OpenSUSE :: KDE Freezes When Changing Focus?
May 25, 2011
KDE has been randomly freezing/stalling when changing window focus, opening, or closing programs. It does not seem to be restricted to any particular programs. If I change focus by clicking in a new window, often, when the system comes out of it's frozen state, the mouse is still in a button down state even though I've released the click.No errors are generated in /var/log/messages or in ~/.xsession-errors.I'm running 11.3 and here's the output of uname -a:
Code:

for a month or so I have had a problem with the way that a programme interacts with (I think) KDE. If I go away to a different vitual desktop/workspace, the programme in question locks up, using 100% of CPU and I have to kill it. I thought it was due to a buggy update and that it would get sorted in time. The prog is a windows prog running flawlessy under Crossover, at least it was until this started. If is put all my open windows on the same desktop,

Just installed a new computer with ubuntu 10.10. I assign shortkey alt+1 to move workspace left and alt+2 to move workspace right.When I move workspace the focus application move with me to the new workspace. That is kind of annoying since I usually build up my workspace with mail here, music here, surf here. After sometime with this new "feature/bug" I got application all over the place.1) How do I turn this off?2) How do I enable dragging application from one workspace to another.

I'm hit with a very annoying bug: mouse clicks do not give focus anymore, focus stays trapped and sometimes right clicking the element that last had focus allows the next left click to move focus. I'm running wheezy with kde. Searching the web it I found no solution but it seems my problem is close to what is reported there:e issue: after alt+tab the window decoration changes as if the focus had moved to the new window but it stays trapped in the previous window. Rebooting does not fix the issue.I have nvidia graphics set up with dual screen through the nvidia drivers but this setup has been working good for several months, so I don't think it's related.

They promise a lot for this camera: Full HD recording in 1080p, brilliant pictures with 10 MP resolution (2592x1944), Carl Zeiss optics, autofocus for 7cm and beyond .So I got this camera at a local shop and fired up guvcview. The camera produced a picture right away. An that's about the end of the success story.
After some unsuccessful attempts to focus on the building on the other side of the street I closed guvcview and started a Google search. It turned up the following message by kpeppard, "Support Specialist":
Also, our webcams are only made to go to a maximum 6 feet then it starts to get blurry. HD Pro Webcam C910 Focus Issue (MacOS) - Logitech Forums In fact the camera can focus down to a distance of about 4cm (better than they promise). But when the focus is set to the best possible "infinity" the image is in focus at a distance of 40cm. Anything further away gets blurry. I made all my experiments with the best possible resolution using fswebcam
Code:
fswebcam -d /dev/video0 -i 0 -r 2592x1944 -p YUYV logitech.jpg
and guvcview in video mode @1920x1080.

I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 x64 and already am really annoyed by Firefox, which freezes my mouse after changing a tab (with ctrl+tab, alt+#) or closing it (ctrl+w). After about one second, i can continue working as usual. Changing Tabs by just clicking on one does not freeze anything...Maybe some of you would think now if I am crazy because of complaining about such a little thing, but it is really annoying if you are used to work fluently with ff.Edit:I today noticed, that not only shortcuts in firefox, but all Hotkeys freeze my mouse for a second. For examle ctrl+c, ctrl+v, super+e or anything else.Do you have any Idea what causes this behaviour? Reinstalling ubuntu didn't change anything

Is there some sort of program that will run in a terminal that will spit out the name of the current process that has focus in X every time it changes?

how do you do it? I only manage to change Icons for applications that are "pinned" to the destkop.When I go to the root folder, all I get are Songbird icons for all applications.So I changed the Firefox and Dolphin icon on the panel. Now, when I open Dolhpin, the new icon appears on the panel next to the name of the open location.But when I go to the kmenu, it still has the old icon.When I open Firefox, the open windows on the panel still has the standard firefox logo.

Until a recent update, I had no trouble figuring out how to set my preference that a window would become active when the mouse entered it. Since then, about a month ago, I have been unable to find a means to do that.

