[opensuse] Plasmashell and Firefox freezing if started within five minutes of log-in
Hi all, Since todays set of updates for openSUSE Leap 42.3, which seems to have included kernels and Systemd updates, my plasmashell will fail to fully load after log-in. It shows the small working area handle in the upper corner but the main control bar is missing. Running `killall plasmashell && kstart plasmashell` will result in exactly the same if done withing roughly five minutes after log-in. Once about five minutes have passed plasmashell will come up fine after a restart and then work flawlessly. The same issue happens for Firefox. If started within the first five minutes after log-in the window will come up, but it won't load any tabs and I can't interact with it. Once roughly five minutes have passed I can start it and it works as usual. Also, konsole works basically, but it will sometimes freeze. Then only killing the window will recover it. This, too, vanishes after the (about) five minute mark. Has anybody observed anything similar after todays update? I have tried booting with the previous kernel version (4.4.79-19.1), but this did not make a difference. The only red lines I found in the Systemd journal is `eventfd() failed: Too many open files`. This however happens about twice per minute: Sep 08 00:43:28 eddie dbus[1730]: [system] Activating via systemd: service name='org.freedesktop.RealtimeKit1' unit='rtkit-daemon.service' Sep 08 00:43:28 eddie systemd[1]: Started RealtimeKit Scheduling Policy Service.

I wouldn't recommend any updates until the download.opensuse.org servers are functional again because all the mirrors are two days out of sync. Maybe you should roll back if you can and wait for the server to be fixed.

Hi all, Just wanted to make one small addendum to my described issue. Am Freitag, 8. September 2017, 01:03:56 CEST schrieb Matthias Bach:

I have now also tried this with a different user and IceWM. Same behaviour as described shows for Firefox and Gimp. Also, while IceWM seems to work fine the logout won't work.

The servers aren't fully functional yet, a traceroute -T download.opensuse.org takes me to ftp.opensuse.org. I'll try an update. Dave P -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I have firefox started as part of my saved plasma5 session. I've just updated and restarted and everything is functioning normally. I've got intel integrated graphics, maybe it's something related to your graphics?

I have NVIDIA. But as the NVIDIA driver didn't change and e.g. Steam works perfectly even before Firefox and plasmashell come up it think the graphics driver is unrelated. Today I actually logged in before getting the kids to back, and when I came back plasmashell had actually come up fully. So it seems it doesn't get stuck permanently, but kick-starting seems to shorten the cycle.

I see that the main update repo is working again, did your update start with a libzypp patch? You may have to rerun your update. Dave P -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I see the old desktop locking up is back again. I'm frequently having to use Ctl-Alt-Esc to kill the desktop and log in again. This also started after the update. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
