[Bug 561192] New: KDE desktop hangs.
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=561192 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=561192#c0 Summary: KDE desktop hangs. Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.2 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE4 Workspace AssignedTo: kde-maintainers@suse.de ReportedBy: support@microtechniques.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091102 Firefox/3.5.5 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) I am moving this here from Bug 495526 which was closed as fixed, but I still have the problem. I have a similar problem on an HP Pavilion with an Intel i845 graphics card that is running 11.2 and that was upgraded from SuSE 11.1. Using KDE4, if you open Yast2 go to Security and Users -> User & Group Administration and then switch between three different tabs, the system frequently 'hangs'. None of the keys are active, although the mouse still works, and I can access the system via ssh from another machine. Top run via ssh does not show any excessive usage. However, the module knotify4 is at the top of the list and fairly active, but this is also the case when the system is running normally. The shutdown and init commands are ineffective UNLESS I kill all of the X releated processes. If I kill all of the X processes, the screen of the hung system goes blank, but the keyboard is still unusable. I can, however, now reboot via ssh. These yast functions never hang when run from the command line outside of KDE. Other packages such as FireFox also cause the same issue. The problem is not consistent and does not happen every time although it seems to be more likely the longer the system has been running. I have occasionally had a similar problem under SuSE 11.1 and KED3 or KDE4 if I switched back and forth between the GUI and another terminal session using the ctrl-Alt-f# keys, although in those cases, the screen would go black. On this same hardware under SuSE 11.1 KDE3 or KDE4, or SuSE 11.0, I have never had this problem (where the system hangs while I am actively using it). There are no obvious error messages in any of the logs. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.This happens every time that I use KDE, but not at the same point. Sometimes the system my run several hours before it hangs. 2. 3. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
