[Bug 367069] Re: notify-osd runs at 100% of CPU locking up X
Not sure why work on this bug has stopped??? I've discovered that if I kill the process gnome-settings, then I can recover the computer to a usable state. Some of the ubuntu-specific appearance tweaks are gone (back to the standard gnome panel for instance), but everything works. If I use the system for a while without touching the volume knob, then eventually I trigger gnome- settings to restart somehow and everything goes back to normal with the default ubuntu appearance. Maybe this bug report should be moved to the package gnome-settings. And I'm not sure how to find out if gnome-settings has been updated from what was on the original 9.04 distribution CD. Thanks for the help. This bug is the only reason that I haven't yet upgraded to 9.04. Otherwise this is a fabulous version of Ubuntu. -- notify-osd runs at 100% of CPU locking up X https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/367069 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 335201] Re: gnome-settings-daemon grabs my keyboard and won't let go
I have the same bug on my Toshiba laptop running the 9.04 live CD. When I adjust the volume knob on the side of the laptop, gnome-settings goes into some funky state where it continually triggers notify-osd. Even with only a minor volume adjustment, the volume will run away to full maximum or full mininum and continue to stay there. It effectively locks up the keyboard and the gnome panel, but the mouse still works for some things. I originally thought the problem was notify-osd which was running at 100% of CPU, but some investigation with the help of the notify-osd guys shows the problem is likely gnome-settings. If I kill gnome-settings then everything works fine, but without the Ubuntu appearance. If I do something to trigger a restart of gnome-settings (like change the wallpaper), then the Ubuntu appearance comes back and everything works just fine until I touch the volume knob again. Then the entire process repeats. In my case this is very reproducible and is triggered only by the volume knob, but not the on-screen volume slider which can be safely adjusted with the mouse. My previous work on this issue can be found at bug 367069 which is probably a duplicate of this one. -- gnome-settings-daemon grabs my keyboard and won't let go https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/335201 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 367069] [NEW] notify-osd runs at 100% of CPU locking up X
Public bug reported: Trying to run 9.04 live CD and every time I adjust the volume with the knob on the side of my laptop, the notify-osd process goes to 100% of cpu and stays there making X effectively lock up. The mouse cursor is still visible and moves, but nothing else works. When I switch to a console, and run top, I see notify-osd at 100%. If I kill the process, notify-osd just comes back and resumes using 100% of CPU. I'm on an Toshiba Satellite laptop. Model U-305-s7449. This is very reproducible and happens within seconds of touching the volume knob (which works fine in 8.04). I'll play around with this more later. I'm not exactly a newbie, but I'm not a programmer either so some hints to diagnose this would be welcome. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- notify-osd runs at 100% of CPU locking up X https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/367069 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 367069] Re: notify-osd runs at 100% of CPU locking up X
A little more about this bug. I've been playing around with this some more and the notify-osd process seems to behave just fine until I touch the volume knob on the side of the laptop. I can adjust the volume using the mouse and the volume icon at the top of the screen with no problems. Also I can trigger notifications for other reasons (like connect and disconnect from wifi) and notify-osd wakes for a second or two, shows the notification, then goes back to "sleep". However, if I even touch the volume knob, the volume notification pops up and runs away to maximum or minimum volume and begins to consume 100% CPU. Killing the process doesn't do any good, because it just restarts. As long as I don't touch the volume knob, everything is fine. In fact, I'm typing this now from the Live CD. I'm afraid to install 9.04 to replace 8.04 because I don't want to have a runaway volume notification every time I touch the volume. Is there anything else that would be helpful to diagnose this? lspci printout or something similar? Let me know and I'll post whatever. -- notify-osd runs at 100% of CPU locking up X https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/367069 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 367069] Re: notify-osd runs at 100% of CPU locking up X
I downloaded and ran the scripts. I got the message that the command "notify-send" was not installed, so I installed the package libnotify- bin and ran them again. Both scripts seem to work just fine. The notification popped up, showed an "increasing volume" and then the notifications disappeared and notify-osd went back to sleep. Maybe the problem has something to do with the signal being received from the volume knob. When I move the knob slightly, the notification should show a slight change in the volume then go back to sleep. Instead, the notification seems to think that I am continuing to move the knob and goes to max or min volume. It's like there's an endless loop in the code somewhere related to the signal from the volume knob. Anything else I should try? Perhaps a script that actually changes the volume? Remember, I can change the volume with the mouse and slider bar with no problems. -- notify-osd runs at 100% of CPU locking up X https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/367069 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 367069] Re: notify-osd runs at 100% of CPU locking up X
So I ran the debug command and then barely moved the volume knob to increase the volume. The notification popped up and immediately ran away to max volume. I did CTRL-C to kill the process, but it immediately restarted and went right back to 100% CPU with the notification box flashing. However after about 20 seconds, the notification went away and notify-osd went back to sleep. So I tried it again. Ran the debug command and nudged the volume knob. Same result except this time, after CTRL-C, the notify-osd process never went back to sleep. I had to reboot with the power button. The log file attached below is from the second run. Some other observations about the behavior when it is "locked up." It's not completely locked up and the mouse seems to work, but the keyboard and the panels don't work. I don't know if that's important, but there it is. ** Attachment added: "n-osd.log" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/26114254/n-osd.log -- notify-osd runs at 100% of CPU locking up X https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/367069 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 572038] Re: Update Manager does not prompt to upgrade to 10.04 if "LTS upgrades" option is set in sources.list
Michael, So when will the update be offered to 8.04 users? I still have several machines on 8.04 and couldn't figure out why the update wasn't showing up yet. I also have a machine on 9.04 that doesn't show 10.04 as an upgrade option even when I select "Long term support releases only". It only shows 9.10 and only then when I select "Normal releases" in the Update Manager settings. -- Update Manager does not prompt to upgrade to 10.04 if "LTS upgrades" option is set in sources.list https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/572038 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

OK. Thanks. I did not realize that was the case and the upgrade manager didn't provide any hints. Perhaps there should be a note about this in the update manager? I'm sure I'm not the first person to wonder why the LTS release wasn't offered. -Original Message- From: jtniehof Date: Sat, 01 May 2010 19:43:00 To: Subject: [Bug 572038] Re: Update Manager does not prompt to upgrade to 10.04 if "LTS upgrades" option is set in sources.list J Jones: "version skip" upgrading is only supported from LTS to LTS, so your 9.04 machine will have to go to 9.10 first.
