[Bug 606710] Re: Process with no name
I think this is clearly a gnome-system-monitor problem: gnome-system- monitor shows short sleeps wrong, no matter whether it's playonlinux or something else that calls sleep. /bin/ps doesn't have this problem. On both gnome-system-monitor 3.4.1-0ubuntu1 (Ubuntu 12.04) and gnome- system-monitor3.8.2.1-2ubuntu1 (Ubuntu 14.04), I can reproduce the problem like this: - Open gnome-system-monitor - Sort by ID (helps keep the no-name processes in a stable location in the list) - Run in a terminal: $ while true; do sleep 0.1; done - Look at gnome-system-monitor and click Refresh repeatedly Look for the root process with no name. Its pid should increase by 10 per second. If I increase the delay to 0.2, and repeatedly click Refresh, it will sometimes be the root no-name process and sometimes sleep owned by me. With delay 1 its name is always sleep, but the owner is sometimes root and sometimes myself. Maybe some different values will trigger the effects for you. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/606710 Title: Process with no name To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system-monitor/+bug/606710/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 606710] Re: Process with no name
This happens to me as well; just noticed about 15 minutes ago - no idea how long it has been there or whether it's an 'always on' or sometime thing. process [no name] user root ID anywhere from 3??? to 3memory N/A priority normal when highlighted, highlight drops down to next process after a few seconds. I do not have Play-on-Linux installed, never have. Two runs of command atx at #10 gave show only 233c233 and 242c242 for diff, with user 'jonesy' and ppid '8475'. The phantom's ID increments by ~30 to 40 every few seconds. Shows up when view is both 'My Processes' and 'All Processes', not in 'Active'. No dependencies shown. When phantom ID reaches high 30K, drops back down to low 3000's and starts over. Don't know about youse, but I'm gonna call this 'weird'. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/606710 Title: Process with no name To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/playonlinux/+bug/606710/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 606710] Re: Process with no name
Okay I figured it out! At least on my system. Using: ps -eopid,cmd,user,ppid | sed /\\[/d I've managed to get some usefull output. The gnome system monitor didn't managed to gather the process information. These disapearing root process were not root processes at all. It was sleep 0.1 called by bash /usr/share/playonlinux, so i guess it related to playonlinux and not to Ubuntu. Maybe its a bug. Also its, quiet anyoing that the gnome system monitor produced this faulty output... cheers! ** Changed in: ubuntu Status: Incomplete = Fix Committed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/606710 Title: Process with no name -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 606710] Re: Process with no name
According to gnome-system-monitor (by checking the dependencies option) this nameless process has no parent, just like init. I'm not even sure whether this is possible, but something must be wrong if system-monitor can't figure out it's parent. I would look in proc for details, but the process dies too quickly. I've noticed this problem after making some configuration changes in syslog-ng (to execute sshguard when a break-in attempt is logged). -- Process with no name https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/606710 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
