 |
|
Just today, one machine has started acting very strangely.
In kde, the mouse moves, but all of the windows are frozen, with any attempt to activate any of the controls unsuccessful.
There are no messages in /var/log/messages or /var/log/Xorg.0.log.
The one thing that looks wrong is this:
| Code: |
ps auwx
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
root 1 0.0 0.0 1836 592 ? Ss 03:03 0:00 init [3]
root 2 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? S< 03:03 0:00 [kthreadd]
root 3 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? S< 03:03 0:00 [ksoftirqd/0]
root 4 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? S< 03:03 0:00 [watchdog/0]
root 5 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? D< 03:03 0:00 [events/0]

Top is showing high loads with the computre doing absolutely nothing:
| Code: |
$ top

Any idea what could cause this? Thank you in advance.

Maybe iostat can help understand the unusual load average | Code: | # qfile iostat
app-admin/sysstat (/usr/bin/iostat) |

The problem started after a recent xorg update, so I tried reversing it.
Added to /etc/portage/package.mask:
| Code: |
>media-libs/mesa-7.3-r1
>x11-apps/mesa-progs-7.3
=x11-base/xorg-x11-7.4-r1
=x11-base/xorg-server-1.6.3.901-r2
>x11-libs/libICE-1.0.4
>x11-libs/libSM-1.1.0
>x11-libs/libX11-1.1.5
>x11-libs/libXau-1.0.4
>x11-libs/libXaw-1.0.5
>x11-libs/libXext-1.0.4
>x11-libs/libXt-1.0.5
>x11-libs/libdrm-2.4.11
>x11-libs/pixman-0.14.0-r1
>x11-proto/damageproto-1.1.0
>x11-proto/glproto-1.4.9
>x11-proto/inputproto-1.5.0
>x11-proto/resourceproto-1.0.2
>x11-proto/xproto-7.0.14
>x11-proto/xextproto-7.0.4

I also explicitly disabled the xcb use flag, and then recompiled everything. That "fixed" the problem.
It seems that once again, a not ready for prime time version of xorg-server has been foisted upon us.
Any idea which one of these could be the culprit? I suppose I would have to try doing them one at a time if I want to track this down further. |

Did you use these links after you updated | Code: | http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/x/x11/xorg-server-1.6-upgrade-guide.xml
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/x/x11/libxcb-1.4-upgrade-guide.xml |
| Quote: | | x11-base/xorg-server-1.6.3.901-r2 |
You would also need to run this if it didn't take care of them while doing some other part of this | Code: | | emerge portage-utils; qlist -I -C x11-drivers/ |
Then emerge all listed e-builds
If not that could be what caused your problems. |
