Re: xfce4 freeze on Loongson netbook
With help from many on and off-list, I finally worked around the freeze issue, by doing the following: 1. went back to 5.0 release 2. in .xinitrc, use dbus-lunch startxfce4 instead of just startxfce4. Just in case anyone is still interested in this. Thanks again. - Alan
Re: xfce4 freeze on Loongson netbook
yeah. I upgraded it from 5.0 to snapshot, but just found there is no thunar package in snapshot. so I'm running everything else in snapshot with thunar still in 5.0. That's very likely the cause of library connflicts. I'm compiling thunar from updated ports now ... thanks.

Re: xfce4 freeze on Loongson netbook
below is what i got from startx log. it's better to have some error that i can pass to google. will do my homework first, but wouldn't mind a few pointers if this looks obvious to anyone. :-) thanks.

I installed XFCE4 without any issues, But it will freeze after around 15 minutes, even if I do nothing on it. Starting terminal will cause it to freeze immediately. I can still SSH into this netbook after freeze and everything else seems to be fine. This happens back during 4.9 days. It's the same on 5.0 and current snapshot. Any insight will be appreciated. and I'll be glad to provide any info required to troubleshoot this. I'm not sure exactly what info will be needed, so I'll start with dmesg. More will be provided as necessary: I can't help with your problem but if you run the window manager with startx, the output of startx is always very useful. Run startx with this command: startx 1startx-output.log 21 Also, you can log in your loongson with ssh, execute tail -f startx-output.log and look the errors in real time when your wm is freeze.
