Xfce4 and reboot/shutdown problem with xorg-server 1.10

snigga · 2011-04-14 11:59:38

Same thing here.

twix · 2011-04-14 21:39:51

Same here , without (never) using testing.
I have slim and xfce4 installed, i am in the power group, set up slim to use consolekit

Same problem with slim and xfce installed.

I started getting a similar issue as of yesterday. It shows most of the same symptoms (reboot/shutdown problems) and a few extra that I am wondering if others are seeing. The primary other problem is that when I try to suspend the system using the suspend button in xfce it starts to act like it is going to suspend, going to a black screen with a blinking cursor, but then returns very shortly 1-3s) to my user in xfce.
When suspned is entered in the terminal the console hangs up indefinitely (the most time I waited is 10 minutes before closing the window) when logged in as a normal user using sudo or in regular mode. When attempting to suspend in the console as root (using sudo su) it simply exits root and returns to the normal user.

The reason I am unsure if this is the same issues is because these problems started happening only yesterday. I didn't do any considerable system changes other than updating the following programs:
[2011-04-14 07:46] upgraded fakeroot (1.14.5-1 -> 1.15.1-1)
[2011-04-14 07:46] upgraded lib32-libx11 (1.4.0-1 -> 1.4.3-1)
[2011-04-14 07:46] upgraded lib32-libxt (1.0.9-1 -> 1.1.1-1)
[2011-04-14 07:46] upgraded python2 (2.7.1-7 -> 2.7.1-8)

I am using xfce4 with tint2(not that I think that makes a difference in this situation) and slim as my logon screen. Also, as a reference using kernel 2.6.38-ARCH.

If it is not a related problem I am assuming it may be related to the fakeroot update and permissions problem. Any input as to whether this is a related issue or should be posted separately is appreciated. Also, would like to know if anyone else is having the same suspend problems that I am having.

Just did pacman -Syu -- and it updated the following:

[2011-04-16 15:48] upgraded xorg-server-common (1.10.0.902-1 -> 1.10.1-1)
[2011-04-16 15:48] upgraded xorg-server (1.10.0.902-1 -> 1.10.1-1)

When I LOGOFF in Xfce4 (with XDM or SLIM) the error still occurs:

I think I have the same problem but how do I see the backtrace?

In X server log I see anything

blasse · 2011-04-17 10:16:27

Try in slim.log.
BTW

Same here.

My temporary workaround was to disable xfdesktop until the problem is fixed. If you're willing to sacrifice the wallpaper and desktop icons for working shutdown and reboot buttons, here's what you have to do:
If you're logged into Xfce, log out so that xfconf won't overwite your changes.
Open ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-session.xml with your favourite editor, and make it look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<channel name="xfce4-session" version="1.0">
  <property name="general" type="empty">
    <property name="FailsafeSessionName" type="string" value="MySession"/>
    <property name="SessionName" type="string" value="Default"/>
    <property name="SaveOnExit" type="bool" value="false"/>
  </property>
  <property name="sessions" type="empty">
    <property name="MySession" type="empty">
      <property name="IsFailsafe" type="bool" value="true"/>
      <property name="Count" type="int" value="4"/>
      <property name="Client0_Command" type="array">
        <value type="string" value="xfwm4"/>
      </property>
      <property name="Client0_PerScreen" type="bool" value="false"/>
      <property name="Client1_Command" type="array">
        <value type="string" value="xfce4-panel"/>
      </property>
      <property name="Client1_PerScreen" type="bool" value="false"/>
      <property name="Client2_Command" type="array">
        <value type="string" value="Thunar"/>
        <value type="string" value="--daemon"/>
      </property>
      <property name="Client2_PerScreen" type="bool" value="false"/>
      <property name="Client3_Command" type="array">
        <value type="string" value="xfce4-settings-helper"/>
      </property>
      <property name="Client3_PerScreen" type="bool" value="false"/>
    </property>
  </property>
  <property name="splash" type="empty">
    <property name="Engine" type="empty"/>
  </property>
</channel>

Basically, I've just removed the xfdesktop entry from the default session and decreased client count by one, and changed the session name (I don't know if it's necessary, but it seemed not to work without it). I never save my sessions, so this is what gets loaded every time I log in. If you save your session, you may as well just edit the current one (don't remember now where they are stored).

same here, went with the downgrade...

deadshox · 2011-04-19 16:02:21

Same problem with startx and xfce4.8.

