[Bug]: Stretchly makes Linux desktops freeze after few hours of use

[TonRZN]

Hey! Just adding a note here, on KDE it happens the same. Sometimes I get various prompts with broken characters and then the entire desktop freezes.

[TonRZN]

@hovancik no problems! Thanks for the clarification. I've been running the PR for a few hours now and will post an update here once I get enough testing

[hovancik]

Thanks for the report. Seem like DND monitoring I added in this version. Can you try disabling that in preferences?

[cheanus]

I have the same problem on my computer (Archlinux KDE), and version 1.14.1 is normal.

[hovancik]

@cheanus @TonRZN can you please check if turning of do not disturb monitoring (on first Preferences page) helpd? Or possibly if you can run from source try this PR? #1394

[TonRZN]

@hovancik Is the option "Monitor system idle time" it? If it is, I didn't help.

Took the photo with my phone as KDE was completely frozen.

Edit.: Running from source to see if it helped

[hovancik]

@TonRZN many thanks for trying. In preferences, I mean Show breaks even in Do not disturb

[TonRZN]

@hovancik No problems at all, I'm glad to help! About the DnD, sorry but I don't see it. Should it be on the same page that I mentioned the other option?

[tobias-haenel]

@hovancik I had the same problem under ArchLinux with version 1.15 and the problem didn't occur for one whole day when I turned off dnd in the config file (path shown in about page after you press ctrl+d)

[hovancik]

@TonRZN sorry, I forgot that this option is hidden in Linux version. Will have to update that in new version. You can only change it via editing configuration file as @tobias-haenel said: https://github.com/hovancik/stretchly/tree/trunk#advanced-preferences

if anyone is able to confirm that PR fixed the issue, that would be great. On my Linux machine, I have troubles with reproducing, but I am not using it often and for long time so that might be it.

[TonRZN]

@hovancik I think that the issue is fixed, I've been testing the PR for more than a day and everything seems fine! Thanks for your work!!

[hovancik]

Great, thanks so much for testing. I will try to make a fix release in coming days.
