instable X after upgrade to buster - X? firefox? liberoffice? screensaver? lxde?
Hello, together,
after trapped into upgrade from stretch to buster, I get
(1) x server crashes after closing multiple libreOffice windows
(2) inacceptable response times after resuming from screen saver
================================================
Details for (1)
After crash, libreOffice restores open documents and opens them all
as stacked windows.
I repeatedly click on the "minimize" button to clean up my desktop, and
when I klick on the empty desktop after the last office window is gone,
X server session terminates immediately and drops to login screen.
I reproduced this three times.
I could NOT reproduce it by clicking on the empty desktop without
libreoffice restore cycle before
====================================================
Details for (2)
After resuming from screen saver, response times to mouse and keyboard
event increases to several seconds.
It's even hard to work on a "Konsole"
Killing firefox (using system console) and maybe some other medium to
large applications alleviates the symptom.
Restarting firefox in the same session immediately slows down again.
I experienced similiar behaviour with lotus notes & wine.
After reboot, performance is normal again.
Feels like bad old WIN$ :-(((
I have a similiar behaviour with firefox 68 on my old laptop running
Windows7. So it might be related to firefox?
Top shows Xorg using ~ 103 % CPU (on a AMD 4300 quad core)
Mem is 16 GB and still ample free.
==============================================
I don't know whether this problems are related.
I also can't pin it down to some specific package.
So I'll ask the list before filing a bug.
May workstation was set up with KDE in jessie.
Upgraded to stretch in early 2019
Forgot to set apt sources to release, so I ran into buster last week
without having planned so.
Anyway, seamless upgrade between releases ist a debian promise, right?
currently using lxdm and lxde
I struggled with the known bug of X not starting after upgrade.
During fixing, I tried different display manager and desktops (Gnome,
KDE)
dual screen
VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G92 [GeForce 9800 GT]
(rev a2)
lsmod: I think current driver is nouveau.
dpkg: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:1.0.16-1
Anybody else with similiar experience?
Wolfgang
