Same problem for me: intrepid x86_64 (up-to-date from today) after 2 days up. Never happened before, even with longer uptimes. I confirm the problem seems to be related to this funky poll() on thousands of files. And, err, well, I don't have thousands of windows showing up on my desktop.
Looking at strace on x-session-manager shows the "too many open files" error, and an -EAGAIN on some read. lsof gave 1101 instances of opened ICE sockets. Amarok was running. It helped killing it but was not enough. At some point, I had to kill pidgin too, then firefox. Doing 'sysctl -w fs.file- max=1000000' didn't help. Chose to reboot the machine. -- x-session manager eats 100% CPU, nautilus won't start, applications won't start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107950 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
