It seems System Monitor crashes whenever we try to kill or end a process that will not respond to the command. I reproduced it with gpsd on Ubuntu 9.10 alpha 5, updated on 09/09/09.
Try the following : If you kill or end the application through System Monitor, it will crash System Monitor. However, the application will still be running. If you try to kill the application using the command line "kill", the application will continue to run anyway. So it seems related to a case where System Monitor doesn't handle correctly the error sent when an application can't be killed or ended. When this situation happens, System Monitor should not crash and, in the best case, should tell the user it wasn't able to kill or end the application correctly. -- [Jaunty] System monitor crashed when trying to end a process (bluetoothd) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/322445 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
