[Bug 384062] Re: evince-thumbnailer with a 100% CPU usage
I ran into a similar issue, but found an alternate fix. If I opened my home directory in file browser, evince-thumbnailer would hit 100%, and stay that way. Additionally, no thumbnails would show up in the window. To make a long story short, I'd run some commands as root in my home directory.As a result, a few files were owned by root, with permissions that didn't give my account access. Once I chown'd everything in my home directory to be owned by myself, the problem went away. Personally, I think that evince-thumbnailer should deal with EPERM errors properly, but as usual YMMV. -- evince-thumbnailer with a 100% CPU usage https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/384062 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 384062] Re: evince-thumbnailer with a 100% CPU usage
I've encountered the same problem. I have Ubuntu 8.04 (yes, I will upgrade to 10.04 soon). The only application I was using at the time was Disk Usage Analyzer. So it seems the bug is not related to PS or PDF files as I have seen above. I've just noticed that evince-thumbnailer is taking 100% CPU usage. This is to confirm that the bug exists at least in Ubuntu 8.04 with all the upgrades until to this date (6th of June 2010). -- evince-thumbnailer with a 100% CPU usage https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/384062 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 384062] Re: evince-thumbnailer with a 100% CPU usage
I just ran into this problem, but in my case the PS file that caused it is actually corrupted and cannot be read by any reader I know of. Of course, the thumbnailer should never freeze the CPU at 100%, not even if the file is bad. I can provide the file by email, if anyone would like it.

Hi It seems that the evince-thumbnailer cannot be disabled! In gconf-editor I have checked the box under /desktop/gnome/thumbnailes/disable_all - without any effect. Furthermore, I have uninstalled evince, but after rebooting the evince-thumbnailer was still active and thumbnailing like crazy. Isn't there really any way to stop the evince-thumbnailer?

[Bug 384062] Re: evince-thumbnailer with a 100% CPU usage
Hello I have discovered a similar problem while converting PS to PDF with ps2pdf. While converting evince-thumbnailer uses about the same amount of memory as ghostscript. It seems like evince-thumbnailer tries to refresh the PDF thumbmail after each page ghostscript has converted. And with together about 90% memory usage Ubuntu nearly stalls and converting takes much longer than before. Happens with Ubuntu Karmic Koala 2.6.31-11-generic. Maybe disabling the evince-thumbnailer in gconf-editor makes this disappear - but this cannot be the solution. I have attached a screenshot of the top command. Keep up the good work!

[Bug 384062] Re: evince-thumbnailer with a 100% CPU usage
I think this problem has nothing to do with any particular PDF but with the re-thumbnailing of partially downloaded files while they are being downloaded (same for videos etc.) - maybe there's a nautilus bug report for the issue, already? Using a small bandwith download (e.g. with wget --limit-rate or scp -l ) I can at least reproduce evince-thumbnailer springing into action every second or so (although it does not use 100% CPU on my computer). -- evince-thumbnailer with a 100% CPU usage https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/384062 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
