[Bug 773564] Re: compiz occasionally hangs with 100% cpu usage (inotify plugin infinite loop)
I have this problem since last week, 64Bit Ubuntu 11.10. I don't know where it came from, but Ubuntu worked without this problem for more then one year. compiz --replace etc is not working for me. Everytime I used my mouse or keyboard within compiz , the load of the compiz process is 100% After the bug happened and nothing of the suggestions helped I updated Ubuntu to 12.04 LTS by command line, but after that the problem still exists. Later this week I expect to receive a SSD drive, after that I am going to install 12.04 from scratch on that new drive, and made a copy of my files on the current HDD.

I'm no expert but i had some of the same .xsession-errors entries as in post #24 including: WARN 2011-10-19 09:17:27 unity.iconloader IconLoader.cpp:509 Unable to load contents of file:///usr/share/icons/unity-icon-theme/places/svg/category-installed.svg: Error opening file: No such file or directory WARN 2011-10-19 09:17:27 unity.iconloader IconLoader.cpp:509 Unable to load contents of file:///usr/share/icons/unity-icon-theme/places/svg/category-available.svg: Error opening file: No such file or directory When i did in a terminal: ls /usr/share/icons/unity-icon-theme/places/svg/ it showed that there where group-installed and group-available instead of category-installed and category-available. So i made an assumption that there had been a change in the code between 11.04 and 11,10 in the naming these and simply created simlinks ie: sudo ln -s /usr/share/icons/unity-icon-theme/places/svg/group-installed.svg /usr/share/icons/unity-icon-theme/places/svg/category-installed.svg sudo ln -s /usr/share/icons/unity-icon-theme/places/svg/group-available.svg /usr/share/icons/unity-icon-theme/places/svg/category-available.svg When i did that many more .desktop items appeared in my /usr/share/applications file that need to be in place before that application icon will appear in the unity launch bar. PLEASE NOTE: I DO NOT KNOW IF I HAVE CREATED ANY OTHER PROBLEMS DOING THIS but my upgrade of unity seemed to work better after this. I also have the dbus errors in .xsession-errors log in post #24 but i think that may be related to ubuntu one polkits or something like that - haven't figured that out yet. As far as the high cpu load - i couldn't stop my upgrade from freezing until i stopped the nautilus file manager from controlling the desktop. That means you can't use nautilus to place icons on the desktop but unity has its own method of doing that. Its difficult to speculate what the specific problems are without looking at the .xsession-error log entries which is very handy for graphical issues. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/773564 Title: compiz occasionally hangs with 100% cpu usage (inotify plugin infinite loop) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/773564/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 773564] Re: compiz occasionally hangs with 100% cpu usage (inotify plugin infinite loop)
Davor, Neil, thanks for your responses, I'm still looking for the best way to deal with this inconveneance. Atm. I'm starting a terminal and I run the command unity --reset. This command does not finish normally, I have to press CTRLC to get a command prompt. Now, the CPU load drops to normal values, but at this point I have no more window decorations, and the terminal window is no longer responding to keyboard input. Now in order to get correct window display I'm proceeding as follows: In the terminal window, I select some output text with the mouse, right-click and select the menu option Close Window. Then I click Dash - Home, I press AltF2, and I run the command metacity --replace. After that everything is fine. I also tried running unity --reset in a bash script, but that did not work (!). The essential step seems to be sending CTRLC to the proper process (which obviously is not bash).

[Bug 773564] Re: compiz occasionally hangs with 100% cpu usage (inotify plugin infinite loop)
I have the same issue as pesmontis although it does not always happen after login. Amarok seems to trigger it but, after a certain time. But the symptoms are the same, compiz process at high CPU%, killing it (-9 works, -15 doesn't) releases cpu but unity panel is gone. Terminal window does not receive focus. Sometimes the CPU load of Amarok and Compiz will be 50-50%, and once killing the Amarok process resulted in compiz dying as well. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/773564 Title: compiz occasionally hangs with 100% cpu usage (inotify plugin infinite loop) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/773564/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Back on Maverick I experienced similar hangs related to vmware player, but back then I could ssh in and just kill the player to fix the problem. I since switched to virtualbox and the hangs no longer occurred until I upgrated to Natty, and it does not appear to be linked to any particular program.

I believe I have encountered this bug too - my system seemingly hung, but the mouse still responded. I logged into a new shell using Alt-F2 and saw that the compiz process was running at around 100% CPU usage. I didn't really know what to do next, so I took a chance and tried sending a kill -9 message to the compiz process, and to my joy when I tabbed back to my desktop using Alt-F7 it had all come back to life again (and compiz seemed to have restarted too).
