2008-10-11 21:32:03 unikob description Npviewer segfaults when visiting a website on Firefox with flash content. After that thunderbird, firefox stop responding and they have to be force quitted. Their processes (thunderbird.bin and firefox) can't be killed with kill -9 or killall. After a while these messages turn up on terminal: (taken from kern.log) Sep 30 22:37:19 ubuntu kernel: [19808.392380] INFO: task thunderbird-bin:28288 blocked for more than 120 seconds. Sep 30 22:37:19 ubuntu kernel: [19808.392418] "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message. I have to reboot using Sysreq + reisub. This happens at least once a day on fully updated (as of 30.09.2008) Intrebid Ibex on x86_64. uname -a: Linux ubuntu 2.6.27-4-generic #1 SMP Wed Sep 24 01:29:06 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux Attached kern.log with relevant bits of two separate occasions. This appears to be a kernel bug related to IO. Although everytime I get this I've got Firefox open, latest incident happened when I had mp3gain running through my music collection.

"INFO: task blocked for more than 120 seconds" is a diagnostic message for when a process that wants to run is blocked from running for a long time. This bug report refers to a specific problem with idle-priority scheduling that has now been fixed. If you are up to date and are still getting the "task blocked" message, it is a different bug, so please file a new bug report.
