 |
|
JoseJX, once we've been talking about pbbuttonsd cpu load on #gentoo-ppc. The issue is still there (app-laptop/pbbuttonsd-0.8.0).
Sometimes after 2 days uptime pbbuttonsd process takes about 20% CPU load on the G3-600.
Now having this issue again, I killed gtkpbbuttons but didn't solve it.
I had to restart the pbbuttonsd daemon by initscript.

Okay, well let's try a few things seperately:
1. Wireless?
You've set: NETLoad_device=eth1, does this device exist (wireless?)
2. Autorescan
Have you tried disabling this option? Are you hotplugging input devices?

Yes, it's Airport.

Generally I don't change input devices. I disable that and keep an eye on it if it happens again.

I have to admit this annoying bug still exists with app-laptop/pbbuttonsd-0.8.1-r2, and anytime the cpu load is a bit too high the pbbuttonsd process catches my eye with about 15% load. I also have to confess to using this iBook 24/7 and it happens after day(s).
| currently /etc/pbbuttonsd.cnf has...: | | autorescan=false |
And no gtkpbbuttons or similar is running.

well the pmud is obsoleted ... and i have to confess it doesn't resume correctly the machine out of a sleep: 'cause sometime it fails in the resume, and i have to reboot the machine
as pmud is obsoleted i switched to the pbbuttonsd that correctly does sleep and resume
from my point of view, pbbuttonsd is the good replace of pmud
so there is no other choice: the pbbuttonsd is the must, no other choices, no one
and on my powerbook pismo, where i have only static devices, after 96 hours of continuously working & sleep i can't really appreciate this issue we are talking about |

Hi JoseJX, today there is app-laptop/pbbuttonsd-0.8.1-r3 and I disposed my old iBook. But I still have the G4 PowerBook in use. Especially when running with powersave governor I still noticed the high CPU usage of pbbuttonsd. For example currently emerging with MAKEOPTS="-j2" my top shows this: | Code: | 1 PID USER GROUP PR NI %CPU %MEM RES SWAP TIME+ S COMMAND
382 portage portage 39 19 77.8 3.2 64m 16m 0:05.93 R cc1plus
7073 root root 20 0 16.7 0.1 1232 8880 26:23.30 S pbbuttonsd |
This also happened after minutes after restarting the daemon. I disabled all NETLoad* and CPULoad*. autorescan was set to no. All *Autoadj* are set to off. The PowerBook is running without any external USB device, only Ethernet. The Lid is closed and LCDBRIGHTNESS is set to 0. There is no gtkpbbuttons connected since X stays at Slim login manager (I'm using the book externally without display via Ethernet only).

Now reading the (good and detailed) manpage I realized my config was far outdated.
I did some effort and created a new config close to the specification and order of the man-page, only enabling the minimal variables I like to set differing from default: | Code: | cat /etc/pbbuttonsd.cnf
# Configuration file for pbbuttonsd >= version 0.8.0
# For complete list of options please see pbbuttonsd.cnf man-page.

Before I was sure autorescan was disabled, but it wasn't. Even the latest man-page is wrong here: | Quote: | | autorescan = [yes | no] (default: yes) |
The group must be [SYSTEM] and the setting must be false and not no. Now its really disabled according to pbbcmd. At least this issue I'll forward to the mailing list, lets see if the project is still alive...
The CPU usage seems better, always below 10% but still more than normal: | Code: | 1 PID USER GROUP PR NI %CPU %MEM RES SWAP TIME+ S COMMAND
19381 root root 39 19 90.3 3.1 63m 9400 0:24.84 R emerge
18621 root root 20 0 5.2 0.1 1548 8572 0:11.71 S pbbuttonsd |
PS.: I'm not sure how the standard configuration is generated, it is not copied but installed like | Code: | | /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 --suffix=.old -b ./pbbuttonsd.cnf /var/tmp/portage/app-laptop/pbbuttonsd-0.8.1-r3/image//etc/pbbuttonsd.cnf |
Anyway, the configuration does not match the latest syntax, and should at least look like my example above.
-> pbbuttons-users@lists.sourceforge.net man page error, high CPU load, 3.* sources patch
