Description of problem: When I click a certain link in firefox, the machine starts running like treacle. With some struggle I managed to run top and see that software interrupts (si) handling are pegged at around 99% CPU, and ksoftirqd is the top process. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.31-0.125.4.2.rc5.git2.fc12.i686.PAE How reproducible: 3 times out of 3 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to URL above in firefox 2. Click the green "Login" button Actual results: X appears to freeze Expected results: no freeze Additional info: Fedora is virtualised inside VirtualBox 3.0.4_OSE running on Mac OS X 10.5.8. I am running an X server (Xephyr) on the Mac OS X host and using that as the X server for firefox. The URL above contains Flash, which is run by (I think) swfdec, or anyway, *something* running in nspluginviewer. So maybe it's nspluginviewer that's causing this - other web pages don't seem to have this problem.
Can't reproduce this here; I'm using Adobe Flash, though. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle. Changing version to '12'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
swfdec can no longer render the Flash on that page on my machine, so I can't reproduce the original conditions that led to this bug. Closing.
