I don't run anything virtual on the Rivendell machines I use. The files
are all on local, non-removable, hard drives.
Recently, the principal user of one of the machines found that it will
respond to mouse-clicks if he holds down the Control key while
left-clicking. So, this evening when I got a phone call from him, I VNCed
in and control-left-clicked my way to a terminal window. It wouldn't
respond to commands at first, but I tried various combinations of control-
and alt-, and suddenly the problem completely disappeared and the machine
started behaving normally.
There must be something in xfce that is getting triggered by something one
does in the normal course of running a radio automation system.

Hi... not actually Rivendell related, but certanly so in general-purpose
Linux desktops (mine, more specifically :-P, but quite long time ago... I
use Debian testing in my computers, so I'm not surprised experienced issues
from time to time), and its just as you describe.
In my experience, what leads to that behaviour were related to some kind of
filesystem access/handling issue.
Either the filemanager application instance that is handling the Desktop
itself crashed (Desktop being often yet another Folder at user home folder)
misbehaved
Or some nasty GNOME Virtual Filesystem happened that lead to the problem
above to happen.
Chances of those problems happening greatly increased if/while stressing the
system with mounting remote filesystems, and/or mounting multiple remobable
storage devices, and/or having many file manager windows opened while moving
bunch of files between them.
Sure, your problem could be totally different... this is just what I've
experienced.
Best regards.

In the past week, I've seen two different Rivendell systems
become unresponsive to mouse clicks and keyboards.
You can move the mouse cursor, but can't actually click on
anything. rdairplay continues merrily along playing audio, and
if you ssh into the machine, you can enter commands and they'll
work normally. But the person in the studio sitting in front of
the machine -- or anyone logged in via VNC -- can't do anything
but watch. If I reboot the machine, the problem will go away.
Of the two machines where I observed the problem, one runs
Rivendell version 2.19.3; the other is running 3.4.0; both are
running CentOS 7.
Has anyone else encountered this problem?
