I can reproduce this now with kde 4 and kdesu in intrepid, here is what the processes look like:
# ps avf 1987 pts/1 Ss 0:00 0 772 21427 5080 0.1 bash 12083 pts/1 Sl+ 0:00 225 85 203082 20828 0.5 \_ kdesudo synaptic 12090 pts/1 S+ 0:09 3 885 236634 54436 1.3 \_ synaptic 12101 pts/1 S+ 0:00 0 10 23669 972 0.0 \_ gnome-pty-helper # strace -p 12101 Process 12101 attached - interrupt to quit read(0, <hang> # ls -l /proc/12101/fd/0 lrwx------ 1 root root 64 2008-08-14 10:13 /proc/12101/fd/0 -> socket:[60328] COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME gnome-pty 12101 root 0u unix 0xffff8100cc123440 60328 socket gnome-pty 12101 root 1u unix 0xffff8100cc123440 60328 socket Does that match what you see? Interessting enough, on a normal run just with sudo I also see the following process tree: 11987 pts/1 Ss 0:00 0 772 21427 5080 0.1 bash 12485 pts/1 S+ 0:08 188 885 221062 51644 1.2 \_ synaptic 12519 pts/1 S+ 0:00 0 10 23669 968 0.0 \_ gnome-pty-helper with : # strace -p 12519 Process 12519 attached - interrupt to quit read(0, <hang> So that is most likely a red-herring. I suspect its something to do with "SIGCHLD". Maybe kdesudo is eating that and synaptic/vte is not seeing it? ** Summary changed: - gnome-app-install - "ldconfig deferred processing now taking place" does not end + [kde4] synaptic does get when dpkg terminates when run with kdesudo -- [kde4] synaptic does get when dpkg terminates when run with kdesudo https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/156041 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
