GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 122263
Eats lot of CPU together with the acme daemon
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Hi, Together, the notification area applet and the acme daemon are eating 50% of the cpu on a K6-2 500MHz. Removing the applet suppresses the problem, even if acme is running. If I suppress the applet and kill acme then reinstall 1st the applet then launch acme, all went fine. If I restart gnome, then I can see the same high cpu load as before. --- Regards Jean-Luc
Hi, I've done some strace on the running pid. 1 - I start galeon/metacity from gdm with the notification area applet and acme running (attached to the applet). 2 - I kill acme and remove the applet from the gnome-panel. I left the trace running a couple of seconds and I got the follwing files: -rw-r--r-- 1 jean-luc jean-luc 884738 2003-09-16 17:44 trace.not.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 jean-luc jean-luc 627 2003-09-16 18:25 trace.not.2 If then I close the session and I restart galeon, I'm back in the case one. The traces now: Most of the trace.not.1 file contains : Process 9973 attached - interrupt to quit ... read(3, "\1\1\201i\0\0\0\0A\0\0\3\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\36\0\0\0xe\221"..., 32) = 32 write(3, "\31\0\v\0\34\0 \2\0\0\0\0! \7\10\34\0 \2\200\1\0\0\0\0"..., 48) = 48 read(3, "\1\1\203i\0\0\0\0A\0\0\3\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\36\0\0\0xe\221"..., 32) = 32 write(3, "\31\0\v\0\34\0 \2\0\0\0\0! \7\10\34\0 \2\200\1\0\0\0\0"..., 48) = 48 read(3, "\241 \203i\37\0\300\2\200\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\6\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 32) = 32 read(3, "\1\1\205i\0\0\0\0A\0\0\3\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\36\0\0\0xe\221"..., 32) = 32 write(3, "\31\0\v\0\236\0 \1\0\0\0\0! \7\10\236\0 \1\200\1\0\0\0"..., 48) = 48 .... add many ... write(3, "\31\0\v\0\236\0 \1\0\0\0\0! \7\10\236\0 \1\200\1\0\0\0"..., 48) = 48 read(3, "\1\1\215i\0\0\0\0A\0\0\3\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\36\0\0\0xe\221"..., 32) = 32 write(3, "\31\0\v\0\34\0 \2\0\0\0\0! \7\10\34\0 \2\200\1\0\0\0\0"..., 48) = 48 read(3, "\1\1\217i\0\0\0\0A\0\0\3\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\36\0\0\0xe\221"..., 32) = 32 With some : ioctl(3, FIONREAD, [0]) = 0 ioctl(3, FIONREAD, [0]) = 0 poll([{fd=10, events=POLLIN}, {fd=3, events=POLLIN, revents=POLLIN}, {fd=15, eve nts=POLLIN}, {fd=17, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=18, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd =19, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=21, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=20, events=POLL IN|POLLPRI}, {fd=22, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=23, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}], 10 , -1) = 1 ioctl(3, FIONREAD, [32]) = 0 and some : read(3, 0xbfffd5f0, 32) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) The whole trace.not.2 contains: Process 2482 attached - interrupt to quit octl(3, FIONREAD, [0]) = 0 poll([{fd=10, events=POLLIN}, {fd=3, events=POLLIN, revents=POLLIN}, {fd=15, eve nts=POLLIN}, {fd=17, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=18, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd =19, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=21, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=20, events=POLL IN|POLLPRI}, {fd=22, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=23, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}], 10 , -1) = 1 ioctl(3, FIONREAD, [32]) = 0 read(3, "n\2_\1\234\21\16\0\4\24\4\0\20\0\0\0\0\0\0\24\24\24\24"..., 32) = 32 ioctl(3, FIONREAD, [0]) = 0 poll( <unfinished ...> Process 2482 detached --- Best Regards
I'm experiencing the same problems with gnome-panel 2.4.0 only it's eating 100% cpu on my athlon-xp 2100. I have also found that it's not purely due to acme since I experience the same thing with gaim's notification area plugin. It only seems to occur when the notification applet is started after either gaim or acme and I have also noticed that the cpu usage drops to normal if I left click on the notification area. Herbie.
Bug fixed in debian, see latest post to http://bugs.debian.org/210813
Hi, I've reported the bug (I think) Nothing has be done here or in Debian. I would like you reopen the bug please as it is already existing on my system (up-ro-date regarding Debian sid packages). --- Regards Jean-Luc
