Partial Upgrade to Xfce 4.18
by Maurizio Galli 22 Dec '22

22 Dec '22

Hello, Unfortunately there were a few packages of Xfce 4.18 that recently made into X11:xfce and Factory, causing a partial upgrade. Nothing seems to have broken so far and we will send the remaining packages asap. If you notice issues please do report them, and if necessary we may consider reverting back to 4.16. Xfce 4.18 is currently being packaged and staged in https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/X11:xfce:next/. If you wish to contribute to the upgrade effort, it is very much appreciated, and you can send SRs there instead of X11:xfce. Thanks, Maurizio -- Maurizio Galli (m4u) Xfce Team https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Xfce

Xfce 4.18 - how to proceed?

Hi there, you probably all know this: <https://alexxcons.github.io/blogpost_8.html> My question is how will we address this? Is anybody already working on providing this for Leap 15.4 and Tumbleweed? I'd like to offer to help with this, but before I'll be going to copy the whole project and start working on it myself, I thought I'd rather ask here... Wouldn't X11:xfce:next be a perfect playground for it? TIA, cheers. l8er manfred

I have several rolling tumbleweed based systems and no issues there on the same machine . . . . '12 cMP i7 4core @stefan s: Yes, in the long history of using XFCE, back to approx '07 or earlier, there has been issues of GUI "freezing" . . . in PPC based systems, etc. This is longer than 1 minute AND can not get to a TTY from with the freeze . . . . -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Bnc-team-xfce mailing list Bnc-team-xfce(a)forge.provo.novell.com https://forge.provo.novell.com/mailman/listinfo/bnc-team-xfce

This lead to display "hangs" of about a minute without content updates, don't remember if the mouse pointer still moved. A text console login showed, that the xorg processes were consuming lots of CPU. AFAIR the update process continued in the background, it was just no progress visible on the desktop. I have not noticed this in recent times, but I'm now using a slightly newer / faster machine (only 10 years old core i5-3320M Thinkpad 430 ;-) instead of the old one before (13 years old core2 duo ulv Thinkpad x200s), and maybe now it is just the occasional "10 seconds hang" and no longer the "almost one minute hang" and I just don't notice it anymore. So especially if this is an "older" machine where this happens, just waiting longer for it to finish would be my first option. In order to debug this, I would have a ready-logged-in text console handy and in case the GUI hangs would check if the last installed packages (should be visible in journal or with "rpm -qa --last|head" are font packages indeed. I'm not sure who is "to blame" for this issue, if it is the X server dynamically reloading the changed fonts or the graphics toolkits, but that's a secondary question, once you find out it is actually the same problem I was seeing. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Bnc-team-xfce mailing list Bnc-team-xfce(a)forge.provo.novell.com https://forge.provo.novell.com/mailman/listinfo/bnc-team-xfce
