I'm not having this in Firefox (yet). Around noon today I exited Civilization: CTP. It's past 10PM now, and it's not actually finished "ending". I run it in a window because upon exiting various programs, the program hangs, and it still appears in the nice, new "Sound Preferences" application. Firefox hasn't been the problem even once.
My gut tells me it's trying to 'unhook' somehow and can't. These are all programs that are well-known, several of them are very old (like CivCTP). This suggests to me that a new way of handling sound to get it to work better has a little bug that was unintended. My experience with PA has been pretty good, with one execption; I'm still pretty happy and know why it's so important to do. I saw the release of everything from Alsa to ESD, to-and-from various OSS drivers. I even have a quote, circa 1978 for it: "Every engine, literal or figurative, smokes on startup." That's the case here, too. I'm on an AMD64x2, 1G, running Ubuntu Karmic, ALL from repos- no tarballs to complicate things. -- Firefox hangs when quitting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/203635 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
