Using htop, I determined that the top CPU-consuming process was ding.js (by rastersoft). After disabling the ding extension, CPU usage returned to normal levels. However, when active, system icons seem to be malfunctioning. For example, I cannot rename desktop icons. This is my Ubuntu System: Description: Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS Release: 24.04 The software version: gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons-ng: Installato: 46+really47.0.9-1 Candidato: 46+really47.0.9-1 Tabella versione: *** 46+really47.0.9-1 500 500 http://it.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu noble/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 24.04 Package: gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons-ng 46+really47.0.9-1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 6.8.0-45.45-generic 6.8.12 Uname: Linux 6.8.0-45-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.28.1-0ubuntu3.1 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: pass CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Thu Sep 19 16:44:20 2024 InstallationDate: Installed on 2024-04-29 (143 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS "Noble Numbat" - Release amd64 (20240424) PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: LANG=it_IT.UTF-8 PATH=(custom, no user) SHELL=/bin/bash TERM=xterm-256color SourcePackage: gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons-ng UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) [ Bug ] The bug is due to resource exhaustion during the creation of the Templates list for desktop icons. Since each folder inside is registered in a GLib Monitor to detect changes and refresh the list, if there are too many folders, the number of open file descriptors will be too big and the desktop icons application will crash. [ User impact ] This bug, when produced, not only prevents using the desktop icons, but also produces an annoying effect due to the desktop program resetting over and over again, forcing the user to disable the desktop icons extension. [ Test plan ] - Remove the Templates folder - Soft link the home folder (or any other folder with a lot of subfolders) with the Templates name: ln -s . Templates - Another way is to copy data inside the Templates folder with more than 1024 folders - The desktop icons will begin to appear and disappear [ Risks ] The risk, in the worst case, is that the templates in the desktop stop working, but at least the rest of the desktop icons would work. [ Other info ] The patch sets a limit to the number of templates, to ensure that the number of open file descriptors isn't too much big, and thus avoiding its exhaustion.
