If I understand it correctly, having one zombie process running is not much to worry about. It does not consume memory anymore. It only uses one entry in the process table. So if you have 1 zombie, you only have one process ID less available to start new processes. Unless you're running thousands of processes and can't start new ones because no PID is left, having one zombie is no problem at all. Of course these things should be fixed, because if all programs leave zombies behind this might become a problem.
Have a heart for that poor zombie process and just wait for oneiric to hunt it to death ;-) (Please correct me if I am wrong.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/739780 Title: Session starting with a zeitgeist-datahub zombie process To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/zeitgeist/+bug/739780/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
