gwibber-daemon takes too much cpu

[markuz]

Using gwibber 2.0.0 (from gwibber ppa).

Gwibber was using a fairly small amount of my cpu time, but since a week ago it takes a lot, fortunately I have a 2 cores cpu and didn't feel that my system get slow, but a single process using one core 90% of the time is a sign that something is wrong.

May there be a while cycle that is causing this?. maybe an gobject's idle_add ?. By the time I don't know what triggers the daemon to use that amount of cpu time, but whatever it is it shouln't be.

Anything I can do for you just tell me :-)

The workaround I have been doing is using cpulimit to restrict the amount of CPU that gwibber-daemon can use.

Could you try disabling Facebook in Gwibber and then restarting the daemon? Does this problem still show up when you have Facebook disabled?

I'm doing it right now and I will check today for gwibber-daemon cpu usage and report it on the noon.

I'm having a similar problem with 2.0.0~bzr466-0ubuntu1 which is now in the karmic repository.

I dealt with this a few times by just killing the gwibber-daemon process.

Then just now, this was happening with just a gwibber-daemon, and no gwibber process, running. I then launched gwibber from the indicator applet, and when I switched from 'Home' to 'Messages', gwibber-daemon stopped using the CPU.

It went back to using full CPU a few minutes later. Opening and poking at gwibber didn't have any effect this time. But it's now gone back to using no CPU again without further intervention.

I tried attaching strace to it, but just got:

restart_syscall(<... resuming interrupted call ...>

I disabled my facebook account form gwibber and it isn't using a lot my cpu, is more reasonable now.

[markuz (markuz)]

Just to confirm. disabling facebook account gwibber-daemon stops using all my cpu.

I am using facebook too and gwibber nearly brings my system to freeze...

[Michael B. Trausch (mtrausch)]

Am using the version of Gwibber packaged in Ubuntu Lucid, and am experiencing very heavy CPU usage, which appears to happen when it looks for updates from the various services I have accounts registered with it for (which includes Facebook).

This bug is about gwibber-daemon and I now gwibber dont have gwibber daemon. the new service is gwibber-services so should this bug be closed?

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

I am marking this fixed as I wrote in the last comment now in the development release (2.29.xx) there is no service with the name gwibber-daemon and the new service is 'gwibber-services' which dont seem to be using much of my ram.

2.29.92.1 is eating my CPU

Using Fb, twitter and identi.ca

Without fb, still eating a lot of CPU

I wouldn't consider it fixed. It may be renamed gwibber-services, but it's still hogging my CPU!

(Also, I believe that "Fix Released" means an actual problem was fixed and released. Problems that resolve themselves without further intervention are usually marked Invalid. Correct me if I am wrong.)

Still problem in the daily build, Takes one core to 100% but jumps around on what core.

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

This is an already know bug in Lucid marking this duplicate
