GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 781515
100% cpu spin on shutdown
Last modified: 2017-07-20 12:25:26 UTC
I tested out a VM last night, and then discarded it. I never installed it, so I assume it was in "live" mode. I came back to the machine this morning and 1 CPU was spinning at 100%, presumably all night. Thread 1 "gnome-boxes" received signal SIGINT, Interrupt. 0x00007fd4c764d98c in g_type_check_instance_is_fundamentally_a () from /lib64/libgobject-2.0.so.0 (gdb) bt
+ Trace 237380
By "discarded" it, I mean i just shut the boxes window.
Same here, gnome-boxes was running eating a whole core for a whole day here. I created a VM, installed it. Once I was done with it, I deleted it and didn't wait for the in-app notification to disappear before closing the app. This VM was the only one, so there should have been no VMs left running. Backtraces:
+ Trace 237677
My guess is that this piece of code is the culprit: 78 public void dismiss_all () {• 79 // We destroy all active notifications, which will cause them to be dismissed• 80 while (active_notifications != null) {• 81 active_notifications.data.destroy ();• 82 }• 83 }•
There are 2 backtraces above, but BZ made it into one. Christian, did you close the window before the notification went away as well?
(In reply to Bastien Nocera from comment #3) > Christian, did you close the window before the notification went away as > well? I don't remember for sure, but that sounds likely.
