[opensuse-factory] xdpyinfo is using 100% of one cpu
Tw 20171218 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. 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

can you reproduce this? 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 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".

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

backintime in ~/.local/share/backintime/cron_env shows: DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/run/user/1000/bus DISPLAY=:0 KDE_FULL_SESSION=true XAUTHORITY=/tmp/xauth-1000-_0 so, I guess that would be "yes", but I don't know that it shouldn't ??? or, if in fact that does set $DISPLAY. suggestions welcome, I know *nearly* nothing :) 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

Honestly, doing this kind of hacks to detect if X is running is really broken (you could be logged on another display, XAUTHORITY file might be at another non-guessable location, if you use gdm, for instance, etc..) It would be much better to query logind through loginctl to see if user "whatever" has a session open (or through dbus call to logind). -- Frederic Crozat Enterprise Desktop Release Manager SUSE -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

you are speaking above me :(. and if the hangng xdpyinfo instance is to determine a graphic session open, what use is it for a "text" application, backintime is a python script? -- (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
