Latest master make machine runs heavy. about labwc

[johanmalm]

Thanks for feedback.
I know it’s a big ask, but it there any chance you could establish what commit (in labwc or wlroots) had this effect?

If you run ‘top’ from a terminal you can monitor CPU usage.

Are you running swaybg or similar? Does that have an effect on CPU usage?

I'm running swaybg and turns out when I disable swaybg from autostart, The CPU's usage becomes lower and my fan becomes normal. Thanks, it works.

Perhaps I need to close this issue.

I've also noted that swaybg consumes much cpu.

We’ll need to establish why. Could be swaybg, wlroots or labwc.

swaybg never used to be CPU heavy on labwc, so something has changed.

Grateful for any detective work you can. Otherwise I’ll investigate tonight.

Is that labwc running from openbox on puppy, or labwc from tty?

Updating swaybg to the latest github version solved this for me. I believe that swaywm/swaybg@5e2df3a is the reason why.

@ARDiDo - like passing ships. That's interesting!
I've pushed a fix that sorts it for the old version too.
It works on mine, so will close this issue for now. Shout if it persists for anyone.

tty, pure wayland. I've been experimenting in Puppy. See puppylinux-woof-CE/woof-CE#2563

I intend updating everything to latest version this weekend.

Great stuff.
You've got some good wall-paper scripts there. Will give them a go.
