process problem

[Thomas]

I have a problem with transmission (svn and ubuntu version): 100% cpu load and I can not kill the process with

sudo kill -9 `prep transmission`

it just get a zombie process and this can also not killed.

I tried to debug this behavior with gdb, but I cannon pause the process with CTRL+C (whether I try to attach gdb wth --pid or start transmission from gdb).

In gnome-system-monitor I can only see, that transmission is in wait_channel: ptrace_stop

I think, that the kernel handle the process stuff, so that the bug is to search there?

The bug is that I can non kill the process whether debug it.

[This is an automated message. Apologies if it has reached you inappropriately.]

This bug was reported against the linux-meta package when it likely should have been reported against the linux package instead. We are automatically transitioning this to the linux kernel package so that the appropriate teams are notified and made aware of this issue.

If this bug really is a bug in the linux-meta package you can move it back to linux-meta and tag it kj-linux-meta, or contact us on the #ubuntu-kernel channel on the FreeNode IRC server. Thanks.
