Multiple processes with maximum CPU usage

[joelsleeba]

OS: Arch
Kernel: 6.5.5-arch1-1
Hyprland: 0.30.0-1
xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland: 1.1.0-3

steps to reproduce:

1. Start Hyprland
2. Exit Hyprland
3. Start Hyprland

Now there was maximum CPU usage. I checked htop to find two proceses with PID 777 and 829, both of xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland utilizing over 100% of the CPU thread. I ran strace on the two processes. Details below

what if you kill xdph and restart it? Maybe it's an old session that is confused?

[thejch]

have this issue too. for me restarting xdph fixes it, but if i reboot this happens again

[camms205]

I am having a similar issue where if I close hyprland and restart it, there is an xdph process that is taking a large amount of cpu. Killing the process works fine and the issue goes away until I restart hyprland again.

[joelsleeba]

Yes. Same behavior. Once I kill one of those processes, the CPU usage is back to normal, but at the expense of xdg-..-hyprland. It happens almost every time I exit and relaunch Hyprland.

patch.txt

Apply this patch, add -v to launching xdph and redirect its logs to somewhere (so e.g. -v > /tmp/xdphlog) and provide the log from an offending session, please :)

[joelsleeba]

[LOG] Initializing xdph...
[CRITICAL] Couldn't create the dbus connection ([org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.FileExists] Failed to request bus name (File exists))

This was the output. I don't know where to run xdph from. I added it to the hyprland config with exec-once

[vaxerski]

try the nuclear script from here

[joelsleeba]

I used the code snippet. But now I cannot seem to get a conflicting session and hence no cpu throttling. I wonder if it is because the script kills xdph beforehand.

[vaxerski]

possible

[houdinihacker]

Same for me (I'm using sway). Found this topic when my coolers went to the moon. I'll try to apply patch today and let you know

[vaxerski]

check with the above commit please :)

[pavanbhat1999]

Hope fix comes into release version soon.

I have the same issue in Nixos as well. Little bit modification in nuclear script is working fine for now.

[thejch]

Issue seems fixed on the latest commit

[vaxerski]

closing then
