[Notion-general] statusd doesn't stop with restart

[tot-to <to...@to...>]

Hello,

After executing "session/restart" in main menu, I can see one more
instance of ion-statusd running. Since i use statusd_mpd.lua script, at
some point mpd (Music Player Daemon) starts to complain about
connections limit and to drop any new connections. It means that every
instance operates independently just wasting system resources.

I need to restart notion a in order to switch between laptop's built-in
and dedicated screen with different resolution.

This isn't what you asked, but you may not need to restart at all. You
can use mod_xrandr to detect resolution changes and to automatically
resize the WM without needing to restart it.

Hi Dima,

Thanks for your message. I'm not 100% sure but as far as I know nvidia
proprietary drivers doesn't support xrandr.

Anyway, one need to restart notion in order to apply changes in
configuration files of notion.

I believe that may have been true at one time, but I can confirm that 
the nVidia proprietary drivers support RandR and have so for the past 
few years. Not sure what version you are running. I'm have version 
304.88 and I can adjust displays, etc. no problem.

Also, you may find this article from the Linux Journal helpful:
http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/switching-monitor-profiles

It discusses a method for using auto-detecting whether your laptop is 
docked or not and switching between monitor profiles automatically.

I can confirm the issue you are seeing with statusd_mpd-socket. With the 
mpd monitor enabled, I get an orphaned ion-statusd process whenever I 
restart or exit Notion. I do not see this when I disable the mpd 
monitor. The orphaned process on exit causes hiccups with KDM and 
multiple logins. Looks to me like a bug in ion-statusd.

Regards,
Jeff

[Notion-general] Fwd: statusd doesn't stop with restart

[Arnout E. <no...@bz...>]

Hi,

Jeff prepared a patch to explicitly close statusd on deinit.

This was needed because when restarting notion (notioncore.restart()), we
don't quit the old notion and start a new one, but instead we just execve()
the new notion on top of the old one - which basically explains why the old
statusd didn't quit in that case.

So this should fix the multiple instances of statusd running when
restarting notion.

On a related note, eventually I'd like to see mod_statusbar evolve into a
standalone application that can be loaded into the mod_dock just like any
other panel. But that's something for another day :)


Kind regards,

Arnout
