I have the "unkillable process" problem without fuse or totem being involved, on a headless server install, not running X.
Was installing sbcl (sudo apt-get install sbcl) inside a screen(1) session and now the apt process and the launched sbcl (which is trying to generate some cache or something) are both unkillable with kill -9 and killall -9. The other interesting symptom is that pstree -p reports all processes fine, but ps aux actually locks up midway through its report. When the sbcl install locked up for over an hour, I instinctively ctrl-c'd it and ran it again without noticing the first one had not died. Now I have multiple unkillable sbcl processes; I've attached the relevant section of pstree. The screen session that launched those processes is also now unkillable, but other processes (new and old) are behaving normally. If I reliably duplicate this, I'll post more info. ** Attachment added: "pstree.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14699871/pstree.txt -- Totem is 'uninterruptible' https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/213053 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
