Linux lucidity 2.6.32-28-generic #55-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jan 10 23:42:43 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux plymouth: Installed: 0.8.2-2ubuntu2.2 I have a virtual machine running Lucid Lynx (10.04 LTS). In order to access X remotely I installed XDM and made it listen to XDMCP requests. However now after every reboot plymouthd process continues running eating ~30% of my CPU (4 cpus are passed to the kvm instance). This causes increased CPU usage by the virtual instance while not doing anything useful. When I connect to the virtual console through virt- manager/vnc it looks like plymouth has stuck and does not want to release the terminal to XDM. The virtual machine uses standard qemu cirrus video board with 9Mb of video RAM. stracing the instance shows the following repetitive pattern: ioctl(12, KDSETMODE, 0x1) = 0 ioctl(12, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or TCGETS, {B38400 -opost -isig -icanon -echo ...}) = 0 ioctl(12, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or TCGETS, {B38400 -opost -isig -icanon -echo ...}) = 0 ioctl(12, SNDCTL_TMR_START or TCSETS, {B38400 -opost -isig -icanon -echo ...}) = 0 ioctl(12, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or TCGETS, {B38400 -opost -isig -icanon -echo ...}) = 0 ioctl(11, FBIOPUTCMAP, 0x7fff8e481030) = 0 clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {811, 352125780}) = 0 epoll_wait(3, {}, 8, 0) = 0 clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {811, 352470975}) = 0 clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {811, 352581238}) = 0 clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {811, 352658269}) = 0 clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {811, 353030692}) = 0 clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {811, 353104928}) = 0 epoll_wait(3, {}, 8, 7) = 0 clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {811, 369024281}) = 0 clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {811, 369183141}) = 0 ioctl(12, KDSETMODE, 0x1) = 0 ioctl(12, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or TCGETS, {B38400 -opost -isig -icanon -echo ...}) = 0 ioctl(12, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or TCGETS, {B38400 -opost -isig -icanon -echo ...}) = 0 ioctl(12, SNDCTL_TMR_START or TCSETS, {B38400 -opost -isig -icanon -echo ...}) = 0 ioctl(12, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or TCGETS, {B38400 -opost -isig -icanon -echo ...}) = 0 ioctl(11, FBIOPUTCMAP, 0x7fff8e481030) = 0 clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {811, 375682768}) = 0 epoll_wait(3, {}, 8, 10) = 0 clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {811, 380466955}) = 0 clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {811, 380553068}) = 0 epoll_wait(3, {}, 8, 5) = 0 clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {811, 390216102}) = 0 clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {811, 390340335}) = 0 clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {811, 390419645}) = 0 clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {811, 390793154}) = 0 clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {811, 390877838}) = 0 ioctl(12, KDSETMODE, 0x1) = 0 ioctl(12, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or TCGETS, {B38400 -opost -isig -icanon -echo ...}) = 0 ioctl(12, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or TCGETS, {B38400 -opost -isig -icanon -echo ...}) = 0 ioctl(12, SNDCTL_TMR_START or TCSETS, {B38400 -opost -isig -icanon -echo ...}) = 0 ioctl(12, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or TCGETS, {B38400 -opost -isig -icanon -echo ...}) = 0 ioctl(11, FBIOPUTCMAP, 0x7fff8e481030) = 0 clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {811, 400483946}) = 0 fd 11 is /dev/fb0, fd12 is /dev/tty7 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 Package: plymouth 0.8.2-2ubuntu2.2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-28.55-generic 2.6.32.27+drm33.12 Uname: Linux 2.6.32-28-generic x86_64 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDmesg: [ 10.981861] ppdev: user-space parallel port driver [ 11.482482] JBD: barrier-based sync failed on vda1-8 - disabling barriers [ 61.045749] JBD: barrier-based sync failed on vdb1-8 - disabling barriers Date: Wed Feb 23 14:42:34 2011 DefaultPlymouth: /lib/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-logo/ubuntu-logo.plymouth InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS "Lucid Lynx" - Release amd64 (20100816.1) Lsusb: Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub MachineType: Bochs Bochs ProcCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-28-generic root=UUID=6e00515a-17b9-404d-951d-212541d2a5bc ro quiet splash ProcEnviron: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcFB: 0 VGA16 VGA SourcePackage: plymouth TextPlymouth: /lib/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-text/ubuntu-text.plymouth dmi.bios.date: 01/01/2007 dmi.bios.vendor: Bochs dmi.bios.version: Bochs dmi.chassis.type: 1 dmi.chassis.vendor: Bochs dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnBochs:bvrBochs:bd01/01/2007:svnBochs:pnBochs:pvr:cvnBochs:ct1:cvr: dmi.product.name: Bochs dmi.sys.vendor: Bochs ** Affects: xdm (Ubuntu) Importance: High Status: Triaged ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug lucid -- [lucid] plymouthd uses 30% cpu after xdm is started https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/723698 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xdm in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
