OK here's what I think happened, and why I think it has happened. Every morning I run an emacs macro
(fset 'traverse-hyperlink-line (format "(shell-command \"%s \C-e & sleep 1;\")\C-x\C-e\C-f\C-p\C-k\C-d" web-browser)) that causes about 25-100 calls to web-browser(in this case arora). So long as Arora stays open, it does *not* release its file descriptors in the ibus process. You can confirm this by running emacs with a text file full of 100 URLs, opening arora(it has to be open already, otherwise it will only open one tab) Esc-100 M-x traverse-hyperlink-line This will open up about 100 files in the proc fdinfo directory for ibus- daemon reachable by cd /proc/`ps -ea | grep ibus-dae | awk -F' ' '{print $1}'`/fdinfo as counted by ls | wc -w This is true even after you've closed the tabs that were opened in this fashion and in fact even after you've closed arora and emacs! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to empathy in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1421483 Title: All keyboard input fails: "IBUS-WARNING **: Events queue growing too big" Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: New Status in easytag package in Ubuntu: New Status in empathy package in Ubuntu: New Status in gnumeric package in Ubuntu: New Status in ibus package in Ubuntu: New Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Mouse input (eg selecting cells, opening "File/Edit/View" menus, right click context menu) all works fine, but all attempts to use the keyboard (entering content to cells, moving between cells, pasting content into cells) silently fails, with an error message printed to console of (soffice:22108): IBUS-WARNING **: Events queue growing too big, will start to drop. about 3 times for every keystroke Ubuntu 15.04 libreoffice-calc: Installed: 1:4.4.0-1ubuntu1 Candidate: 1:4.4.0-1ubuntu1 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 15.04 Package: libreoffice-calc 1:4.4.0-1ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.18.0-13.14-generic 3.18.5 Uname: Linux 3.18.0-13-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.16.1-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: GNOME Date: Thu Feb 12 20:28:05 2015 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-07-09 (218 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-GNOME 14.10 "Utopic Unicorn" - Alpha amd64 (20140708) SourcePackage: libreoffice UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1421483/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
