[Bug 1579712] Re: Refresh hangs indefinitely, appstreamcli using 100% CPU
I'm running Ubuntu Gnome and the user experience is horrible with this bug when using the UI: "Software Updater" has "X" and "Stop" buttons: "Stop" button stays gray (inactive) during the update (what is the point of having gray Stop buttons?). It is even worse if the user (such as me) tried to change the repository, thinking there might be something wrong with that: "Software & Updates" -> "Ubuntu Software" -> "Download from:" [select your mirror] -> "Choose Server" -> "Close". Then there is the notification "The information about available software is out-of-date" -> "Reload". And the result: forever inactive window with no possibility to interfere. I don't know how this is handled by the UI in the regular Ubuntu but this case seems to be a good test case for user interaction. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to appstream in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1579712 Title: Refresh hangs indefinitely, appstreamcli using 100% CPU To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/appstream/+bug/1579712/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 1579712] Re: Refresh hangs indefinitely, appstreamcli using 100% CPU
The simplest workaround seems to be to use Ctrl-C when apt update hangs at the end. It's already done most of the work, and this just aborts the running of appstreamcli at the end. You can then go ahead and update any binary packages built from the appstream source package (ie any of appstream appstream-doc appstream-index gir1.2-appstream libappstream- dev libappstream3 libappstreamqt-dev libappstreamqt1 that are already installed). The use of appstreamcli in the postinst shouldn't hang because the new versions of appstreamcli and libappstream.so.3 will already be in place. However, using Ctrl-C is possible only when using the command line. I'm not sure what happens if someone is using Synaptic or Gnome Software. I assume it would be necessary to use System Monitor to kill off appstreamcli. I'm concerned that we could see breakage in a very large number of Xenial installations, all of which would require manual intervention to get them unstuck. The fact that this is happening now, when it hasn't been reported in the past 3 years, must be due to a subtle change in the execution environment, maybe due to updates in other shared libraries that appstreamcli uses. The problem is a result of reading uninitialized memory, and in the past it must have been pure luck that the memory always contained zeroes. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to appstream in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1579712 Title: Refresh hangs indefinitely, appstreamcli using 100% CPU To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/appstream/+bug/1579712/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 1579712] Re: Refresh hangs due to strdup on non-NULL terminated string
Folks, Updates had been working fine for me until today (5/19/2016). I updated my machines last night(all 11 of them) and now all are experiencing the aforementioned problem with 100% CPU usage from appstreamcli. It appears that in my case at least that something applied last night must be triggering the problem as I have had no problems with apt update until today. I was able to "Ctrl C" out of the update command and install some updates but have to "assume" that I had gotten them all since the update command never completed. I will try and get the above fix applied to at least some of my machines tomorrow. How will users be able to apply the fix if they can't get past the apt update command hanging (other than manual intervention that is)?

[Bug 1579712] Re: Refresh hangs due to strdup on non-NULL terminated string
In comment #30 I took the procedure from comment #24 and added two commands to rename appstream's apt config file, but those commands aren't necessary because they have no effect when appstream is installed via the `dpkg` command. The appstream package's postinst file explicitly calls `appstreamcli refresh-index --force`, so reported in comment #17, the hanging problem is probably still present even when `dpkg` is used to upgrade the appstream packages instead of apt. In that case, upgrading the libappstream3 package *before* the appstream package may avoid the hanging. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to appstream in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1579712 Title: Refresh hangs due to strdup on non-NULL terminated string To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/appstream/+bug/1579712/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 1579712] Re: Refresh hangs due to strdup on non-NULL terminated string
@ximion: I missed that. After upgrading libappstream3 from -proposed, everything works fine. Thanks. The reason I warned against removing the binary is because it's a bad practice in general, even though in this particular problem scenario the removed binary gets restored when its package is upgraded. Package- managed files should only be removed as a last resort when there isn't a better/safer workaround that won't potentially leave any part of the system in a broken or inconsistent state at any point in time. In this case, a safe workaround does exist, which is to disable appstream's apt config in the canonically-prescribed manner: appending ".disabled" to the config's filename. So the complete procedure to fix this safely would be: $ sudo mv /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50appstream /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50appstream.disabled $ cd /tmp && mkdir asfix $ cd asfix $ wget https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/appstream_0.9.4-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb $ wget https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/libappstream3_0.9.4-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb $ sudo dpkg -i *.deb $ sudo mv /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50appstream.disabled /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50appstream -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to appstream in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1579712 Title: Refresh hangs due to strdup on non-NULL terminated string To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/appstream/+bug/1579712/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
