Description of problem: My login is very slow, because xfdesktop using many of my memory and put my processor use on 99% . Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xfdesktop-4.8.2-1.fc15.i686 How reproducible: I had this problem on my logins on xfce4 on Fedora 14 and Fedora 15. Additional info: When logging into an xfce session, multiple xfdesktop proccess are spawned. At this momento, I had 135 proccess on my computer. To solve this problem, last time, I need to clear the config of ~/.config/xfce4.
I see an bug on Ubuntu, like my problem. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfdesktop4/+bug/335441
This is upstream bug 5123. It's not shown up in a while... ;( I had hoped it was solved. Was this machine an upgrade? Or a clean install? Can you get the duplicate entries to appear again? Or was it a one time issue?
Hello, this is a clean install. When I try to update my Fedora to the new version ( 15 ), I had some problems. But my home ( /home/user ) is untouched. At this login, the xfdesktop has 98 proccess. I had this problem in two of my machines ( work and House ). Now, I will clear the config of xfce4 ( ~/.config/xfce4 ) to try. If I don't have the solution cleaning the config, the problem isn't solved :(
Well, I try to clear the config of xfce4 and the problem is here again. Now, I had 95 process of xfdesktop. I will try now to clear the xfce-sessions.
Hello, I tried two workarounds to solve this problem. One, is a shell script to kill all xfdestkop process on my login : #!/bin/sh { while true do sleep 2 Count=$(ps aux | grep xfdesktop | grep -v killxfdesktopd | grep -v grep | wc -l) if [ $Count -gt 1 ]; then /usr/bin/logger -t XFDesktopd "Killing XFDesktop Process" kill -9 $(ps aux | grep xfdesktop | grep -v killxfdesktopd |awk -F" " '{print $2}') else if [ $Count -eq 0 ]; then /usr/bin/logger -t XFDesktopd "Starting XFDesktop Process" /usr/bin/xfdesktop & fi fi done } & But this script is giving me some problems with some xfdesktop components. Today, I see a workaround on ubuntu launchpad ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfdesktop4/+bug/329616 ) Here, this workaround solves my problem. I made this: 1. rm -rf ~/.cache/sessions/* This delete all the xfdesktop sessions 2. logout 3. ctrl+alt+f(x) 4. rm -rfv /home/youruser/.config/sessions/* I reboot my system and now ... I don't have problems. On the launchpad the user send another workarounds to solve this problem. I believe I had many sessions saved and my xfdesktop had problems to manage them.
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
