Back on Maverick I experienced similar hangs related to vmware player, but back then I could ssh in and just kill the player to fix the problem.
I since switched to virtualbox and the hangs no longer occurred until I upgrated to Natty, and it does not appear to be linked to any particular program. I've seen it happen with just a VirtualBox vm running, a Windows app in Wine, Pidgin, Lotus Notes etc. Next time it happens I'll check for cpu usage instead of just restarting gdm -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/773564 Title: compiz occasionally hangs with 100% cpu usage (inotify plugin infinite loop) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/773564/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
