Title: gnome-shell high cpu usage
Post by: terroreek on 2018/06/25, 02:19:33

Hi All,
I am wondering if anyone else has noticed this but I have noticed recently but when I watch videos in gnome, gnome-shells cpu usage jumps up.  htop will show gnome-shell go from 0-10% and as soon as I start a video, either from VLC, a youtube video in either chrome or firefox I find cpu usage for gnome-shell jumps up to 220-260%. 

I've tried disabling all extensions, and I can't seem to find a bug report.  Has anyone else noticed this problem??

hmm ... if I were to take a guess I am thinking its because the OpenGL renderer isn't my GTX 1080?

Ok I think the problem is the GLX module isn't loading;

Code: [Select]

[     6.759] (**) NVIDIA(0): Enabling 2D acceleration
[     6.759] (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the GLX module; please check in your X
[     6.759] (EE) NVIDIA(0):     log file that the GLX module has been loaded in your X
[     6.759] (EE) NVIDIA(0):     server, and that the module is the NVIDIA GLX module.  If
[     6.759] (EE) NVIDIA(0):     you continue to encounter problems, Please try
[     6.759] (EE) NVIDIA(0):     reinstalling the NVIDIA driver.
So I the logs I see its trying to load libglx.so

Code: [Select]

[     6.666] (II) LoadModule: "glx"
[     6.667] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so
[     6.668] (II) Module glx: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
[     6.668]     compiled for 1.20.0, module version = 1.0.0
[     6.668]     ABI class: X.Org Server Extension, version 10.0
That said shouldn't  /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so be a symlink to /usr/lib/nvidia/current/libglx.so.390.59 ??
Also mods I think this is probably a hardware issue not software as it looks like my nvidia-drivers aren't installed correctly, maybe it should be moved?

Yep thats exactly what the problem is.

The solution is in the bug report -- one of the methods to solve that problem should work - i use the nvidia.conf :)
