nohang on Debian (package from repo) starts with nohang.conf and nogang-desktop.conf at the same time

and the fix for it would be?

[hakavlad]

The fix is: The services (nohang.service and nohang-desktop.service) should not be enabled at the same time.

nohang 0.2.0-1 on Debian 11 (probably the problem is also in other versions)

After installing the package:

$ sudo systemctl is-enabled nohang.service
enabled

$ sudo systemctl is-enabled nohang-desktop.service
enabled

and the result is one of two (randomly):

$ sudo systemctl is-active nohang.service
active

$ sudo systemctl is-active nohang-desktop.service
inactive

or

$ sudo systemctl is-active nohang.service 
inactive

$ sudo systemctl is-active nohang-desktop.service
active

-- since the start of one service leads to the stop of another (due to Conflicts=nohang.service in nohang-desktop.service and Conflicts=nohang-desktop.service in nohang.service), only one of the two services remains active each time after the system is rebooted.

Suggestion: keep enabled only nohang.service by default.

Sorry I missed this issue completely, but then nohang 0.2 is also like from 2020, is there any plans for a new release? Unfortunately it's missing Debian 12...

I would like to close some issues and set a tag, but there is no time yet (more precisely, this task does not have a high priority).

It's time to update nohang-desktop.conf: for example, firefox processes now have different names (old is Web Content, new is Isolated Web Co)
(7. Customize victim selection: adjusting badness of processes config section should be rewritten).
