the last several mornings I have one cpu pegged at 100% by xdpyinfo. Starts at 3:00am local time, but doesn't appear to be started by a cron job and I cannot locate a systemd timer that appears related.
killing the two related xdpyinfo instances relieves the 100% cpu.
sorry, should have included: X.Org version: 1.19.5 GeForce GTS 450/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA 387.34
can you reproduce this?
no, instances are owned by <user>, but starting an instance from cl completes displaying info to screen, and ends. the instances using 100% cpu do not end.
If so, you should be using "ps -fHu <user-running-xdpyinfo> | grep -C 3 xdpyinfo" or "pstree | grep -C 3 xdpyinfo" to figure out which process was calling
tomorrow I will do this.
xdpyinfo. If that doesn't reveil the evil, you can try brute-force using find -x / /boot /var /usr /home -type f -print0 | xargs -0 -r fgrep -l xdpyinfo
to get a list of files whose content reference "xdpyinfo".
running "brute-force" now.
will advise.
found culprit, tks I have a python backup instance runs at 3am every day, backintime: /usr/share/backintime/common/tools.py def check_x_server(): return 0 == os.system( 'xdpyinfo >/dev/null 2>&1' ) for some reason the xdpyinfo instance persists. I have the same software running on my server but with an ati card. guess I need to try a different nvidia driver version as I didn't have the problem until recently and the current driver is also recent. tks for the help. If the driver change doesn't solve it, I'll be back. tks -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