Running 'pacman -Syu' for few minutes.

swiftgeek · 2011-04-19 17:03:44

Weird ... if slim (with -nodaemon switch) was runned manually then everything is ok ...

Had somebody noticed some issues with tty1 (yep only 1) while xfce4 is running?
When i'm typing fast some of the characters are missing

And maybe i don't do it properly but when i'm killing slim (e.g. by init 3) slim is killed, but X is still there and... frozen

same problem here - since Sunday with gdm as well (worked before!) - - downgrade xorg-server only solution for me ...

nicke85 · 2011-04-19 20:13:46

I have xfce4+slim after upgrade that bug is here and I can't sleep now ..
If press reboot or shutdown xfce4-session only exit into slim daemon.. my .xinitrc is ' exec startxfce4' and slim.conf is
'login_cmd exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session ck-launch-session /bin/bash -login ~/.xinitrc %session'
everything was perfect before..

Tried it, but didn't notice any difference.

I've had the same problem, and it turned out to be slim randomly eating characters (via stdin). It seems that when multiple processes try to read from the same tty, the "focus" switches between them randomly. I solved it by adding "</dev/null" to the end of slim line in inittab. I have no idea what slim tries to read from stdin though.

And maybe i don't do it properly but when i'm killing slim (e.g. by init 3) slim is killed, but X is still there and... frozen

You mean, "telinit 3"? That's the proper way, if you run slim from inittab. Yes, it has happened to me too. Adding "-terminate" to xserver_arguments in slim.conf should make X exit after slim gets terminated. More worrying is the freeze that seems to occur sometimes. It happened to me when I logged out of xfce too - I couldn't even switch VTs, and caps lock wasn't working. If that happens, try pressing alt+sysrq+r - that should "unlock" the keyboard (make sure you have magic sysrq keys enabled (kernel.sysrq = 1) in /etc/sysctl.conf).

swiftgeek · 2011-04-20 00:14:38

Thanks Rad3k, now all works much better
And new workarounds (exec is returning sth different than 0 when crash occurs... so i had to remove it ):
/rc.slim #I'm using it instead /usr/bin/slim in inittab

#!/bin/bash -l
slim > /dev/null 2>&1 < /dev/null
return 0

.xinitrc

#!/bin/bash
startxfce4
return 0

It's works for me

I wonder how people at Xubuntu deal with this issue. I can't find a single bug report coming from them, and the release date is only in a week...

DeletedUser210616 · 2011-04-20 20:15:05

The slim fix for inittab worked for me, up to date again.

Rad3k · 2011-04-20 20:31:45

@carnagex420x
What? You mean, xfdesktop no longer crashes X?

DeletedUser210616 · 2011-04-20 20:38:43

I edited my inittab, updated, and rebooted without a problem.

Kilzool · 2011-04-21 02:26:04

I am suprised this is not fixed yet.

Is anyone working on it, as far as trying to solve this? (without editting or making new scripts)

DeletedUser210616 · 2011-04-21 04:48:13

i lied, its still broke... rolled back again

sudo halt seems to work fine still and you can configure things so that it doesn't ask for your password.

Behemot · 2011-04-22 19:16:23

I am somewhat curios how this could even make it into stable repo when it has this for some time known and terrible bug?

flan_suse · 2011-04-22 19:33:31

The bug was fixed upstream. The developer considers it a "workaround" and not a proper fix: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7442

As for Xubuntu 11.04, beta 2 still has this bug and I verified it. I believe beta 2 is the last beta before Xubuntu goes final.

Yeah, this was a pretty major bug, especially since none of it is AUR-related nor from the testing repository. I also feel sorry for Xubuntu.
