Ruben ~ Kedara.eu<p>I've been using <a href="https://kedara.social/tags/debian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Debian</span></a> for a couple of weeks now, combined with <a href="https://kedara.social/tags/xfce" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Xfce</span></a>. It's really quite snappy.<br><br>Before, I used Fedora with KDE, but the system used to break without warning after updates or installing new packages. So I spent the last few weeks reinstalling everything and restoring my backups 😅<br><br>That was probably my fault, but for me, Debian is really living up to its solid reputation. It allows me to focus on stuff that's more interesting to me. So I'm very happy with the switch so far!<br><br><a href="https://kedara.social/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>linux</span></a></p>

Eugenia L<p>One more screenshot of the classic MacOS 8/9 theme under XFce. Honestly, from all the themes I've done, this one I enjoy the most. It's rather convincing because it doesn't use docks or launchers that all modern OSes use, so it feels different.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>linux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>opensource</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/xfce" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>xfce</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/foss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>foss</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mac</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/macbook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>macbook</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/macos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>macos</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/macintosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>macintosh</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/theme" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>theme</span></a></p>

Yes, that sounds likely. <br>It's just weird it only happens once on the first iteration. Thereafter, no matter how many times I let the system idle over the many days/weeks of system uptime, it works fine so long as I restart pulseaudio user daemon just the one time.</p><p>There are no logs anywhere that show the issue, just the CPU activity observation against the xfce wrapper for the panel.</p><p>Perhaps it only affects some systems like <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/debian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>debian</span></a> because it doesn't yet use <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/pipewire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pipewire</span></a> for audio within the <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/xfce" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>xfce</span></a> desktop.</p><p>I know the fix, so can work around this for now.

The system is not locking, just putting display to sleep.</p><p>At which point the <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/xfce" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>xfce</span></a> panel-wrapper consumes 100% of 1 core and stays that way forever unless I do something.</p><p>I have found running `systemctl --user restart pulseaudio.service` fixes the problem.</p><p>It only happens once, all times after that when the display goes off do not create any impact.</p><p>Any ideas anyone?</p>
