Binary package hint: esound
I have installed gutsy in three different computers. Two of them work fine, but
in the third one most of the gnome applications freeze after a random time.
Typical apps with problems are:
- evince
- gnome-panel
- gvim
- thunderbird
- gthumb
- ...
For example, evince runs fine once but it freezes in the next execution.
Running it with strace yields something like:
==========
connect(24, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/tmp/.esd/socket"}, 18) = 0
rt_sigaction(SIGPIPE, {0x2ae86551b980, [PIPE], SA_RESTORER|SA_RESTART,
0x2ae862e342c0}, {SIG_IGN}, 8) = 0
open("/home/user/.esd_auth", O_RDONLY) = 25
read(25, "\261V\337\215\303\376\227\274\311\355\376\376\316\16x\275"..., 16) =
16
write(24, "\261V\337\215\303\376\227\274\311\355\376\376\316\16x\275"..., 16) =
16
write(24, "NDNE", 4) = 4
read(24, <unfinished ...>
==========
Killing esd solves the problem, so far.
The problem is present with the two kernels I have tested (Linux
2.6.22-6-generic and 2.6.20-13-generic). My computer is an "Intel(R)
Core(TM)2 CPU 6600 @ 2.40GHz", with an "Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7
Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01)". I am working with
the *64 bits* Ubuntu 7.10 version.
