here is the output of emerge --info

EDIT:
From that strace I ran, I suspect I know what might have happened. I was at that time not thinking very seriously about using Gentoo and was being annoyed by notifications and I shut them down in a not very smart, but quick way by I think removing the notification daemon, because I just wanted to get rid of them quickly. It seems like it eventually came back to haunt me. |

Thank you all for your help. After I started the notification daemon none of the programs are freezing anymore.
I will have to figure out now how to disable it cleanly, since I don't really want any desktop notifications. |

I don't know if it is relevant for you.
But there is a way to stop notifications on gnome/gtk based desktop:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.notifications show-banners false
So do you have gsettings ?
Notes:
- you need to launch this command at desktop launch session because it's not saved.
- you can use an autostart script from your window manager or desktop
- you can create a desktop file that lauch this command in /etc/xdg/autostart/
