12.1 RC2 64bit

Anyone else having a slow shutdown response? I click shutdown, and then nothing happens for a long time. Anywhere from 10 to 60 seconds. The taskbar and panels are unresponsive during this time, though application windows are still responsive. Finally the shutdown is initiated and then it moves along quickly thru the kernel portion and powers off. I've seen this on two different Sony laptops.

I have seen exactly the same thing with XFCE on SuSE 11.4. Now I log out without options (so no shutdown etcetera) I do not have the delay anymore. Thought it was related to polkit actions that where not defined correctly. It can be unrelated, but mybe not. Because my sandybridge processor based HP probook 6360b comes to a complete unresponsive halt when using KDE every half an hour (without any error message) I had to stop using KDE. Luckily I can use KDE apps still. Very much am hoping that 12.1 will solve this.

I tried the suggestion of disabling the logout sound. Didn't help.

What is probably happening is the the session manager, responsible for managing the desktop logout, requests that all apps close themselves. When this is complete, the desktop is logged out and the OS can shut itself down. I assume something is taking a long time to wrap up what it is doing and let the session manager know it is ok to proceed.

I would try testing with logout, not shutdown, and try closing all the running apps you can see before logging out. Then check if any particular process is busy (CPU) at the time of the shutdown.

Are you using a grid on the desktop? I notices that it takes a long time, to get the shutdown menu, when clicking on the desktop, after I enabled the grid on the desktop. -- Richard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

I guess you mean configuring the Desktop Grid containment, or are using an Activity using the Desktop Grid template? I haven't noticed this but can test.

I don't use activities yet => hence I mean the Desktop Grid containment (but this is on openSUSE_11.4 to be precise). -- Richard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

Thanks for the tips. I tried some different things and made a discovery. It seems that if I logout or shutdown using the mouse/menu then it goes quickly and works fine. However if I press my power button (which I have set to do shutdown) then I get the lag. That is an odd discrepancy. Sounds like bugzilla time. If I recall it was similar for me in 11.4. -- Captain Penny's Law: You can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of

I also see this but using the normal method of shutting down. During one such episode I did CTRL+ALT+F3, logged in as root and did HALT - but even this did not work and I had to hit the Big Red button.
