There is most definitely a problem with something not closing connections. After a fresh reboot, lsof -n | grep /tmp/.ICE-unix/5724 | wc --lines reads 10. After starting Firefox, Thunderbird, Amarok, Kopete, and Eclipse, it reads 18. Closing and restarting Amarok pushes it to 21. Three instances should have been closed when Amarok was shut down, but they weren't. Also, the count would increase slowly over time when Amarok was left running in the backround. However, it seems like this bug might not be consistent - I started anki and it added one, then I closed it and the count fell by one. Same for gedit. Kopete didn't release its connection when it was restarted. Nor did piklab or openoffice. Maybe this is a compatibility problem with KDE or Qt apps running in gnome? It would appear that Gnome apps either successfully close the connection when they exit, or they don't open one in the first place. For example, gimp doesn't even seem to open one - the count doesn't change.
One odd thing I noticed: amarok only has problems with opening extra connections on my 32 bit machine and not on my 64 bit machine. They should be running pretty much the same software. However, the 64 bit machine does has the same problem with leaving connections open. -- x-session manager eats 100% CPU, nautilus won't start, applications won't start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107950 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
