Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 103925
Freeze-ups, CPU-munching, etc while using "screen" over ssh in gnome-terminal
Last modified: 2007-04-18 12:57:25 EDT
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: Gnome-terminal works great for me, except under one specific area: When I ssh to my Debian box, and attach to my "mutt" session with "screen", I encounter various problems: - The window can go all funny, with characters disappearing or colours showing up in odd places. I fix this by detaching from screen then re-ataching. - It will freeze up for a few seconds or minutes, with the CPU chugging away on something. It usually recovers from this, but sometimes it seems to go forever (at least until my patience is gone). None of the gnome-terminal tabs are responsive during this. This problem is guaranteed to happen to me within a few minutes of using gnome-terminal to read my email. This doesn't seem to be a Debian or screen problem. It only happens when I'm doing this with gnome-terminal from my Redhat 9 laptop. Using xterm, or accessing it from any other computer works 100% of the time. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. SSH into my desktop machine (Debian Testing) from my Redhat 9 laptop. 2. Attach to my "mutt" session with "screen -dr mutt" 3. Read some email...write email, whatever. After a little bit, the problems I mentioned start to happen. Actual Results: Seemingly random lockups and CPU munching, strange window rewrites, etc. Expected Results: Should be able to read my email like normal... Additional info: This system is completely "up2date" [vic@strummer vic]$ rpm -q gnome-terminal gnome-terminal-2.2.1-3 Not sure what else to tell you. Will gladly provide additional feedback if requested.
Hi, This bug is quite old now. Given the lack of activity on this report and the likelihood that this bug has already been fixed, I am going to close it. If you encounter the problem discussed in this report with Fedora Core 3 or a recent version of gnome-terminal/vte, feel free to reopen. Thanks
