Freezing on search

[shavounet]

Hi !

With the latest version (1.7.0) on Linux, whenever I click on the search bar, the app freeze for a few minutes. If I wait a little, then it becomes responsive, until I open the search bar again...

I do not see any increased CPU load. I only found this log in .xession-errors

** (caribou:2406): WARNING **: 15:37:08.566: daemon.vala:120: error in focus handler: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

FYI, I found the verbose option -v but no specific log appeared during freezing

Thanks for opening the issue!

I can't reproduce locally. Please provide some more details about your setup, such as:

• How you get Feeling Finder; Flatpak / Portable / Other?
• Distro / Distro version
• Desktop Environment
• Wayland / X11

Hi !
It was bundled (I think) with my Linux Mint 21.2 installation as a Flatpack package. I can reproduce it when finding the binary directly and executing it raw. Just checked, and the portable version is impacted too. Never played with desktop env, I'm on X11.

I tried to play with strace, but couldn't find relevant data (but I'm not very used to it 😅 )

I tried installing Linux Mint (21.2 Cinnamon) in a VM, and it runs normally. So seems it may be something specific with your setup.

Is there a reason you don't update your OS to the new version? After installing and updating it immediately prompted me to update to 21.3 - possible that whatever the issue is, they have fixed distro-side.

My home folder is encrypted (with ecryptfs), maybe it's related ? Not the first time it causes an issue... Aside from this, my setup is very vanilla. My Linux kernel is 6.8 🤷.

Upgrading is in my TODO, just have been postponed for a long time 😅 I'll tell you if it changes anything, but I slightly doubt so.

If you want me to test anything (e.g. a debug build ?), feel free to ask :)

I kind of doubt so too, but I've seen stranger things! 😆

I upgraded the logging system we use, which should hopefully be able to catch more errors, including base platform errors. Please give this a try:

FeelingFinder-Linux-Portable.tar.gz

Extract it, then run it from terminal. eg:

./feeling_finder -v

Reproduce the issue, and paste the output here.

If the console doesn't produce any meaningful logs when it freezes, perhaps check the logs directory for anything that may have gotten written there: ~/.local/share/codes.merritt.FeelingFinder/logs/
