I did some more testing as Nvidia's people could not reproduce problem. I found that updates subsequent to update with invalid blocklist url (tested with http://www.example.com/blocklist and http://google.com) cause freeze. I quess it's possible that real blocklist might cause same problem if they are down. I also found that I'm able to reproduce this with Nouveau too so this probably isn't problem with Nvidia driver.
Here are tests I tried, I was able to reproduce both multiple times on both, nvidia and nouveau. Clean transmission profile. 1. http://iblocklist.ottecomputers.com/files/bt_level1.gz and update -> ok 2. http://www.example.com/blocklist and update -> ok 3. http://iblocklist.ottecomputers.com/files/bt_level1.gz and update -> no freeze but stays on "Getting new blocklist" Clean profile 1. Add 1 torrent (used http://releases.ubuntu.com/maverick/ubuntu-10.10-alternate-amd64.iso.torrent) 2. http://iblocklist.ottecomputers.com/files/bt_level1.gz and update -> ok 3. http://www.example.com/blocklist and update -> ok 4. http://iblocklist.ottecomputers.com/files/bt_level1.gz and update -> freeze 5. http://iblocklist.ottecomputers.com/files/bt_level1.gz and update -> freeze 6. rm -r blocklists/ blocklist.txt.tmp 7. http://iblocklist.ottecomputers.com/files/bt_level1.gz and update -> ok 8. http://iblocklist.ottecomputers.com/files/bt_level1.gz and update -> ok 9. http://iblocklist.ottecomputers.com/files/bt_level1.gz and update -> ok 10. http://www.example.com/blocklist and update -> ok 11. http://www.example.com/blocklist and update -> freeze 12. rm -r blocklists/ blocklist.txt.tmp 13. http://www.example.com/blocklist and update -> ok 14. http://www.example.com/blocklist and update -> freeze After each freeze I killed and relaunched transmission. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/734615 Title: Transmission-gtk freezes on blocklist update _______________________________________________ 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
