Public bug reported: Binary package hint: cameramonitor
Ubuntu Jaunty 32-bit Camera Monitor 0.2-2 Camera Monitor spawns "fuser" and the process goes defunct for a little time, also it keeps respawning new fuser proceses rotating the PIDS more often. Solution: Don't use child processes (fuser) for file monitoring, if possible conduct the test using python internal machinery (I think there should be one way). A more elegant solution is to use dbus to notify that the camera is in use through a signal, thus eliminating the dependence of /dev nodes, allows to manage multiple video devices and makes it possible to discern between webcams, camcorders or tuners and capture devices. Also notification is displayed almost instantly without a grace period. ** Affects: cameramonitor (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Defunct Fuser Childs in Cameramonitor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/380500 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs -- universe-bugs mailing list universe-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
