I've noticed this happen twice now, on Ubuntu 8.04, where Totem gets into an unkillable state after I try to exit it at the end of a movie. The first time I left the system running for days, but totem never exited, just runs and runs burning CPU. Running "kill -9" as root on the process does nothing. I had not seen this before installing the 64-bit version of 8.04, though I can't confirm that this is related.
$ uname -a Linux server 2.6.24-18-generic #1 SMP Wed May 28 19:28:38 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux I attempted to 'strace' the process, but that didn't provide any useful output. $ ps -ef | grep totem username 17864 1 60 10:02 ? 02:18:51 totem file:///home/username/movie.avi $ strace -vp 17864 Process 17864 attached - interrupt to quit I waited 5 minutes, but nothing. Seems odd, as the process is clearly eating up 100% of the CPU on one of my cores. I wasn't able to ctrl-c out of strace, I had to ctrl-z then "kill -9". "kill -15" did not kill the strace. This errant totem process does not happen every time I watch a movie with totem, but it has happened twice in the past week, with different movies. To duplicate, I'd try running and stopping totem a few dozen times. The only way to end this process that I've found so far is a reboot. >From reading above, it sounds like this is unrelated to totem, but to be complete: $ totem --version GNOME totem 2.22.1 -- Totem is 'uninterruptible' https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/213053 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
