It happens to me now and then, and I'm using intel drivers. I have noticed
that most of the times it is when I switch from a full screen vmware
workstation VM to another task. The symptoms are the same. Usually I can
connect from other machine to the VM and shut it down, and then reboot the
computer.

Sometimes it happens once or twice a day, and then comes a new driver and
the problem vanishes for a month. Then another upgrade brings it back.
Actually, I haven't suffered it for at least two weeks...

No suggestions, only that I think that it is not related to the radeon
drivers.

Max, i have ASUS F3Ke laptop with ATI X2300 and i do not have such
problems with xf86-video-ati driver, but if be honest i'm a kde user. Try
to compare vmstat output when system behavior is normal and when it's
freezes and post it here if there will be any difference.

Re: [arch-general] Gnome Shell freezes

[Max]

Hey, thanks for your responses.

@Gan Lu: ATI canceled support for the proprietary driver for X1400.
Using the vesa driver won't work because gnome shell requires hardware
acceleration.

@Simon: Actually I will try killing gnome-shell next time. I always
killed gnome-session or the xserver. or simply stopped gdm. We seem to
have different problem though. I use CTRL+ALT+{UP,DOWN} quite a lot and
it never hung up when switching between workspaces.

@Roman: Doing vmstat 2 > vmstat.log & now. Actually I don't know what to
do with the information after a crash but it will provide more insight.

If anybody else experiences similar problems, please comment.

Hi Max. Try to use system diagnostics tools like `vmstat 2`(2 is a
timeout) for example, probably you will find the key to resolve you
problem. By the way did you fill /etc/hosts with your PC's hostname ?

I see the same issue pretty much once a day on my Lenovo work laptop,
where I use two monitors via the two display ports that their crappy dock
provides.

It usually happens when I'm doing a CTRL-ALT-UP or DOWN key sequence to
move between virtual desktops. Does it happen to you during a similar
action?

The Levovo is a T420S with an Intel graphics chip. It actually runs
great, handles two decent res screens at once, but I get the gnome-shell
lock-up at least once, usually after 20 minutes or so after booting.

On my old Dell Inspiron 1420 that I use at home, nVidia based, single
screen; it has never exhibited the same issue.

My workaround is to CRTL-ALT-F1 to a console, login then issue a
"killall -HUP gnome-shell", logout, then change back to F7. That fixes it
and amazingly everything is still where it was desktop-wise.

I know this doesn't help much, but I thought I'd relay my experience as
it does sound similar.

Cheers.

Since you guess ati driver would be the reason, why try it with vesa
or binary driver, then see the result.

[arch-general] Gnome Shell freezes

[Max]

Dear arch users and developers,

I have posted this issue also in the archlinux forum [1]. I didn't get
much feedback there. So I'm hoping some people here might have an idea
of how to resolve the problem.

Problem:
gnome shell freezes from time to time (actually daily).

Freezing:
"Freezing" means, the screen becomes unresponsive but everything seems
to continue working (sound and videos continue playing; even the mouse
pointer can still be moved). Most of the time I'm able to switch to a
virtual console although sometimes it takes 10-20 seconds after
CTRL+ALT+F1 to show up. Then, however, everything is running smoothly.
It's not possible to restart X since it will freeze again at the gdm
login screen, or even without using gdm when loading the desktop.

What triggers the problem:
Usually it happens while scrolling on websites or pdfs. I feel like it
happens more often if there are large images.

Hardware:
IBM T60
ATI X1400

I think it's an issue with the open source radeon drivers. However, this
problem doesn't occur using other desktop environments. I tried to look
into some log files but I couldn't find noticeable error messages.

Looking forward to your suggestions,
Max
