ping, any update here ? Are the zombie processes actually causing a problem? Sort of. In tests/gui/ we click the Help button and close the Yelp window every time we enter a new spoke. For some reason this fails when we start leaving zombies behind. However I tested it the other day with an updated git checkout and still saw problems but manifested slightly differently. I'll give it a thorough test once more next week and update this BZ. Maybe we can drop the help clicking code and design a new test for that, thoughts ? This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 24 development cycle. Changing version to '24'. More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Program_Management/HouseKeeping/Fedora24#Rawhide_Rebase |
Created attachment 1094859 [details] Help screen error Description of problem: When the built-in help is started and then closed the Yelp process becomes a zombie. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-24.6-2.fc24.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. /usr/sbin/anaconda -G --dirinstall /var/tmp/ 2. At the welcome spoke click the Help button 3. Yelp is started (there is an error showing the help text though) # ps aux | grep yelp root 19413 10.6 2.4 2235508 49544 pts/1 Sl+ 06:44 0:00 yelp /usr/share/anaconda/help/en-US/WelcomeSpoke.xml root 19443 0.0 0.0 118520 964 pts/2 S+ 06:44 0:00 grep --color=auto yelp 4. Now close the yelp window (clicking the X in the top right corner). Yelp closes and shortly after: # ps aux | grep yelp root 19413 2.4 0.0 0 0 pts/1 Z+ 06:44 0:00 [yelp] <defunct> root 19457 0.0 0.0 118520 900 pts/2 S+ 06:44 0:00 grep --color=auto yelp If you move on to the hub screen and click the Help button again nothing happens. Step 4 can be also performed a bit differently: 4) Instead of closing the yelp window click somewhere else on the anaconda UI. The yelp window is hidden. Proceed to the hub and click the Help button again. Anaconda should kill the running yelp process and start it anew. Instead we get two zombie processes: # ps aux | grep yelp root 19250 1.2 2.4 2227300 49052 pts/0 Sl+ 06:42 0:00 yelp /usr/share/anaconda/help/en-US/WelcomeSpoke.xml root 19294 0.0 0.0 118520 912 pts/2 S+ 06:43 0:00 grep --color=auto yelp [root@dell-pe860-01 gui]# ps aux | grep yelp root 19250 0.8 0.0 0 0 pts/0 Z+ 06:42 0:00 [yelp] <defunct> root 19296 5.3 0.0 0 0 pts/0 Z+ 06:43 0:00 [yelp] <defunct> Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: Sometimes I see zombies right after clicking Help for the first time but rarely. This usually happens after the first help window is closed. I have accessibility enabled. I'm not sure if this matters.
