[SOLVED]Rare X Lockups | Arch64/Nvidia/KDEMod/Wine

speng · 2009-02-28 00:29:25

I was playing World of Warcraft using Wine when suddenly X froze. I could still speak to people on skype, CTRL+ALT+Backspace did nothing, Nor did CTRL+ALT+F1-2-3... etc.

This was what I found in my xorg log:

and so on...

Any ideas? Googled this with no real solution, only bug reports without workarounds.

Thanks in advance!

Googling "EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop.", first result has a link to "Duplicate of bug #276518", which has plenty of workarounds that you say you dont see, most of which are like:

"@maleadt, can you try "System Settings"->"Desktop"-> and disable! "Enable desktop effects" and then logout and work again.
Since switching the effects off, my system never locked again. Otherwise it would lock at least one time a day."

Perhaps that would help..

You said you see a bug report with no workaround, but I see lots of them in that page.

There are no reasons for it, just basically people guessing. Some people thought it was Xinerama, some composite, I use neither.
The last post is a patch to fix it, but I have never compiled anything that big.

Edit: Desktop effect are always off. I don't like flashy stuff.

Interesting. The last person seems to have no further problems. Have you tried rolling back to an older xorg?

A'la ARM, http://arm.nrk.cc/ perhaps if you don't have backups.

I haven't tried using an older version, I'll post back later or possibly tomorrow with the results.

Thanks.

I was having a problem with this and eve-online on wine, the solution for me was to run it on 1 cpu.

schroot -p -- taskset 0x1 wine game.exe

FrozenFox · 2009-02-28 01:21:12

It seems we weren't looking at the same page, but I found what you were referring to. The only patch on what I was looking at was for intel video drivers, and most reported pretty high success with disabling composite. For that matter, I know you have effects disabled, but is composite on in xorg? Either way, the result is the same, no luck with the workarounds.. hopefully the above or an older xorg work. Apologies for the initial post btw, by the time I edited it from realizing it seemed pretty rude, you'd already responded >< need to skip forums at bad times. meh.

I think the problem is a bug within World of Warcraft.

Is there any way of restarting X or shutting it down when it hard locks?
By hard lock I mean CTRL+ALT+F1 etc doesn't work, CTRL ALT Backspace also doesn't work although I can still hear people on skype and talk to them.

This is how it crashes after about 3+ hours of gameplay (not an overheating issue), game screen freezes (windowed mode), I can still move the mouse and click on the taskbar, 3-4 seconds later X hard locks and nothing can get me out of it.

Is there any way for me to shut my system down or X so I don't shut my PC down with rw mounted partitions?

Hope that made sense.

Ranguvar · 2009-03-03 03:41:43

Don't know how to get out of X in that case... I usually just give the PC a minute to make sure most stuff is written to the drive that I was working on, and then hit the power.

Wait, can you Ctrl+Alt+Delete and reboot? That may be preferred over power button.

FrozenFox · 2009-03-06 19:29:03

EDIT: Nvm, won't work, after thinking about it some more. Thought I had an idea to work around it for a moment.

I think I have solved the issue. I have had xfce for a few days now and I haven't experienced any lock-ups yet. I enjoy Xfce more than KDE (feels more natural) so I'm sticking with it until I try another WM.

Pidgin also didn't work with KDE, it would start a chain of zombie processes, system tray corrupted icons (been there for a few months?) and lock-ups. KDE must be incompatible with my hardware in some way.

Anyways, I will mark this as solved unless I get any more lock-ups.
Thanks for helping guys!
