Public bug reported: Binary package hint: pidgin
the following patch needs to be brought in from upstream to fix "Pidgin uses 100% CPU" problem on hardy: http://developer.pidgin.im/viewmtn/revision/diff/4d5c3b5ef59ce60e98576ffc7edf6ebb0960fff1/with/1d533cebad7c0dbda8ec8ebee1334d27dcae5f9c/libpurple/protocols/jabber/jabber.c it appears to cause at least the following bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/pidgin/+bug/223443 and a number of other complaints where pidgin gets stuck in a loop reading from a closed socket. my strace looks something like: poll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN}, {fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=6, events=POLLIN}, {fd=10, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=15, events=POLLIN}, {fd=20, events=POLLIN}, {fd=21, events=POLLIN}, {fd=17, events=POLLIN}, {fd=16, events=POLLIN, revents=POLLIN}], 9, 0) = 1 read(16, "", 4095) = 0 read(3, 0x812ebd4, 4096) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) gettimeofday({1222605234, 242155}, NULL) = 0 poll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN}, {fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=6, events=POLLIN}, {fd=10, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=15, events=POLLIN}, {fd=20, events=POLLIN}, {fd=21, events=POLLIN}, {fd=17, events=POLLIN}, {fd=16, events=POLLIN, revents=POLLIN}], 9, 0) = 1 read(16, "", 4095) = 0 read(3, 0x812ebd4, 4096) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) gettimeofday({1222605234, 242261}, NULL) = 0 here's a relevant discussion on pidgin developer list: http://www.nabble.com/Pidgin-freezes-when-XMPP-server-silently- disappears-td18560831.html ** Affects: pidgin (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Pidgin 2.4.1 (Hardy): proper closed connection handling patch from upstream https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/275439 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
