Fedora google chrome become unresponsible.

Last few years, I used fedora and the initial version was 22. Now it is 33 !

 

However after I upgrade this time, I have very odd issues.

 

For 2~3 hours after rebooting of the laptop, it is working like normal but google chrome is getting slow and it is not possible to copy/paste from google chrome to firefox. Or terminal to Visual studio code.

 

It turned out this bug is related with the issue. However, the solution would be much easier than what I thought.

 

Try this 2 commands

$ echo "HAHA" | xsel -i -b (ins)

$ wl-paste

HAHA

 

If it is working then it might be other issues.

In my case, Installing wl-paste package solve this issue.

 

 

Moreover, you should check buffer size

❯ free -h
                   total        used        free       shared      buff/cache   available
Mem:           31Gi        13Gi       1.7Gi       5.5Gi          16Gi                12Gi
Swap:          19Gi          0B        19Gi

 

If you hit this issue too, add this cronjob to your crontab

0 10 * * * sync; echo 3 |sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

 

The last thing you can try is disabling wayland

 

/etc/gdm/custom.conf

# GDM configuration storage

[daemon]
# Uncomment the line below to force the login screen to use Xorg
WaylandEnable=false
DefaultSession=gnome-xorg.desktop

Then reboot!

 

Done
