Here is what smemstat reports for one of the spinning processes: 25375 0.0 B 11.0 M 12.5 M 19.1 M phablet /usr/lib/arm- linux-gnueabihf/thumbnailer/vs-thumb
That's while the process is eating around 110% CPU. So, swap doesn't seem to be the issue. After running kill -9 25375, top continues to show the process as running, still using 110% CPU, and the wait in the script doesn't return. However, running smemstat again after sending the SIGKILL no longer produces any output. It looks like smemstat thinks the process isn't there anymore (even though top continues to show it). Then, 30 seconds after having sent the kill, the process finally terminates. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gstreamer1.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1466273 Title: gstreamer fails intermittently Status in Thumbnailer: New Status in gstreamer1.0 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: gstreamer occasionally fails to extract a thumbnail from a video file. It's clearly a race condition because, almost all of the time, it succeeds. To reproduce: Check out the thumbnailer/devel branch at r217 and build it. Then: cd build/src/vs-thumb ./vs-thumb fd://0 ./x.jpg <../../../tests/media/testvideo.ogg Point a browser at the generated x.jpg file and check that the image was extracted correctly. Now run while ./vs-thumb fd://0 ./x.jpg <../../../tests/media/testvideo.ogg ; do :; done Within maybe a hundred iterations or so, I get: Error creating thumbnail: ThumbnailExtractor: change_state(): reading async messages: GStreamer error: negotiation problem.
