Firefox and/or mate-panel freeze and lock Xorg
Hi,
Debian Bullseye with latest Mate as DM.
Every now and again, something happens whenever Firefox is loaded and
the whole screen is locked. I can't open a terminal and I can't move
between workplaces (ctrl + alt + left/right).
Then I have to switch to a virtual terminal (ctrl + alt + F2), check
"top", but there is plenty of CPU and RAM available.
Nothing weird in either dmesg, /var/log/messages or /var/log/Xorg.0.log,
apart from:
(EE) event0 - AT Translated Set 2 keyboard: client bug: event
processing lagging behind by 33ms, your system is too slow
[BTW libinput is a pain in the a. on my Thinkpad T440)
I do:
$ killall mate-panel # nothing happens in graphical mode
$ killall firefox # Then I restart FF but the freeze happens again
# killall Xorg # Xorg restarts, I log in and restart FF, but the same
freeze happens
# reboot # That's the only thing that fixes it.
Where do I go from here?
