Just to add that I also have this problem from time to time. Distribution: Ubuntu 10.10 - 32 bit Kernel: 2.6.35-22 generic #35-Ubuntu SMP Sat Oct 16 20:36:48 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
Symptoms: Apps that are open will continue to function but most new apps will not launch. I have had gnome-terminal open and it works but if I try to open a new one I simply see the new terminal process show up in "poll_schedule_timeout". Some apps seem to still open such as System Monitor and sometimes chromium. But all other applications and menu bars seem to stop. Typically I will see processors firefox in do_wait and firefox-bin will be in "poll_schedule_timeout" but when things seem to stop working firefox will just have the "poll_schedule_timeout". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/488849 Title: memory eaten: poll_schedule_timeout -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
