It looks like abia and obaqueiro are seeing bug 187540. The OP and others may be seeing something different. If they're seeing the same problem, then this should be marked as a dup of 187540.

[Bug 52405] Re: gnome-panel eats 50% cpu for half an hour and flickers
Hello, Just to confirm the bug in a newly updated Hardy Heron Ubuntu (Linux 2.6.22-14). I have a panel attached to the left side of the screen and after opening more than 7 applications (exact number, reproducible every time) the bar hangs and takes more than 40% of cpu (looked via system monitor) To reproduce in your computer: 1. Right click on a panel and click "new panel" 2. Right click on the new panel and click "Properties" 3. Select option Orientation:left. and size:40 click. close 4. Right click on new left panel and click "Add to panel" 5. Look for "Window List" , select "add" and click close. 6. Open 6 programs (so that 6 icons show in the new window list) 7.

[Bug 52405] Re: gnome-panel eats 50% cpu for half an hour and flickers
I see this issue on my system as well. The way I deal with it when I'm running on battery is to attach to it using gdb. From there, I can just break and have it not resume. This, of course, means that I lose my panel functionality, though. I will remove /etc/xdg/menus/debian-menu.menu, but I'd like to voice my agreement that removing the file is NOT an appropriate solution to this bug. gnome-panel should be robust enough to deal with any such input without causing the kind of nastiness manifested in this bug. Even if menu-xdg is not installed by default, I should be able to install it (for no particular reason, perhaps just because I want to break gnome- panel!) without having this problem crop up again. -- gnome-panel eats 50% cpu for half an hour and flickers https://launchpad.net/bugs/52405 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Yes Matt, unless it has dependencies. To me it's not really an option. Removing menu-xdg would mean to remove: kcontrol kdelibs4c2a kicker koctave kwave libkonq4 menu-xdg tora But the problem still exists, and this is what's so troublesome with things like gnome. The problem is that the menu flickers, and the app goes crazy just because a symlink is pointing to outer space. To me, THIS is the bug, and the 'solutions' above are hacks which 'might' work, but it doesn't solve the bug. It is caused by bad programming, not because of vague packaging. A program 'crashing' because a symlink (which is not required by the program) doesn't exist or doesn't point to a valid file is a badly written program. In gnome, bugs reappear year after year, and the real problem doesn't get solved (like in gconf/gsd, which is a big jar of bugs).

[Bug 52405] Re: gnome-panel eats 50% cpu for half an hour and flickers
Vincent: use this to pipe the output to a file "gnome-session-remove gnome-panel; MENU_VERBOSE=1 GNOME_PANEL_DEBUG=1 BONOBO_ACTIVATION_DEBUG_OUTPUT=1 gnome-panel 2> ~/Desktop/panel-debug.txt" then use Ctrl+c to stop the process after about a minute.. unfortunantly for me, this created a 52 meg file. I'm going through it now trying to see what might be relevent. -- gnome-panel eats 50% cpu for half an hour and flickers https://launchpad.net/bugs/52405 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 52405] Re: gnome-panel eats 50% cpu for half an hour and flickers
I cannot note what events make the panel loop because I can't redirect the output of the terminal to a file. Concerning the backtrace, I obtain this : (gdb) thread apply all bt Thread 1 (Thread -1225189712 (LWP 14482)): #0 0xe410 in __kernel_vsyscall () #1 0xb758166b in poll () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 #2 0xb76f4e85 in g_main_context_check () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 #3 0xb76f51fc in g_main_loop_run () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 #4 0xb7a23c62 in gtk_main () from /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 #5 0x080635ef in main (argc=1, argv=0xbfcd7564) at main.c:92 #0 0xe410 in __kernel_vsyscall () (gdb) I don't know if it's useful.

Could anybody having the issue try to "gnome-session-remove gnome-panel; MENU_VERBOSE=1 GNOME_PANEL_DEBUG=1 BONOBO_ACTIVATION_DEBUG_OUTPUT=1 gnome-panel" and try to note what events make it loop? Having a backtrace with gnome-panel-dbg installed could be useful too, you can attach the panel with "gdb -p $(pidof gnome-panel)" then "thread apply all bt" to get the backtrace -- gnome-panel eats 50% cpu for half an hour and flickers https://launchpad.net/bugs/52405 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I get about the same calls number than Gutaf. Can not confirm when gnome-panel cool down, as it makes my laptop shut down because of CPU heat before I even reach that point. As a workaround, I send a signal 11 to gnome-panel, in order to interrupt it and not auto respawn it. -- gnome-panel eats 50% cpu for half an hour and flickers https://launchpad.net/bugs/52405 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 52405] Re: gnome-panel eats 50% cpu for half an hour and flickers
It seems the process is mostly opening and parsing the applications folder in my home directory as well as the /etc/ one, and it is running gettimeofday often too. Having straced the process for about a minute I found a few thousand gettimeofday(), thousands of time(NULL), thousands of stat64 on application folders' files such as: 622 stat64("/usr/share/gnome/apps/Games", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 622 stat64("/usr/share/gnome/apps/Graphics", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 622 stat64("/usr/share/gnome/apps/Internet", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 and thousands of weird stat64's, such as: 3731 stat64("/home", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 3732 stat64("/usr/share/gnome/apps", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 3732 stat64("/usr/share/gnome", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 6842 stat64("/usr/share", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=8192, ...}) = 0 8086 stat64("/usr", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 where the number before stat64 is the number of calls during this minute. It is _heavy_ file system querying, which offcourse is madness. -- gnome-panel eats 50% cpu for half an hour and flickers https://launchpad.net/bugs/52405 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
