 display-battery-mode stops updating after closing and reopening lid
Date: Sat, 26 Apr 2014 13:19:02 +0200
I use display-battery-mode to display remaining battery percentage in
the modeline. It sometimes happens that the percentage never changes (I
usually notice this when I re-open the lid).

It seems that the timer doesn't get triggered anymore :

timer-list is a variable defined in `C source code'.
Its value is
([t 21337 29946 782082 60 battery-update-handler nil nil 770389]
 [nil 21339 22389 552723 3600 url-cookie-write-file nil nil 255341])

I guess it doesn't run because (timer--triggered (car timer-list)) => t
; and indeed, (setf (timer--triggered (car timer-list)) nil) made it
work again.

IIUC, it is the job of timer-event-handler to put that back to nil. Any
idea why it sometimes doesn't work ?

Very much, indeed (he doesn't mention a laptop, though).

(I'm now running a piece of advice to check whether timer-event-handler
is run when the problem appears, but I did not use my laptop a lot the
last few hours.)

But I mention suspend to ram:
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=15561#32

Perhaps it's related to suspend and wakeup events?

Could you send it please? Perhaps it would make sense to use this advice
here on my emacs too.

Sure ; although it's less useful that what its description promises.

(defun yf/checktimer-after (timer)

Thanks. It happened again:

Before timer. current time: (0 46 15 1 5 2014 4 t 7200) triggered-p: t
[t 21346 20504 204460 20 org-notify-process nil nil 225188]
After timer. current time: (0 46 15 1 5 2014 4 t 7200) triggered-p: nil
[nil 21346 20524 204460 20 org-notify-process nil nil 225188]
Before timer. current time: (20 46 15 1 5 2014 4 t 7200) triggered-p: t
[t 21346 20524 204460 20 org-notify-process nil nil 225188]
After timer. current time: (20 46 15 1 5 2014 4 t 7200) triggered-p: nil
[nil 21346 20544 204460 20 org-notify-process nil nil 225188]
Before timer. current time: (40 46 15 1 5 2014 4 t 7200) triggered-p: t
[t 21346 20544 204460 20 org-notify-process nil nil 225188]

That means, that there is no "after-timer" event.

It happened exactly when I was hitting C-g repeatedly.

What should I do now please?

Hi,

I can reproduce the problem now:

1.) Create file /tmp/test.el :
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
; path of org-notify.el (modify here):
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/emacs/packages/org-mode/contrib/lisp/")
(require 'org-notify)
(setq org-agenda-files '("/tmp/todo.org"))
(with-current-buffer (find-file (car org-agenda-files))
  (dotimes (var 1000)
    (insert "* TODO a todo item\n  DEADLINE: <2014-12-12 Thu 12:12>\n")))
(org-notify-start 2)
(run-with-timer 3 3 (lambda () (when (timer--triggered org-notify-timer)
    (warn "org-notify-timer has trigger flag to t."))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

2.) Be sure, that keys are repeated: "xset r rate 250 50"

3.) Run emacs: "emacs -Q -l /tmp/test.el"

4.) Press Ctrl-g, and keep the 2 keys pressed for some seconds.

5.) A warning appears: "Warning (emacs): org-notify-timer has trigger flag to t."

Can you reproduce it?

Thanks for the test case. I'll admit I am a little puzzled by all of
this.

Consider this alternative test case:

(setq watchtimer (run-at-time nil 5 (lambda () (message "Sitting...") (sleep-for 2) (message "Sat"))))

(defun warnme ()
  (when (timer--triggered watchtimer)
    (message "timer has trigger flag to t.")
    (remove-hook 'post-command-hook 'warnme)))
(add-hook 'post-command-hook 'warnme)

Then you can see that loading this file and hitting C-g C-g C-g will
say: "timer has trigger flag to t."

I have these questions :

1. Is this the problem that I have been seeing with
display-battery-mode? I don't recall hammering C-g when I noticed my
problem.

1bis. Is this the problem that you have been seeing too ?

2. Why does it take three C-g to get out of the sleep-for that is called
from within the timer ? (e.g. I can do M-: (sleep-for 2) RET C-g and I
get immediate control)

3. Why aren't these C-g caught by the condition-case in
timer-event-handler ? Or alternatively:

3bis. Why are these three "C-g" special ? It is not mentionned in (info "(emacs)
Quitting") AFAICT.

Maybe because of the "emergency escape" feature, although that
requires 2 C-g's in a row, not 3, and AFAIK only works on a TTY.

Not sure, but timers are run with inhibit-quit, so the fact that C-g is
(partly) ignored is very normal.

Hi,

Perhaps related to this bug:

Sometimes, a periodic timer is no more in the timer list.

For example this one:

[nil 21405 35231 77383 9000 gnus-demon-run-callback (pm/rescan-news 900 9000) nil 39000]


I have to restart it with this command:

(gnus-demon-add-handler 'pm/rescan-news 150 15)


TIA for any solutions or workarounds,

No, it does seem to be 3 (quoting src/keyboard.c):

        { /* Else request quit when it's safe.  */
	  int count = NILP (Vquit_flag) ? 1 : force_quit_count + 1;
	  force_quit_count = count;
	  if (count == 3)
            {
              immediate_quit = 1;
              Vinhibit_quit = Qnil;
            }
          Vquit_flag = Qt;
        }

Hi,

Do you think, that this will be fixed soon? If not, I'll install a
workaround with crond and emacsclient.

Since I added some advices to warn me in case of a problem, I didn't see
the problem happen anymore... I'm not sure there's causation between
these facts.

Works quite nicely since some months:

And once per hour, crond executes  "emacsclient -e '(pm/check-timers)'"

When a timer is dead, I just need to restart it with a mouse-click.

 display-battery-mode stops updating after closing and reopening lid
Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2015 16:33:03 +0100
I use tramp and recentf. Also, I often reopen the lid of my laptop while
having no internet access (namely, in the train). And that's usually
when the battery problem appears for me.

Could all of that be related ?

1. recentf-auto-cleanup-timer (an idle timer) is ran and wants to check
   if the files still exists. For tramp buffers, this tends to hang emacs
   because lack of internet.
2. meanwhile, battery-update-timer (a normal timer) is ran too
3. ??? (something happens, e.g. perhaps user hits C-g because emacs
   seems hung)
4. battery-update-timer is left in the "triggered" state.

Is it possible that two timers interfere ? How would I check this ? It's
a rare problem for me, so I would need something that is not too
invasive.

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)

I think I recall these timer issues being fixed recentlyish (or at least
some other problem with timers not being triggered after a sleep).  Are
you still seeing this issue with recent Emacs versions?

Thank you.

No, but my laptop usage is mostly inexistent now and my current laptop 
tends to crash randomly when waking up anyway (unrelated to emacs) so I 
can't really test.

OK; I'm closing this bug report, then.  If somebody else can reproduce
this problem, please respond to the debbugs address and we'll reopen it
(or open a new bug report).
