[Bug 69949] Re: SystemToolsBackends seems to be in busy loop
This is happening to me too with Hardy. Very annoying thing, when using network-admin to configure an interface (wireless), two instances of SystemToolsBackend.pl get executed and one of them seems to enter a busy loop for about one minute, and configuration settings don't seem to apply completely, at least during that period. While configuring the interface from command line with iwconfig and/or ifup/down, none of this happens. I would scrap the whole system-tools- backend stuff where it not for the nice configuration interface depending on it. -- SystemToolsBackends seems to be in busy loop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/69949 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

Marking unconfirmed, that works fine for me. Somebody having the problem should probably forward it upstream ** Changed in: system-tools-backends (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Low Status: Needs Info = Unconfirmed ** Also affects: system-tools-backends (upstream) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- SystemToolsBackends seems to be in busy loop https://launchpad.net/bugs/69949 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 69949] Re: SystemToolsBackends seems to be in busy loop
Thank you for your bug. What do you call a busy loop? How do you notice it? Are you speaking about network-manager or network-admin? Maybe you could stop the running instance and restart one by running sudo /usr/share/system-tools-backends-2.0/scripts/SystemToolsBackends.pl -n --report and note what it's doing? ** Changed in: system-tools-backends (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) = Ubuntu Desktop Bugs Status: Unconfirmed = Needs Info -- SystemToolsBackends seems to be in busy loop https://launchpad.net/bugs/69949 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 69949] Re: SystemToolsBackends seems to be in busy loop
Hi, after re-starting the above-cited script I get the enclosed report (a bit lengthy :-). Then I try to start network-admin again from the gnome system administration desktop menu (network-manager version = 0.6.3-2ubuntu6), which results in a high cpu activity caued by the process executing the SystemToolsBackends script. Such situations are typically caued by an errorneous program executing a never-ending loop without any io activity, i.e. doing nothing meaningful. That's what is normally called a busy loop. By contrast, executing network-admin without the SystemToolsBackends script started results in the exspected behavior. Cheers, Wingard.
