[Bug 827018] New: Toggling Plymouth on/off causes X to take 20% of CPU when playing videos

Plymouth came up from page 4 on. When plymouth bug https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=811185 was resolved it solved my issue, too, but after subsequent kernel update from 3.7.10-1.11 to 3.7.10-1.16 and all relevant patches my problem reappeared while the original permissions issue apparently stays fixed. Booting into earlier kernel and downgrading systemd and udev has no effect. Currently I add "plymouth.enable=0" in boot options to watch videos playing smoothly.

Actually, this is optimus laptop and I use bbswitch to power down nvidia card and blacklist nouveau with /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf, I haven't installed any of the rest of Bumblebee packages. Meanwhile, "rd.plymouth=0" in boot options also solves my problem. I don't know if modprobe.d conf files are read after/separately from initrd, so blacklisting nouveau might not stop its clash with plymouth during intird stage. At one point I removed bbswitch and blacklist-nouveau.conf and the problem was still there, though that was on the previous kernel where plymouth-0.8.8_git201211022126-4.6.1.x86_64 fix solved the issue, until the latest kernel update. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Originally my problem was overheating, to the point of laptop turning off while doing zypper patch or watching HD videos for longer than ten minutes. Turning nvidia off, luckily, worked like magic for me, laptop runs even cooler than on native Windows 7, and video playback turned out to be a plymouth issue. I would happily complete Bumblebee and install nvidia drivers and whatever else is necessary but those packages are still not finalized for openSUSE and working configuration is a matter of luck, so I'll wait. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Frederic, why has this one been reassigned to X.Org component? Still the issue only occurs when Plymouth is active. X developers are *not* responsible for fixing or the development of plymouth.
Xorg is the one taking 20% cpu more, so you might have some hints about what is going on. Moreover, I don't see how plymouth could have an impact on playing video, since plymouth is terminated when Xorg will be used for video playback. To me, it looks like having KMS driver loaded too early is causing due to the entire "hybrid" stuff. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

next step would be to boot with "plymouth.debug=stream:/dev/kmsg" in both case and attach dmesg output for both case, to see what is going on with plymouth..
Yes, I'm using this latest plymouth version and after it came out my problem was fixed. The problem returned after kernel update from 3.7.10-1.11 to 3.7.10-1.16 that came a few days after plymouth fix. I assume initrd was regenerated after applying both of those patches.
