[Bug 389686] Re: compiz --replace fails to kill metacity, resulting in cpu overload
I see a similar effect here. I had been running with desktop effects disabled (metacity), and then re-enabled them (switching to compiz). it seems that gnome-session is continually respawning metacity continuously, chewing up lots of CPU. metacity fails quickly because compiz is already running, but it gets started again immediately. I think the problem is likely in gnome-session rather than metacity itself, though I haven't investigated. ** Package changed: metacity (Ubuntu) = gnome-session (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: gnome-session (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = High ** Changed in: gnome-session (Ubuntu) Status: New = Triaged -- compiz --replace fails to kill metacity, resulting in cpu overload https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/389686 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-session in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 389686] Re: compiz --replace fails to kill metacity, resulting in cpu overload
Re-assigning back to Metacity. It seems Metacity sets SmRestartImmediately when it first runs, and normally sets SmRestartIfRunning on a clean exit, which is perfectly okay. However, the code path which is triggered on startup when Metacity can't control the display (if another WM is running), does not set SmrestartIfRunning before exiting, which can trigger this endless loop of restarting. Fixing that should stop the endless looping. However, this was also the case in Jaunty, so there must be another underlying issue with the newer version which needs some more investigating. Either there is a code path which is triggered when you run compiz --replace which causes Metacity to exit before setting SmRestartIfRunning, or something calls meta_restart (), which spawns a new Metacity independently of the session manager, which then exits immediately after setting SmRestartImmediately, triggering the endless loop mentioned above. I'll look at this more when I get home. ** Package changed: gnome-session (Ubuntu) = metacity (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: metacity (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged = In Progress ** Changed in: metacity (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) = Chris Coulson (chrisccoulson) -- compiz --replace fails to kill metacity, resulting in cpu overload https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/389686 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 389686] Re: compiz --replace fails to kill metacity, resulting in cpu overload
I've done some more debugging now. The case where metacity runs but
immediately exits without setting SmRestartIfRunning (which also existed
in Jaunty) is not an issue, because metacity doesn't set a restart
command - so gnome-session won't restart it unless it was autostarted
when the session began.
So the only case which triggers this then is when Metacity is
autostarted when the session begins, then exits when you run Compiz. In
Jaunty, metacity correctly sets SmRestartIfRunning before exiting (I
verified this by looking at some debug output from gnome-session), but
in Karmic this doesn't happen. In this scenario, gnome-session will
respawn it continuously, which is what is happening.
I can see the change which breaks it, but I'm a bit uncomfortable with
reverting it without understanding why it is there. Basically, it seems
that meta_session_shutdown is called after meta_display_close was
already called.
