From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.3-12 i686) Description of problem: When I run xcdroast, most times, but not all, When hitting the 'duplicate' or 'master' button, xcdroast freezes and slowly eats up all of the resources so that it has to be restart via ssh and another terminal. I have updated to the latest xcdroast and companions in rawhide, but the problem still happens...it seems to happen when the system has been running awhile, because it will normally run okay after a reset. The only noticeable syslog messages refer to a missing char-major-97, but I also see this when I succesfully burn cd's. I'm not sure what logs you need, but I'll be glad to send anything you need. Note that after this happens, running cdrecord -scanbus produces nothing and must be exited with control-c Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start xcdroast (I su to root before) 2.Hit 'duplicate' or 'master' 3. Actual Results: system locked up Expected Results: it should have read the cd and displayed the tracks. Happens on blank cd's or stamped cd's Additional info: using latest stable alsa drivers on a via686a have a philipps PCRW80 using scsi-emulation...its the only drive on the secondary IDE channel. using kernel 2.4.3.12 (downloading the update to 2.4.9 now) uging the latest xcdroast-cdrecord-mkisofs-cdda2wav from rawhide
I need you to be more specific about some things. I had a go at reproducing this but didn't see any bad effects. Is the blank CD in the input tray? (That's what I tried.) By 'system locked up', do you mean that the entire machine froze? I'm guessing not from your other comments. In that case, please show me the output of 'ps axfwww' when xcdroast gets into this state. Let me know the result of trying kernel 2.4.9-6. Thanks.
Well, this seems to have been cured with the 2.4.9 kernel...I've tried all of the usual tricks, but it just seems to work now. If it happens again, I'll reopen or file another bug with your suggested output. Thanks!
Okay, great.
