Moksha Freeze about moksha HOT 8 CLOSED

Does this happen every time you move a window from one screen to another or sporadically? What is the GPU in the system in question? What drivers are in use with the GPU? What EFL version are you using? What do you mean by "not the same size"? Different resolutions or different physical dimensions?

Confirmed in my case.

Switching between full (means many app run) desktops (I run 9) sometimes induces a lock up, I cant click any Bodhi icon nor panel, but my current windows work normally. When I click exit, almost complete freeze; mouse working, so I must induce reboot. :)

Qwerty I don't understand the description of your issue, but it sounds like it is different from the multi screen issue this thread is about (even the result of both is a Moksha freeze).

Please open a new issue detailing the steps to reproduce you issue on command and include detailed system specs.

Does this happen every time you move a window from one screen to another or sporadically?
I am usually able to avoid the lock freeze if I move an app window from one monitor to the other very slowly and am careful to ensure that the window extents will stay within the screen extents of the monitor I am moving the app window too.

What is the GPU in the system in question?
I have included the output of lshw run with sudo privs below(lshw.txt). I am not entirely familiar with the hardware as listed, so will hope that this provides you with what you are looking for. Apparently and Intel GPU with 915 driver as close as I can tell.

What EFL version are you using?
According to synaptic, the EFL version is: 201610281.18.1bodhi-1

What do you mean by "not the same size"? Different resolutions or different physical dimensions?
The monitors are each a different physical size. Resolution is set @ 1920x1080 on all of them. I believe the sizes are listed (in mm) in the previously included xrandr_to_report.txt file.

Please do let me know if there is anything else I can provide that might be helpful. And thanks so much for getting back to me. This version of Bodhi is pretty darn nice. Fast and clean. I just need it to work with my displays.

So the lock is more likely to occur if you leave the window split between the two screens?

I have an almost identical setup I use once or twice a week and never see a lock up. Also with an Intel graphics card.

Can you please try enabling the Bodhi testing branch and run a system update and see if the lock still occurs with the newer EFL version from there?

from moksha.

I have enabled the testing branch and done an apt-get distro-upgrade. This seems to have cleared up the freeze issue for me thus far. I am going to call this good for now. There still the issues with the control of windows focus and raise not being slowed down by adjusting the delay, but that is a separate issue to this now I think.

Thanks for the direction. I will revisit this issue if this does happen again, but for now it seems to be solved.

Can you see if the work around applied here resolves your issue: http://forums.bodhilinux.com/index.php?/topic/14036-solved-moksha-segfault/?p=102916

This is resolved by using EFL 1.19
