x11: Close session when opening a file or browsing the web
Hello, I could not solve the problem of the other topic that I opened in this forum, but I decided to install the trisquel 11 even though in my t400 with libreboot the trisquel 10 had no encryption activated by default.
I noticed that when I open a file in the libreoffice impress or when I will send an email at icedove the session closes itself and goes back to the login screen. It is not only a problem in this file, it has already happened to be using abrowser and close as well.
Here is what I have done and did not solve:
I tried to change the default kernel
I installed openbox and changed the marco in the dconf editor
I started the session with the openbox and still had this problem
I disabled the pulseaudio because in the log there appeared an error
I installed the libgl1-amber-dri package suggested in a forum of the xdg-desktop-portal-gtk error.service
I installed xserver-xorg-hwe-18.04
I couldn't find this module to activate (module-x11-xsmp): https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/-/merge_requests/650
logs:
Syslog:

I solved the question. It is a problem in mate desktop or xorg with intel graphics cards.
The solution is to create a file called 20-intel.conf and upload it to the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d folder with the following lines:
Section "Device
Identifier "Intel Graphics"
Driver "Intel
Option "TearFree" "true
EndSection
I have a similar problem sometimes but I have a GeForce GT 710 working with nouveau.
Are there similar tricks for other kinds of graphics, like mine?
I cannot say whether the cause was the same but with nabia, I had regularly the screen frozen, sometimes I could ssh to the computer, sometimes I could not, when I could it was possible to kill the mate session but usually the computer was not working well anymore until reboot. So aramo is working much better.
What kernel version are you using on aramo?
The default from Trisquel repository.
"uname -a" says Linux 5.15.0-71-generic #78+11.0trisquel19 SMP Thu Apr 27 07:15:09 UTC 2023 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
You might like to test if the 5.19 hwe update might help.
Thanks, I installed it and will see.
If the problem still occurs, is there a chance that the problem will not occur if using wayland instead of X11? This could be one motivation for me to switch to gnome 3.
There seems to be a issue with the default configuration on xorg shipped by trisquel with some intel models, not all seem to have the same issue. It may take a bit of time, but hopefully there will be some fix sooner than later.
Regards.
I've also run into the exact Icedove and abrowser issues with two different librebooted T400s.
I'll give your solution a try.
Thanks.
Everything now seems to be working well on both T400s.
Thanks again!
Hi,
Thank you augustoborin, it works with my ThinkPad X200 (that uses MATE), I just had to redo my screens configuration.
Hello
I just tried your solution by now. I hope it helps me to stop these sessions closing.
Thank you
