[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. Open the 7th and the panel will freeze (and munch cpu cycles like crazy ) -- gnome-panel eats 50% cpu for half an hour and flickers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/52405 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

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.

[Bug 52405] Re: gnome-panel eats 50% cpu for half an hour and flickers
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.

sudo apt-get install menu menu-xdg update-menus seems to have fixed it for me. with the interesting side effect of giving me a debian menu with launchers for several programs the run in terminals as well as several that I didn't realize were installed. -- gnome-panel eats 50% cpu for half an hour and flickers https://launchpad.net/bugs/52405 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-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 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
