Yeah, I do lots of kdesu whoami to test kdesu, and it does it about 1 on 10 times. I agree with Anton_K that this is a kdesu problem.
Each time kdesu does it to me, it leave in the process tree it's marks: ps -eH ... 5083 ? 00:00:31 konsole 5120 pts/1 00:00:01 bash 9249 pts/1 00:00:00 kdesu 9252 pts/3 00:00:00 kdesu_stub 9255 pts/5 00:00:00 sudo (actually I had ask kdesu whoami here) ... 6656 ? 00:00:00 kdesu_stub 6663 ? 00:00:00 sh 6664 ? 00:00:10 kcmshell (I think when I asked kdesu kcmshell mountconfig) So I'll move this bug to kdesu, which is in kdebase package. ** Changed in: adept (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: adept => kdebase ** Summary changed: - Adept Fails to Start + kdesu often hang while starting programs -- kdesu often hang while starting programs https://launchpad.net/bugs/55053 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
