Cosmic UI "freezes", requires restarting cosmic-panel to remediate #281
Comments
It appears that this issue could be related to the interplay of |
Here's journald logs from a fresh login where the problem occurred moments after starting Alacritty.

Here is a full log of killing and restarting

And for funsies, here's logs for an instantiation where the lockup has yet to occur (hopefully you can filter between noise and signal having two traces)

Oh, one other interesting detail: My last logline was at 15:16:20 but the time froze at 15:19:34 in this latest run. Maybe this issue doesn't even show up in the logs? |
It might be worth testing with #282 and pop-os/cosmic-applets#696 which both will be merged soon and contain a lot of changes. I'm not sure of the cause of your issue, but it may just be fixed by the update |
@ashley I am running the binaries from those PRs now. With this version, cosmic-panel would not stop restarting, I saw in the error logs it was 'too many open files.' Pop-OS installed with a soft limit of 1024 and I can't seem to figure out where the heck to set it (I changed it in systemd and reloaded, reexeced, rebooted, but no matter what cosmic-greeter/session seems to have 1024 soft file limit at start) I'm working around this with a shell command that uses EDIT: I had originally posted that the panel was not working and the systray was broken. This is my fault -- I must have neglected to copy cosmic-applets properly into /usr/bin after compiling. I rechecked md5sums and saw they were wrong. Now that I've copied the right cosmic-applets in, I can report that my issue appears to be resolved EXCEPT that the number of open files issue is preventing it from starting. I have to jump into a terminal and reset the number of open files for cosmic-session so it can then spawn cosmic-panels with a bigger number of files limit. |
It brings up popups for apps in the app tray. |
I just edited my above comment about the app tray misbehavior -- it was my fault! But I'm still plagued by that number of open files issue, which I'm concerned might hit other people on the distro -- this is a new install as of a week ago of Pop OS epoch 2 iso. |
Description
When using the cosmic desktop in a normal fashion, the UI elements will occasionally stop responding to all input events. Icons that are normally clickable cannot be clicked, and ui elements that update (e.g., the system time) freeze at the moment of the issue. killing

seems to remediate the issue.Environment
I'm not sure what's relevant so just tossing a bunch of data here for reference
