I have discovered a way to increase the probability this will happen: System > Preferences > Sound; Sounds tab: Click arbitrary Play buttons quickly. Sometimes nothing will happen but a bunch of sounds playing, but occasionally the sound applet will freeze, and in turn, ESD.
Another strange factor in this is a high connection count. The more connections you have open, the better chance this will happen. Easy way to try this: BitTorrent with 100+ connections. (This still happens with a lower connection count, however it doesn't seem to be as often. May just be a coincidence.) -- [gutsy] esd makes diverse gnome apps freeze https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/125308 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
