Public bug reported:
Every other week I can no longer start thunderbird, because another instance is
already running (although no application window is listed in gnome-shell). The
following error is shown:
"Thunderbird is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window,
you must first close the existing Thunderbird process, or restart your system."
Forever whatever reason gnome-shell keeps a reference to the thunderbird
child process:
sandra@sandraOrange:~$ ps -A | grep thunderbird
1550 ? 00:00:07 thunderbird <defunct>
sandra@sandraOrange:~$ cat /proc/1550/status | grep -i ppid
PPid: 1418
sandra@sandraOrange:~$ ps -A | grep 1418
1418 ? 00:01:50 gnome-shell
I cannot kill this zombie process,, so I'm no longer able to read my
emails.
