All,
Testing the new soft-freeze packages has disclosed a horrible problem with
tdepowersave taking nearly 100% of the CPU. My laptop was nearly on fire this
morning:

Earlier in development I saw tdepowesave in the 20-40% range, but never at
near 100% of CPU. What to try?

What kernel do you use? I had the same problem on wheezy with 3.5.13.2. tdepowersave took
100% of one core. It occured after tdepowersave put the x61 to powersave the second time.
It looks like the problem went away after changing to kernel 3.12-0.bpo.1.

Darn,
On attaching the debugger to the launch, you get some interesting output, but
then tdepowersave goes back to taking its normal 5-7% of CPU instead of 97% of
CPU. Maybe this just happens on initial startup? Is its failure to register with
systemd the problem? Here is the output:

From what you posted earlier this is a dbus-related problem. I don't
recognize the error messages, so I don't think it's coming from code I
wrote. :-)
Slavek, did you change tdepowersave to include more dbus support in the
past few months?
Thanks!

What kernel do you use? I had the same problem on wheezy with
3.5.13.2.
tdepowersave took 100% of one core. It occured after tdepowersave put
the x61 to powersave the second time. It looks like the problem went
away after changing to kernel 3.12-0.bpo.1.

Kernel is 3.13-5.1 (just a few days old), So this is happening with
current kernels.

From what you posted earlier this is a dbus-related problem. I don't
recognize the error messages, so I don't think it's coming from code I
wrote. :-)
Slavek, did you change tdepowersave to include more dbus support in the
past few months?
Thanks!

Try attaching gdb to the runaway tdepowersave process--that should at

We need to check your and Francios setup. I think your are still using the
init-script to launch tdm which invokes systemd-sysvcompat (/usr/bin/init)
instead of pure-systemd. My goal is to have TDE function with pure-systemd.
Arch no longer has any init-scripts and relies solely on systemd. TDE now has
your dbus patch from tdebase-kdesktop-systemd.diff which has probably solved
part of the problem. We just now need to solve the rest of the problem.
We probably can do without a complete multiseat implementation, but my latest
patch in 1902 includes the full port of the kde4 multiseat solution to TDE which
builds just fine -- I just need help connecting the loose ends. I have that
patch plus the patch that explicitly sets the 'greeter' pam environment as well.
Again, it and multiseat build just fine on current TDE, I just need your help
making sure all the proper connections are made and there are no k->tde Qt->TQt
issues. The patch is attached:
tdebase-tdm-logind-multiseat_03+greeter.patch
I will also try to figure out the startup files Francios provided, but like
I've been saying, TDE is in need of systemd migration or these type of problems,
along with messed up udev/polkit user access will make strike for every install
that is pure-systemd (not systemd-sysvcompat reliant)

That service file does not launch a display manager, it calls the wrapper

This is pure-systed. There is no wrapper script that ultimately launches some
wrapper with "exec something".
In Francios setup on Mageia, that is exactly what happens. The Mageia service
file is:
cat prefdm.service
[Unit]
Description=Display Manager
After=livesys-late.service systemd-user-sessions.service
# On Mageia gdm/X11 is on tty1. We explicitly cancel the getty here to
# avoid any races around that.
# Do not stop plymouth, it is done in prefdm if required (or left to the dm)
Conflicts=getty(a)tty1.service plymouth-quit.service
After=getty(a)tty1.service plymouth-quit.service
OnFailure=display-manager-failure.service
[Service]
ExecStart=/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon
Restart=always
RestartSec=0
IgnoreSIGPIPE=no
That service file does not launch a display manager, it calls the wrapper
script prefdm which essentially calls /etc/X11/lookupdm to get the name of the
display manager via (45TDE and 45TDE.conf) and then does:
preferred=`/etc/X11/lookupdm "$dm"`
[ -n "$preferred" ] && exec $preferred "$@" >/dev/null
2>&1 </dev/null
That isn't systemd -- that is systemd-sysvcompat. That setup just relies on
getting "EXEC=/opt/trinity/bin/tdm" from 45TDE.conf and then launching it as
an
init script.
We need TDE to work with systemd.

Arch no longer has any init-scripts and relies solely on systemd. TDE
now has
your dbus patch from tdebase-kdesktop-systemd.diff which has probably

From what you posted earlier this is a dbus-related problem. I don't
recognize the error messages, so I don't think it's coming from code I
wrote. :-)
Slavek, did you change tdepowersave to include more dbus support in
the
past few months?
Thanks!
Tim
I see it as a combination of several pieces:
1) Commit a7e4c6b5 added to tdehw-lib support for reading the state of
the
switches on the input event devices - through tde_dbus_hardwarecontrol
==
dbus calls.
2) In the case of David because of pending issues arch + systemd × pam
not
working properly communication with tde_dbus_hardwarecontrol.
3) tdehw-lib monitor the status by constant rereading hardware devices
=>
repeated dbus communication with tde_dbus_hardwarecontrol (see 1) ) =>
for
David see problem 2).
The key factor seems to be the problem 2)
I have a test machine with Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy), which also uses
systemd
(consolekit uninstalled) and without any intervention session works
correctly. François reports some RPM distributions that use systemd
also
without problems. I plan to add setting XDG_SESSION_CLASS to 'greeter'
in
TDM. However, I do not know if it will help for Arch.
Other things that could be addressed are:
1) Resolve the situation so that when the user is not authorized to use
tde_dbus_hardwarecontrol that communication was not repeated. But this
looks
like it could be "ugly hack".
2) Change the method of tracking changes in tdehw-lib to avoid having
to
constantly process the device tree. This looks to be useful in the long
run,
but now is not the time for such changes.

tde_dbus_hardwarecontrol works properly, but on subsequent reboots loading from
login, I have experienced the old error:

Ahh - it is the systemd user session tracking problem....
Slavek,
We need to check your and Francios setup. I think your are still using the
init-script to launch tdm which invokes systemd-sysvcompat (/usr/bin/init)
instead of pure-systemd. My goal is to have TDE function with pure-systemd.
Arch no longer has any init-scripts and relies solely on systemd. TDE now has
your dbus patch from tdebase-kdesktop-systemd.diff which has probably solved
part of the problem. We just now need to solve the rest of the problem.
We probably can do without a complete multiseat implementation, but my latest
patch in 1902 includes the full port of the kde4 multiseat solution to TDE which
builds just fine -- I just need help connecting the loose ends. I have that
patch plus the patch that explicitly sets the 'greeter' pam environment as well.
Again, it and multiseat build just fine on current TDE, I just need your help
making sure all the proper connections are made and there are no k->tde Qt->TQt
issues. The patch is attached:
tdebase-tdm-logind-multiseat_03+greeter.patch
I will also try to figure out the startup files Francios provided, but like
I've been saying, TDE is in need of systemd migration or these type of problems,
along with messed up udev/polkit user access will make strike for every install
that is pure-systemd (not systemd-sysvcompat reliant)
