[Bug 200834] Re: unkillable defunct program with popup menu disables all input
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Intrepid Ibex. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again and we appreciate your help. -- unkillable defunct program with popup menu disables all input https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/200834 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

What, specifically, would you like me to do? Simply boot the latest Intrepid Live CD and attempt to reproduce the bug? -- unkillable defunct program with popup menu disables all input https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/200834 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 200834] Re: unkillable defunct program with popup menu disables all input
There are two steps to reproduce this. The first is to find a way to make a GTK program block on I/O. This most often happens to me when I am using a media player (specifically Quod Libet) to access my music collection over sshfs (the sftp fuse filesystem). If the network is disconnected unexpectedly, then any program that subsequently tries to access a file on an sshfs filesystem blocks indefinitely. Once you do that, it only remains to have open the sort of window that closes when you click outside of it. (Are these called transient?) Examples include volume sliders and dropdown menus. Then, have the program block on I/O while this window is open. For example, start playing a song over sshfs, open a dropdown menu, and then unplug the ethernet cord or stop the sshd on the server or otherwise cause an unexpected disruption. Since these kind of windows monopolize all input until they are closed, and since they cannot use any input while the program blocks on I/O, all further input has no effect, and the X server must be restarted. (This implies that the X shortcuts, like ctrl-alt- backspace, ctrl-alt-F1, etc., still work.) Note that the X server does not freeze. Other programs continue working as normal; only input is disabled. I wonder if you could make a program that artificially blocks on I/O just to test this, like maybe read from a FIFO to which nothing is ever written? -- unkillable defunct program with popup menu disables all input https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/200834 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
