Simple script which leads to GPU hang when piped into lemonbar-xft
I have now further investigated the reason for the GPU crash on my laptop and
could construct the following minimal example. Steps to reproduce the crash on
my laptop:
1) Install <a href="https://github.com/krypt-n/bar">https://github.com/krypt-n/bar</a> which gives you the lemonbar
executable
2) ./crash_me.sh | lemonbar -f "Droid Sans"
The script pipes lines into lemonbar which then should be shown on the bar.
Further observations:
1) the GPU hang occurs after the first update of lemonbar. In the script this
is after 1 second (sleep 1). If this is changed to e.g. sleep 30 the crash
occurs after 30 seconds.
2) The crash occurs for some XFT fonts, but not for all. I suspect that the
crash orginates from XFT font rendering.
3) Changing the echod text to something different results in no further crash.
So oddly, this seems to be a rather fine tuned issue.
4) The crash occurs independently of the chosen X window manager.
If I can help further, I will try to do so.</pre>
