Bug#643706: [xserver-common] Gnome desktop environment lags and lockups with excessive Xorg CPU usage afer upgrading
Package: xserver-common
Version: 2:1.11.1-1
Severity: normal
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
After upgrading xserver-common from 2:1.10.4-1 to 2:1.11.1-1 (aptitude
update; aptitude full-upgrade every day) and restarting the computer I
noticed enormous lagging in Gnome desktop environment with excessive
Xorg CPU usage observed by top. Switching between application with
alt+tab (eg Icewaesel and Gnome Terminal or Rhytmbox and Gnome
terminal) takes noticeably more time than before and provokes Xorg
process to consume more than 40% of CPU (in some cases over 85% while
the whole desktop environment locks up). Even running Rhytmbox
fullscreen (no visualization, just one sliding element showing
progress of track) makes Xorg process to consume more than 30% of CPU.
Minimalizing the Rhytmbox puts the Xorg process back to 1%. Looks like
Gnome applications (GTK?) are affected the most - eg Nautilus and
Gedit are almost unusable, creating new empty tab in these
applications lockups whole desktop for a few seconds (again with
excessive Xorg CPU usage).
I haven't noticed something interesting in standard system logs, only
this in dmesg, but I don't know if is related though:
oosplash.bin[2670]: segfault at 968 ip 00007fdf7b1a8136 sp
00007ffff695da00 error 4 in libX11.so.6.3.0[7fdf7b167000+139000]
Will gladly provide more informations if needed.
Thanks!
