High CPU usage

Thanks for your bug. What version of Ubuntu do you use? Does it depends of the format of the file you download? Could you get a backtrace with nautilus-dbg installed when that happens, using gdb:
- gdb -p $(pidof nautilus)
(gdb) thread apply all bt

I'm using edgy.
Nautilus 2.15.90.
Happens regardless of file being downloaded.

The backtrace:

I'm able to reproduce this using slow's instruction.

$ cd /tmp
$ nautilus .
$ wget http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-8774/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8774-pkg1.run

Hit refresh button on nautilus view couple of times and cpu usage goes high.

I'm also seeing this. I still use Ubuntu Dapper on this machine but I have compiled nautilus 2.16 from source.

On Edgy, I am also seeing this with AVI's. To reproduce, use Acidrip to rip something to an AVI (default settings are fine, 1-pass is faster). Have Nautilus go into the directory where the AVI is being outputted. Press refresh a few times, then close the nautilus window, then close acidrip. Now nautilus is stuck at 100% CPU.

Doing a backtrace, I get:

A big "me too" on this one.

It's a shame; its the only thing about Edgy that I'd call a showstopper. Everything else is working swimmingly for me.

I'm experiencing the same problem using Thoggen under Edgy.

It isn't necessary to hit refresh to trigger this. Simply opening nautilus to a directory containing a file that is being updated, and then immediately closing the nautilus window or changing to anther directory (like home) does the same thing... the CPU usage will shoot up to near 100% and will stay there till the process is killed (with "killall nautilus" or the like).

I confirm this on a current Edgy (as of 2006-10-21), with nautilus 2.16.1-0ubuntu3. This is on AMD64 but in 32bit mode. This happens to me when downloading AVIs or ISOs, with Firefox or wget, i.e. basically any time there is a constantly growing file.

I don't know if this can help, but I attach the first 50 lines of an "strace $(pidof nautilus)" after the problem occured.

Confirmed here too, running Edgy amd64.

Have had this problem for a while now :/

Confirmed here too.
Running Edgy i386
While downloading a file with the default bittorrent manager,
clicking (once) on the incomplete file in Nautilus in the directory causes 100% cpu usage on one core - am running on a core duo here.

I got this bug too
running edgy on a centrino inspiron 8600c

this happen when opening a folder with video in it.

I don't think there's much of a need to echo confirmations... It's pretty consistently reproducible and I've experienced this in all the GNOME 2.16's I've tried.

Oh, i have seen this since Edgy Eft Beta; just by pluging my digital photo camera, importing a couple of pics and then turning off the camera triggers it. To fix, i simply kill the nautilus process and remember next time when importing pictures not to turn off the camera but wait whatever timeout exists...

not a nautilus issue

fixed upstream

I'll look at backporting that to edgy

I've uploaded i386 packages with the patch to http://people.ubuntu.com/~seb128/debug/54684/ if somebody wants to test and comment on whether it fixes the bug for him too, they work fine for me

Fixes the problem for me! Requires a killall nautilus to take effect after installing, but I can no longer reproduce this bug :). Thank you so much!

The fix works for me too. Thanks Sebastien.

Fixes the issue here aswell =) Thanks seb.

Any chance of an x86_64 deb please? This is driving me bonkers!

Many thanks!

This upload fixes the issue:

 gnome-vfs2 (2.16.2-0ubuntu1) feisty; urgency=low
 .
   * New upstream version:
     - Add a "--replace" commandline argument to gnome-vfs-daemon
       to replace the current daemon. (Mostly for debugging use)
     - Make translations work in gnome-vfs-daemon
     - Handle IPv6 addresses when creating dav uris (DNS-SD)
     - Don't crash if there is no session dbus
     - Support sun ssh server
     - Don't fail getting selinux context
     - Allow operations on file handles that were created in another
       DaemonConnection. (This fixes e.g. smb browsing) (Ubuntu: #60277)
     - Fixes to gnome_vfs_xfer and monitoring (Ubuntu: #54684)
   * debian/patches/24_daemon_set_locale.patch:
     - fixed with the new version
   * debian/patches/90_from_cvs_fix_exit_handler_ordering.patch:
     - patch from CVS, possible fix for an ekiga crashing on closing

Any chances that this will be officially fixed in edgy? Or do I have to get the packages manually?