I love Sloppy focus (focus follows mouse) and "Don't raise windows on click" that Compiz support.So I am wondering, if Gnome 3 also have these options?

i moved to 10.4 and would like to set a key-binding to the "window key" for "Hide all normal windows and set focus to the desktop". This option was possible in 9.04. No when i go to System > Preferences > Keyboard-Shortcuts and try to change the shortcut to the above function it does not accept the win-key as a shortcut.

Pypanel is a great lightweight panel for window manager users, but I'm seeing a problem for which I've been unable to find a fix, or patch. Unfortunately pypanel has been inactive with no further development for a number of years so it's not likely to see any new releases with a fix any time soon.
The problem is that when a new window is opened in most window managers, the new window gains focus by default, and it shows at the top of the window list. However, pypanel does not show the new window focused within the panel unless you click on the task button in the panel, or you click somewhere on the newly opened window. All the other panels that I've tried focus new windows immediately after they open by default, just like most windows managers do.
I've run across others having the same issue, but no fixes or patches found after many hours of searching. Would any of you happen to know of a fix, a patch, or a work around other than using a different panel application?

So for example, I uses VBscript to script out my tasks in Windows, and more recently PowerShell.From a Linux Admin's point of view, what scripting would he/she need to know? Would being proficient in Bash be sufficient or should you supplement that with something else? (if so, what is that something?)

I just installed OpenSUSE 11.4 - fresh install (no upgrade). However with 11.4 there is a very annoying bug (actually, two of them, but I'll post the other one to a different thread): every few seconds (10 or 15) the system 'freezes' for a split second. anything that is going on (visible) freezes for half a second or so. If you're in the process of moving the mouse, the pointer will stop dead in its tracks for that half second, and then when it resumes (a half-second later) it picks up from where "it would have been" had there not been a freeze (it will jump from one position on the screen to the next, as per the actual movement of the mouse. If I have a window (a terminal window for example) that is scrolling output, the scrolling will stop for the same half-second. I did a quick monitor with 'top' refreshing every tenth of a second, and when this freezing occurs is *seems* to coincide with spikes in the kernel thread 'kworker'. I have a hunch that this *may* be due to new built-in NVIDIA drivers that are in 11.4 that I wasn't using in 11.2 (where I compiled the driver from scratch) as I have seen a few posts about issues with this and the 'nouveau' driver - this is just a hunch. Not that dmesg also reports this log quite frequently:

This is a FAST system (3 GHz and four cores) that is otherwise running IDLE, other than logging into KDE. So it's not a case of high CPU usage or I/O usage. The video card is: VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT216 [GeForce GT 220] (rev a2). I have installed a basic KDE 64-bit distribution, using NO proprietary repositories - it's essentially and "out-of-the-box" install.

I'm using Opensuse 11.4 with KDE and have set the workspace type to "Netbook". Lately I have been experiencing complete freezes of the workspace (the horizontal panel and all it's widgets and elements, the activity pages and even yakuake won't respond to it's hotkey) but the Alt+tab and the Ctrl+Alt+F12345678 key combinations and other programs that might be already running (like firefox and Akregator) don't experience any problems and keep functioning uninterrupted. Sometimes the workspace remains unresponsive indefinitely and in other cases some prodding and left-right click spamming seems to remove the problem in some weird magic way... I usually notice that this freeze has happened after i decide to take a break from browsing with firefox and try to close it thru the 'application control settings' widget. That's when i find out that it's buttons can't be pressed and with an alt+tab to the desktop I see that I can't interact with it in any way. Most of the time i have to reboot my computer through the Ctrl+Alt+F1 terminal...
I also have to mention that i recently started using tumbleweed but the problem was there before that and nothing seems to have changed after the update from the tumbleweed repository.

I tried a kde live cd last week and quite liked the unbranded look on booting. I am using 11.4 m1 kde 4.5 and am trying to replicate the look. As I have automatic logon set to 'yes' there are three stages. Have changed the boot option menu graphic OK and workspace upstream but am struggling with the middle part. This still shows the suse green. which file I need to change?

This isn't really a problem or an issue but I'm kinda curious about it. I thought openSUSE generate a hostname like "linux-xxxx" when you install it and that was it. But for me it generates a new host name every time I turn on my computer. For example, right now it's "oseiler-linux" yesterday it was "mac-sophia". I'm wondering how it generates these kinds of hostnames.
