| Ascavasaion | I have been editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf for ages, and nothing i do makes any difference. It is as if the xorg.conf file is not even being used. Some advice? | 10:32 |

| Endie13 | hi guys. Lubuntu sometimes freezes. And it seems that PCMan causes the problem. Is there a reliable way to check if it's the reason and are there any common problems with PCMan? | 18:15 |
| wxl | Endie13: why do you say pcman seems to be the problem? | 18:16 |
| Endie13 | I notice that the PCMan running is the only constant | 18:18 |
| wxl | Endie13: how much of your resources is it consuming? what are your load averages like? can you still mvoe the mouse? | 18:18 |
| wxl | Endie13: also what version do you have (of lubuntu and pcmanfm), and how much ram/cpu you got? is swap setup? is ANBYTHING else running at the time of freeze? | 18:19 |
| Endie13 | I can't move the mouse. The system doesn't response at all. Sometimes I even have to power off the machine. Chromium is usually running all the time. The system unfreezes quite soon if it's not loaded with other processes. But sometimes I start a virtual machine and the PCMan seems to be the last straw. However problem appears when the vm is off as well. I have lubuntu 15.10 with PCManFM 1.2.3. | 18:24 |
| Endie13 | 2 GB ram. 2 GB swap | 18:24 |
| wxl | Endie13: my first suspicion would be chromium. | 18:25 |
| Endie13 | 1.66 Ghz, 2 cores, 4 threads | 18:25 |
| Endie13 | do you suggest I switch to firefox for sometime? | 18:26 |
| wxl | Endie13: no. it's more that browsers tend to consume a lot of resources, especially memory | 18:34 |
| Endie13 | I opened two tabs, went through some directories and checked top, pcman takes up to 30% cpu and 31000 RES | 18:34 |
| wxl | Endie13: if you're using plugins (flash, java, even html5), it'll hog up your cpu, too | 18:34 |
| wxl | Endie13: does it remain at 30%? | 18:35 |
| Endie13 | no, it immediately drops down when I stop clicking | 18:35 |
| wxl | so it jumps up every time you click on a directory? | 18:36 |
| wxl | !info pcmanfm wily | 18:36 |
| ubottu | pcmanfm (source: pcmanfm): extremely fast and lightweight file manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2.3-1.1 (wily), package size 255 kB, installed size 1818 kB | 18:36 |
| wxl | ^ do you have 1.2.3 or 1.2.3-1.1? if the former, you should upgrade | 18:36 |
| wxl | also what sort of file system you using? | 18:36 |
| wxl | Endie13: this is the only bug i can find that mentions freeze or froze https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pcmanfm/+bug/914725 | 18:40 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 914725 in pcmanfm (Ubuntu) "pcmanfm crashed with SIGSEGV in _g_utf8_normalize_wc()" [Medium,Confirmed] | 18:40 |
| wxl | all bugs are here btw https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pcmanfm | 18:41 |
| Endie13 | is ext4 | 18:41 |
| Endie13 | and 1.2.3 | 18:41 |
| wxl | so upgrade | 18:42 |
| Endie13 | ok. I'll do that | 18:47 |
| Endie13 | terminal says I have the newest version | 18:48 |
| wxl | post the *exact* results of `apt-cache policy pcmanfm | grep -ei '(Installed|Candidate)'` | 18:51 |
| Endie13 | no such file or directory | 18:52 |
| wxl | then you typed something wrong. don't include the `` | 18:52 |
| Endie13 | I didn't | 18:53 |
| Endie13 | I must say I'm quite new to linux so I might even used a wrong command in order to update | 18:53 |
| Endie13 | I used `sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pcmanfm` | 18:54 |
| wxl | i don't know why grep -e is failing but it is | 18:54 |
| wxl | try this: | 18:54 |
| wxl | post the *exact* results of `apt-cache policy pcmanfm | egrep -i '(Installed|Candidate)'` | 18:54 |
| Endie13 | empty line :) | 18:55 |
| wxl | uhhhhhh | 18:55 |
| wxl | that makes no sense | 18:55 |
| wxl | i just ran it here and get two lines back | 18:55 |
| wxl | and even if you have something uninstalled it will still return something | 18:55 |
| Endie13 | wait a sec | 18:56 |
| wxl | unless you typed pcmanfm wrong | 18:56 |
| wxl | if the package doesn't exist at all (e.g. foobar), it will return empty | 18:57 |
| Endie13 | what's wrestool? | 19:16 |
| Endie13 | is it archive manager? | 19:16 |
| Endie13 | the system froze again when I open an archive | 19:16 |
| Endie13 | RES 712 000 | 19:17 |
| Endie13 | !info wrestool | 19:18 |
| ubottu | Package wrestool does not exist in wily | 19:18 |
| genii | Endie13: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=wrestool&mode=exactfilename&suite=wily&arch=any | 19:21 |
| Endie13 | well that wrestool thingy is definitely a (or even the) trouble maker | 19:26 |
