Solved LXDE crash

B

balanga

Further to my previous Thread 70744 I started a new one as the problem seems to be more specific to LXDE. After installing XFCE the system is stable and the previous crashes do not appear.

I've been using LXDE for quite a while now and it has proved to be fairly stable on systems which had it installed some time ago, however it seems unstable on systems on which it has been installed recently, which makes me wonder if there is an underlying problem in a recent release of one of the dependent programs of which there are fifteen x11/lxde-meta one of which - x11-wm/lxsession is fairly recent.

Is it possible to identify this program as the cause of a crash?

Do you mean /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?

Here is part of it:- (means nothing to me)...

I guess he meant ~/.xsession-errors ... but your /var/log/Xorg.0.log shows it is actually your X server crashing, not the desktop running on it. It might trigger the crash by using some direct drawing or video decoding functionality.

So the first thing I'd look into: Are you using the up-to-date drm drivers from graphics/drm-kmod? The kernel still includes drm drivers (unfortunately), but they are out of date, don't use them. This also means for now that you need the full path (/boot/modules/xxxxxx.ko) in /etc/rc.conf for loading the drm driver.

If you can't find the issue, you can still use your system without DRM, of course with the typical implications on features and performance.
