Description Christian Fredrik Kalager Schaller 2017-01-25 13:14:05 UTC
Trying to write my slides using Impress under Wayland, but the GPU usage keeps going up to 99% and Impress becomes unresponsive.

Comment 1 David Tardon 2017-01-26 09:34:05 UTC
We don't have any similar bug report, which means this is somehow related to your system or usage pattern... Are there concrete steps to get the hangout? Does it happen in a new presentation, or only with a template? Or when inserting an image? Does it happen in normal or outline mode?

If it is not specific to some usage pattern, it might help to get a backtrace: run

dnf debuginfo-install libreoffice-impress

as root to install debuginfo, then start impress, make it hang and run

pstack `pidof soffice.bin` > backtrace

and attach the file 'backtrace' here.

As a workaround, you can use the old gtk2 backend, which doesn't use Wayland. Ensure libreoffice-gtk2 is installed, then start libreoffice from terminal as

SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk libreoffice

could log in under X too to see if its related to wayland and we're innocent or if it persists to rule that in or out

Comment 3 Christian Fredrik Kalager Schaller 2017-07-05 12:45:29 UTC
Closing this old bug as I can't reproduce anymore

Comment 4 Caolan McNamara 2017-07-06 12:51:15 UTC
I bet this was the bug in glib which triggered 100% cpu usage.
