Hello Dave and the rest of the talented programming team.
My system is Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon. I use the Wiki to build the Fldigi suite. When I use Fldigi for a while, like on a net, it will freeze. When I look at Top Fldigi is up over 120 percent. Tonight during a net it went up above 200 percent.
I'm using Fldigi version 4.2.05. It also does it on version 4.2.05.04. This has happened to me before and there was a fix for this. A noob like me didn't understand what was done so I can't remember what the fix was.
If no one else is seeing this on Linux then it could be my system but I wanted to make sure there's not a problem lurking somewhere. I hate to bring up the dark side but I didn't see the high CPU usage on my other PC which is Windows.

Ron,
Is this on all modes or only one mode?
Fldigi will hang for 10 seconds or so if it loses it networking connection with fllog. It may also if it loses Internet connections. Need to check that one out.

Hi Cliff,
I can't pin point any particular mode. This net did send a few
Flamp's using 8psk1000f and I was receiving. I wasn't running Fllog
and the only connection would have been local host to Flamp.
The other thing I've noticed with 8psk1000f is the receive window
stops scrolling and I have to clear it quite a lot so I guess that
means the receive buffer fills up quickly. I'm pretty sure I didn't
have a problem with Fldigi version 4.2.04.

Hi All,
?
I'm still fighting the problem with Fldigi freezing on me with Linux Mint 22.1 and Fldigi 4.2.04.24.
Today on the 80 meter NBEMS nets at about 2 hours worth of net activity on a few different nets I looked up and Fldigi was frozen.
I have to kill Fldigi. When I look at HTOP this is what I see.
?
?
It just looks like Fldigi is taking up so much resource and eventually freezes up. Everything else on the computer is working.
?
I don't see any other problems like this being reported so it may be something on my local machine.
Maybe after a certain about of activity I need to reboot the computer.

Pulseaudio or Pipewire ?? ?What is the "nice" factor for each of the instances?? Only one instance should be transceiver control (or use flrig, it can support multiple clients).? If two of the instances are being used for monitor only, try increasing the niceness of those two instances.

Adrian, that's the interesting thing is I'm not sure why multiple
Fldigi instances are running. Next time I'll have to do the sudo
pkill fldigi and see what happens.
David, I have Pipewire selected under Port Audio. I'm running rigcat
to control the Icom IC-7300 and only one instance. I don't know what
the "nice" factor is.

You should be able to select "Pulse audio" check box on the configuration tab for audio devices.? Pipewire will be used.? The "nice" factor determines how much CPU a specific executing program uses:

Thanks David, I will select Pulse Audio.
That's interesting about the "nice" factor and how to change it.
According to HTOP it looks like NI was at 0. Do you recommend
another setting?
Also, the thing about multiple fldigi showing up in HTOP. Is that
just showing various functions that's running within Fldigi. At
first it looks like it's starting Fldigi multiple times but I can't
think of a way that's happening.

Thanks Adrian,
Maybe I'm getting TOP and HTOP mixed up. Your right I only see 1
instance of Fldigi with top but HTOP shows multiple instances.
I thought HTOP was the newer better version but maybe I'm not
reading the results correctly and I should only use TOP to check the
program's resources.

Yep, so the multiple entries of Fldigi must be different functions
of Fldigi that's running and not just multi instances.
So when I first start my Fldigi the CPU is around 21.1% and yours is
8.2. I haven't tracked mine for any length of time but when it locks
up it's 100% and I have seen it go way over 100%.
So now I have to figure out why it does that. I hate to mention it
but it runs fine on Windows 11 but I do want to use Linux :-(

Same problem here with fldigi on rpi raspian.? fldigi is freezing, not the rpi operating system.? Initially was running on an rpi 3b so tried an rpi4 and had the same problem.? Tried all the local suggestions including ferrites on all leads, aluminum case, but I've had it freeze even when i haven't been transmitting.? I don't recall seeing this problem when I was running fldigi on a pc with ubuntu.? Just installed ubuntu on the rpi4 and haven't had a freeze yet, but with an intermittent problem like this it could be a while before I know if the operating system makes a difference.

I have trouble with the RPI4 and FLDIGI under the default Wayland.
CPU usage is extremely high and FLDIGI is very sluggish.
I switched to the Openbox window manager and it works properly.

Had the same on Raspi 5. ? ?It uses Wayland as graphic driver which does not work with fldigi properly (Eats up all CPU power). ?I switched back to the old x11 driver. Perhaps its the same on your system. After that change of config the problem vanished.
