Public bug reported: Binary package hint: galeon
After using Galeon some time (an hour or so? sometimes shorter if I do a lot of page refreshes), it either crashes or becomes unresponsive. Here's the output to std.err.: ---- I/O error : Too many open files ** (galeon:11104): WARNING **: Failed to save /home/kimiko/.galeon/session_crashed.xml ---- ..possibly repeated a few times if it didn't crash right away and I tried to click a link a few times before noticing it not responding. Here's a backtrace from gdb: ---- #0 0xffffe410 in __kernel_vsyscall () #1 0xb72037c3 in *__GI___poll () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 #2 0xb73b6883 in g_main_context_check () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 #3 0xb73b6bf9 in g_main_loop_run () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 #4 0xb756ca23 in bonobo_main () from /usr/lib/libbonobo-2.so.0 #5 0x0807d1c8 in main () ---- Using lsof shows that Galeon opens the same file many, many times: /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose locale says: ---- LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL= ---- Encoding in Galeon is set to 'Universal' and 'automatic', whatever that means. I think I noticed this bug in Epiphany too once. I'll see if I can get output/backtrace for that too. ** Affects: galeon (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- crashes after some time: too many files opened https://launchpad.net/bugs/62931 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
