Hi, I posted before about build problems with E19, and seem to have solved those. For the record (and anyone searching the mailing list archives)... - edje segfaults during elementary build was caused by left over modules in /usr/local/lib/edje/. Have to run "make uninstall" in _both_ efl and elementary source directories before building. Although edje is installed with efl, some of its modules are installed by elementary. These are apparently not compatible when a newer efl's edje tries to load them. - constant crashing and respawning of efreetd was caused by loading contents of a cache directory. As this was presumably first created by E18, format change or corrupted contents were likely to blame. Nuking the cache directory (~/.cache/efreet, i think it was) fixed this.
Anyway, with these problems solved, I decided to have a go at enlightenment 0.20.2, with efl/elementary 1.16.1. It all works, but i'm left with what appears to be an intermittent memory leak. Currently I have the following status for enlightenment, having just restarted it: ~$ ps u -p 3303 USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND conrad 3303 5.9 1.4 790196 119480 ? Rl 11:39 1:45 /usr/local/bin/enlightenment Leaving this running ovenight, with pretty much just chrome and xscreensaver running, that %MEM value went up to just over 50% some 12 hours later. Issuing "enlightenment_remote -restart" brought that right back down to 1.2%. Then, barely some 3 hours later with more heavy use (opening/closing windows, etc.) it was up over 80%. So much so, that the enlightenment desktop was unresponsive except for showing cursor movement. I had to switch to a text terminal to kill enlightenment. I tracked down the efreetd crashing problem by running it under gdb and using a backtrace. I'm afraid i have no idea how to go about finding what's causing this memory usage, though. Any suggestions for debugging welcome! :) Thanks, -Conrad. -- Whenever and wherever you want. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ enlightenment-users mailing list enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users
