Whew, I just ran into this bug - suddenly I got a message that my file system was almost full, my CPU was pegged by pulseaudio and rsyslogd, and a few minutes later my file system was full with many gigs of /var/log/syslog and /var/log/user.log. About 31 million lines in each file for pulseaudio:
(after i gzipped them and rotated) overri...@citadel-station:/var/log$ zcat syslog.1.gz | grep pulseaudio | wc -l 31001234 overri...@citadel-station:/var/log$ zcat user.log.1.gz | grep pulseaudio | wc -l 31000642 The lines appear to all (or at least mostly) be: Nov 29 17:19:30 citadel-station pulseaudio[2365]: socket-server.c: accept(): Too many open files Nov 29 17:19:30 citadel-station pulseaudio[2365]: socket-server.c: accept(): Too many open files Nov 29 17:19:30 citadel-station pulseaudio[2365]: socket-server.c: accept(): Too many open files Cause?: I've been using karmic on this system without a problem with pulseaudio since the first beta. Last night I changed my speaker configuration in my volume control from "Analog Stereo Duplex" to "Analog Surround 5.1 Output". I have to think that's related based on the timing. I shut this computer off every night, so this isn't something that just built up over time. I'd be happy to provide any additional information that anyone would like regarding this. -Dan -- PulseAudio opens too many files, locks up, and fills up root fs (/var/log) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/451893 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
