As an experiment, I added a separate thread to vs-thumb that runs a timer. When the timer fires (after 10 seconds), the thread calls _exit().
When I have one of these stuck vs-thumb processes that is spinning, I see the timer firing. However, _exit() does not terminate the process immediately. I'm seeing the same 30-second delay that I get after SIGKILL. Note that this doesn't happen all the time. Sometimes, the _exit() call works (just as sometimes, the SIGKILL works). But, around 20% of the time, I get this 30-second delay before the process finally exits. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1466273 Title: gstreamer fails intermittently To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thumbnailer/+bug/1466273/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
