[gentoo-user] high load from x11-terms/terminator

[gentoo-user] high load from x11-terms/terminator

[Stefan G. Weichinger]

Greets,

I use x11-terms/terminator most of the time and over the last few days I
noticed that these processes generate a high load on my CPUs.

The processes also seem to hang around even after I close the
terminator-windows!

Rebuilding the pkg (and gnome-terminal as well, just in case) has not
yet helped ... it's ~amd64 here, everything up to date so far ... Gnome
2.32 btw

Anyone else noticed this?
Any idea what to look at?

I already did revdep-rebuild, "emerge -avuDN world" ... a reboot etc

That sounds a *lot* like a software bug. Particularly, some supporting
thread gets stuck in an infinite loop (or some wake event or some such
never gets reset), but the main thread continues. Main thread dies
when the app is closed, but the supporting thread continues.

I'd suggest trying older versions until you find what the last version
was that didn't have the bug, and then file a bug report so the
developer can get it fixed.

If you have the x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-275.19 installed, your issue
may be related to

Thanks for the pointer, I downgraded the drivers, looks better so far!
