Process qubes-set-monitor-layout hangs consuming some CPU

[v6ak]

I've found a process that constantly consumes several percents of CPU, at least on Debian 8 template. It is qubes-set-monitor-layout and seems to be called by SetMonitorLayout at some stage of VM boot.

The intermediate cause seems to be clear: There is no DISPLAY variable, which makes xrandr to fail, which causes the busy loop to be infinite. There is the environment of the hanging process:

~% ps aux | grep qubes-set-monitor
user       573  2.2  0.7  13200  2816 ?        S    19:07   1:54 /bin/bash /usr/bin/qubes-set-monitor-layout
user     26332  0.0  0.4  12660  1708 pts/0    S+   20:32   0:00 grep qubes-set-monitor
~% xargs -0 printf "%s\n" < /proc/573/environ
MAIL=/var/mail/user
USER=user
SHLVL=0
HOME=/home/user
OLDPWD=/home/user
LOGNAME=user
_=/usr/lib/qubes/qubes-rpc-multiplexer
XDG_SESSION_ID=c1
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
SHELL=/bin/zsh
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
PWD=/home/user
QREXEC_REMOTE_DOMAIN=dom0

There is the loop where the script seems to hang in:

while ! xrandr -q &>/dev/null; do sleep 0.1; done

I have, however, no clue why there is no DISPLAY variable in the environment.

Probably because it's called before "Waiting for qubes-session" - so may happen before DISPLAY being exported to the environment (saved in /tmp/qubes-session-env).
