High CPU usage

[slow]

1. Go to a directory where something is being downloaded.
2. Refresh a couple of times.

CPU usage jumps to 100% and stays that way even after switching to another directory.

Using 386 kernel by the way.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Thanks for your bug. What version of Ubuntu do you use? Does it depends of the format of the file you download? Could you get a backtrace with nautilus-dbg installed when that happens, using gdb:
- gdb -p $(pidof nautilus)
(gdb) thread apply all bt

[slow (no1wantdthisname)]

I'm using edgy.
Nautilus 2.15.90.
Happens regardless of file being downloaded.

The backtrace:

I'm able to reproduce this using slow's instruction.

$ cd /tmp
$ nautilus .
$ wget http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-8774/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8774-pkg1.run

Hit refresh button on nautilus view couple of times and cpu usage goes high.

[Michael Monreal (mimox)]

I'm also seeing this. I still use Ubuntu Dapper on this machine but I have compiled nautilus 2.16 from source.

[John Dong (jdong)]

On Edgy, I am also seeing this with AVI's. To reproduce, use Acidrip to rip something to an AVI (default settings are fine, 1-pass is faster). Have Nautilus go into the directory where the AVI is being outputted. Press refresh a few times, then close the nautilus window, then close acidrip. Now nautilus is stuck at 100% CPU.

Doing a backtrace, I get:

[GonzO (gonzo)]

A big "me too" on this one.

It's a shame; its the only thing about Edgy that I'd call a showstopper. Everything else is working swimmingly for me.

[Jason Gerard DeRose (jderose)]

I'm experiencing the same problem using Thoggen under Edgy.

It isn't necessary to hit refresh to trigger this. Simply opening nautilus to a directory containing a file that is being updated, and then immediately closing the nautilus window or changing to anther directory (like home) does the same thing... the CPU usage will shoot up to near 100% and will stay there till the process is killed (with "killall nautilus" or the like).

[Pierre-Charles David (pcdavid)]

I confirm this on a current Edgy (as of 2006-10-21), with nautilus 2.16.1-0ubuntu3. This is on AMD64 but in 32bit mode. This happens to me when downloading AVIs or ISOs, with Firefox or wget, i.e. basically any time there is a constantly growing file.

I don't know if this can help, but I attach the first 50 lines of an "strace $(pidof nautilus)" after the problem occured.

[Christoffer Karvonen (xopher)]

Confirmed here too, running Edgy amd64.

Have had this problem for a while now :/

[Rhubarb (cdawdy)]

Confirmed here too.
Running Edgy i386
While downloading a file with the default bittorrent manager,
clicking (once) on the incomplete file in Nautilus in the directory causes 100% cpu usage on one core - am running on a core duo here.

[dedalus (dedal34)]

I got this bug too
running edgy on a centrino inspiron 8600c

this happen when opening a folder with video in it.

[John Dong (jdong)]

I don't think there's much of a need to echo confirmations... It's pretty consistently reproducible and I've experienced this in all the GNOME 2.16's I've tried.

[Artemis3 (artemis3)]

Oh, i have seen this since Edgy Eft Beta; just by pluging my digital photo camera, importing a couple of pics and then turning off the camera triggers it. To fix, i simply kill the nautilus process and remember next time when importing pictures not to turn off the camera but wait whatever timeout exists...

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

not a nautilus issue

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

fixed upstream

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

I'll look at backporting that to edgy

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

I've uploaded i386 packages with the patch to http://people.ubuntu.com/~seb128/debug/54684/ if somebody wants to test and comment on whether it fixes the bug for him too, they work fine for me

[John Dong (jdong)]

Fixes the problem for me! Requires a killall nautilus to take effect after installing, but I can no longer reproduce this bug :). Thank you so much!

[Pierre-Charles David (pcdavid)]

The fix works for me too. Thanks Sebastien.

[Matti Lindell (mlind)]

Fixes the issue here aswell =) Thanks seb.

[Paul Bell (launchpad-dpb)]

Any chance of an x86_64 deb please? This is driving me bonkers!

     - patch from CVS, possible fix for an ekiga crashing on closing

[Sebastian Breier (tomcat42)]

Any chances that this will be officially fixed in edgy? Or do I have to get the packages manually?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Maybe you could read the comments on a bug before adding a new one? That question has already been asked and there is a reply to it, extra comments on the same topic only create extra bug load for the maintainer who doesn't work on fixing the bug while ready that new comment

>Maybe you could read the comments on a bug before adding a new one?

Well Sebastian, I too am asking the same question as Mr. Breier because I don't see an obvious answer in the posts.

Do you happen to know when will this patch be integrated into the official edgy distro?

The release notes for the libgnomevfs2 that is installed on my edgy system does not mention your fixes and it is up to date according to Synaptic. If the answer is in the posts somewhere and I somehow missed it, could you humor me and answer the question anyways?

I have the same problem a Jad. I get broken dependencies error. I ran sudo apt-get install -f and it totally killed my installation. I had to reinstall Ubuntu completely, and on reinstalling libgnomevfs2-common_2.16.1-0ubuntu3_all.deb i got the same problem again. How do i fix this?

why not using edgy-proposed which is an official apt source?

Read the edgy-changes list or try to dist-upgrade with that source

for something else you should probably comment it

I'm running Edgy and I have the edgy-updates source in my sources.list, but 'aptitude changelog gnome-vfs2' doesn't show this fix as being there. What am I missing?

I've tried reloading with Synaptic and there are no new packages. When I added edgy-proposed I saw the libgnome-vfs packages there, is it still not in edgy?

I have this problem as well. I downloaded all the patches and got them installed and my CPU still goes up to 100% and stays there until reboot. I can reproduce this problem by just open Firefox, OpenGL apps, and a few other programs. Any other ideas?

[juantovar (juantovarm)]

I do not know if this is the correct place to post this, but to answer BJizzle's question, it might help. I have been having a weird problem with my pc and it is that all my apps just went to sleep, nothing ran, impossible to do anything but surf the web with firefox...until i installed beryl...i don't have to be running it, just have it installed. why? i don't know but it works for me

BJizzle: If you're not using Nautilus to get high CPU usage, your problems have nothing to do with this bug. You should open a new bug for it.

juantovar: Sorry to say, but this is the wrong place. You might want to check ubuntuforums.org or #ubuntu on FreeNode (IRC) if you want to analze the problem, then post bug new reports when you need to. Or just don't, as your solution seems to work quite well for you. ;)
