This problem is one that requires me to shutdown all browser sessions before being able to restart the browser without it immediately beginning it's never ending blank page looping. Although I still don't know why this is happening I have made an effort to better understand and sometimes anticipate it so that I can close critical page processing, when possible, before the looping begins which at that point leaves few options but to terminate all browser sessions.
To anticipate this behavior I start a never ending "top" session. Then when normal browser responsiveness stops, I pop over and watch top statistics which generally run at less than 5% cpu utilization. Then when it cycles upwards very rapidly to anywhere between 40% and 100% cpu utility, I know I have a problem. If I'm quick, I can sometimes get to browser windows that haven't begun cycling though the odds are against me. Something I hadn't noticed before is that the successful download window opens and contains the file which was supposed to have been opened. such as: index.php, etc. It is as though the browser thinks it should save the file rather than open it. It's not clear to me whether this behavior comes as a result of the looping or whether it is somehow connected with the cause. -- Periodic Never Ending Blank Page Generation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/175016 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
