Description Jesse Keating 2006-06-15 21:04:51 UTC

About once a week my Gnome desktop looses the ability to fillin widgets for
windows I open.  Through some helpful debugging I've narrowed it down to the esd
process blocking things up.  If I kill -9 the esd process, my windows start
filling out again.  Ray Strode has seen this once before.  I'm filing this
ticket so it doesn't get lost.

I have no known way of reproducing, however if I'm in the office the next time
this happens I can show somebody.

happens to me even more often. esd will all the sudden consume 97% or more cpu
(on a dual core!). Killing it recovers everything.

esound-0.2.37-1.fc7.x86_64

Jost, eating CPU is different from blocking the session. Please file another bug
about your problem.

Jesse, could you get a backtrace of your program (with -debuginfo installed)
when this happens? Also, could you check whether you can still play sounds using
esdplay?

Comment 3 Jesse Keating 2007-03-25 11:32:07 UTC

I haven't seen this happen in a while, so I don't know if I can ever provide
this information.

Comment 4 Bastien Nocera 2007-03-25 14:16:41 UTC

I'll close it as insufficient data. Feel free to reopen the bug if you can
provide the data requested.
