Could you please try no-frame-pacing = true; in the config?

[yshui]

could be the same problem as #1345

[cartesius68]

Could you please try no-frame-pacing = true; in the config?

Tried. A bit better. But still freezes. A couple of times a day, say. Complete freeze. Each time I need to switch outside Xorg, kill picom and everything works again. Freezes randomly, no extensive work needed.

[yshui]

can you try updating to latest picom?

[AndyM48]

Still happens in 12.3-1 I' afraid

Linux acer 6.11.3-artix1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri, 11 Oct 2024 03:02:25 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux Openbox 3.6.1-11-1

[yshui]

any logs from picom when it freezes?

[AndyM48]

Log attached: picom.log

There should be many errors but, as an example, I opened an xfce4-terminal at 16:36:30 which took several seconds to complete.

[yshui]

@AndyM48 wait, when you said freeze, didn't you mean your system completely freeze? "took several seconds to complete" is bad, but not a freeze.

[AndyM48]

I'm so sorry to have confused - I should have explained my case instead of tagging on to this issue.

My systems does indeed stop responding for several seconds, apparently, when starting a new programme.

[yshui]

hmm, can you increase the log level? try --log-level=trace

[AndyM48]

No problems. Same result. (Opened xfce4-terminal at 17:34:00)

Log is very large so I uploaded it here here

[AndyM48]

If it is any help, v11.2 works fine for me.

[yshui]

@AndyM48 ok, your problem is different then. the problem in this issue happens on v11.2, if you look at the OP.

[cartesius68]

Updated to v12.5. Still random freezes.