Maybe you could read the comments on a bug before adding a new one? That question has already been asked and there is a reply to it, extra comments on the same topic only create extra bug load for the maintainer who doesn't work on fixing the bug while ready that new comment

hmm, weird,
I have same problem and when I tried to install the patches I got broken dependencies warning and it was suggested to execute 'apt-get install -f' to fix it but when I tried that I got this

>Maybe you could read the comments on a bug before adding a new one?

Well Sebastian, I too am asking the same question as Mr. Breier because I don't see an obvious answer in the posts.

Do you happen to know when will this patch be integrated into the official edgy distro?

The release notes for the libgnomevfs2 that is installed on my edgy system does not mention your fixes and it is up to date according to Synaptic. If the answer is in the posts somewhere and I somehow missed it, could you humor me and answer the question anyways?

https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/edgy/+source/gnome-vfs2/+bug/54684/comments/17 approved for edgy-proposed.

OK for -proposed

Package uploaded

Accepted into edgy-proposed. Please contact the QA team via Simon Law so that they can verify that this bug has been fixed and that there are no regressions.

I have the same problem a Jad. I get broken dependencies error. I ran sudo apt-get install -f and it totally killed my installation. I had to reinstall Ubuntu completely, and on reinstalling libgnomevfs2-common_2.16.1-0ubuntu3_all.deb i got the same problem again. How do i fix this?

did you try to install from edgy-proposed?

I installed the ones in this page
http://people.ubuntu.com/~seb128/debug/54684/. The other ones gave me source code and i do not know what to do with that. And to be more precise it is the package.

ooops, hit the save changes button too early, this is the package that give me problems

      libgnomevfs2-common_2.16.1-0ubuntu3_all.deb

those packages were just for testing, upgrade with the edgy-proposed version, that should be easier

This should get you upgraded from a shell. You must reboot to get changes (or restart gnome/X?)...haven't tested non-reboot scenario...

why not using edgy-proposed which is an official apt source?

Hi

will those patches enter edgy-updates once the QA team is happy with them?

I am sorry Sebastien, I have looked everywhere in this page but haven't found package....where is it?

if the QA team is happy with them and people tries the edgy-proposed
update and confirm it works fine they will be uploaded to edgy-updates
then

edgy-proposed:
"deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy-proposed main restricted
universe multiverse" to your sources.list

Just updated...
libgnomevfs2-0
libgnomevfs2-common
libgnomevfs2-extra
libgnomevfs2-bin

and it appears to be fixed! Excellent work, a big thank you to everyone concerned :o)

OT: where can I find out what's fixed/new with the other packages in edgy-proposed? I don't want update anything else unless I have a reason to.

Many thanks once again ... Paul

Read the edgy-changes list or try to dist-upgrade with that source
listed and see what is going to be updated. If you don't want to use it
for something else you should probably comment it

Tested and ready for -updates on the 28th.

fixed uploaded to edgy-updates now

I'm running Edgy and I have the edgy-updates source in my sources.list, but 'aptitude changelog gnome-vfs2' doesn't show this fix as being there. What am I missing?

I've tried reloading with Synaptic and there are no new packages. When I added edgy-proposed I saw the libgnome-vfs packages there, is it still not in edgy?

Upload checked, confirmed, and accepted to -updates.

I have this problem as well. I downloaded all the patches and got them installed and my CPU still goes up to 100% and stays there until reboot. I can reproduce this problem by just open Firefox, OpenGL apps, and a few other programs. Any other ideas?

I do not know if this is the correct place to post this, but to answer BJizzle's question, it might help. I have been having a weird problem with my pc and it is that all my apps just went to sleep, nothing ran, impossible to do anything but surf the web with firefox...until i installed beryl...i don't have to be running it, just have it installed. why? i don't know but it works for me

BJizzle: If you're not using Nautilus to get high CPU usage, your problems have nothing to do with this bug. You should open a new bug for it.

juantovar: Sorry to say, but this is the wrong place. You might want to check ubuntuforums.org or #ubuntu on FreeNode (IRC) if you want to analze the problem, then post bug new reports when you need to. Or just don't, as your solution seems to work quite well for you. ;)

I did a successful sru-verifcation for this bug. I verified that "reload" a couple of times triggers the problem. After applying the update I was not able to trigger the problem anymore.

I mark this verification-done now.
