Bug#650183: gdm3: Continuously starts X servers, uses too much CPU time and RAM

2012-06-11 Thread Fabian Greffrath 
I experienced a similar (the same?) issue and eventually got around it 
by upgrading to the latest libgl1-mesa-dri package from sid, 8.0.2-2 
at that time.


Good luck,
Fabian

Bug#650183: gdm3: Continuously starts X servers, uses too much CPU time and RAM

2012-03-31 Thread Arthur Magill 
Package: gdm3
Version: 3.0.4-4
Followup-For: Bug #650183

Dear Maintainer,

I have the same problem. After running an 'apt-get dist-upgrade', with nothing
that looked too significant, I have the same bug. According to
/var/log/Xorg.*.log, X reached 390 connections before giving up. I have
switched to XFCE and lightdm to regain access to my system. Maybe related, even
via lightdm I am still unable to start a Gnome3 session. I have tried purging
GDM3 and reinstalling, to no effect. I also tried restarting gdm and rebooting,
both producing no change.

I don't even know how to investigate further - any suggestions?

Thanks!

  Arthur

Bug#650183: gdm3: Continuously starts X servers, uses too much CPU time and RAM

2011-11-27 Thread Stephen Kitt 
Package: gdm3
Version: 3.0.4-4
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Since upgrading to gdm3 3, I've noticed that the gdm3 daemon spends
its time launching X servers; currently I have

 |-gdm-simple-gree---{gdm-simple-gre}
 |-gdm3-+-58*[gdm-simple-slav-+-Xorg]
 |  | `-{gdm-simple-sla}]
 |  |-2*[gdm-simple-slav---Xorg]
 |  |-46*[gdm-simple-slav]

|-gdm-session-wor-+-x-session-manag-+-evolution-alarm---{evolution-alar}
[snip one user's GNOME session]
 |  | | `-{gdm-session-wo}
 |  | `-{gdm-simple-sla}

|-gnome-power-man---2*[{gnome-power-ma}]]
 |  ||   
|-gnome-settings2*[{gnome-settings}]]
 |  ||   |-metacity---2*[{metacity}]]
 |  ||   
|-polkit-gnome-au---{polkit-gnome-a}]
 |  ||   `-3*[{gnome-session}]]
 |  |`-{gdm-simple-sla}]
 |  |-gdm-simple-slav-+-Xorg
 |  | 
|-gdm-session-wor-+-x-session-manag-+-changer.sh---sleep
[snip another user's GNOME session]
 |  | | `-{gdm-session-wo}
 |  | `-{gdm-simple-sla}
 |  `-{gdm3}

with vast amounts of logs accumuating in /var/log/gdm3 as X servers
are continuously started even though the system has long run out of
VTs.

Currently, with an uptime of 15:48, the root gdm3 process has
accumulated 4:55 of CPU time used, and 603MB of RAM. On a 3GHz Pentium
4 with 3GB of RAM this is rather a lot.

I've previously tried restarting gdm3 and rebooting the whole system,
but the behaviour remains the same.

Do you have any idea what I could do to determine the problem's cause
and/or fix it?

Thanks in advance,

Stephen
