Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gvfs-fuse
Since installing intrepid, I have had trouble with programs freezing.
>From what I have determined, it is caused by thread locking, and gvfs-
fuse-daemon.
The way to make it happen seems to be to use my computer for a while,
and then sooner or later, a program freezes. When it does, if I open
system monitor, it will show the waiting signal for the frozen program
to be futex_wait, and will show the waiting signal for gvfs-fuse-daemon
to be futex_wait.
I've tried to find information about futexes, but the web is pretty
quiet on the matter. This bug seems similar to bug 303190, but I think
it's different.
The only solution I have found to this bug is to kill the application that is
frozen. This has happened to:
- gnome-panel
- gnome-do
- firefox
- eclipse
- python
- getty (I think)
- and a few others
Every now and then my computer freezes, and I think this is the culprit
because if this happened to a process like gdm, it would cause me to be
unable to figure out the waiting channel.
Also, I'm not sure if this helps, but I installed with the encrypted
drive option via the alternate installer.
If there is anything I can do to provide a less subjective bug report,
I'd love to help, but I've little idea where to go from here so this can
be confirmed.
I've attached a screenshot of system-monitor at the time of the current
futex_wait lock-up.
