gnome-terminal doesn't shut down with 290.06

john b · 11-18-11, 11:23 AM

Hi,

Just updated to 290.06 on Ubuntu 11.04. Whenever I use the terminal or takes a screenshot, gnome-terminal and gnome-screenshot would not shut down even after the terminal is closed and the screenshot is taken. "gnome-terminal" or "gnome-screenshot" would still linger in the background and use up 100% of cpu. Downgraded the Nvidia driver to 285.05 and it is back to normal again. Found a posting about the same bug on the gentoo forum as well.

Please look into it, thanks.

Please generate an nvidia-bug-report when the terminal is eating up your CPU and show us the output of strace when the problem occurs:

Here is the trace for gnome-screenshot. After taking the screenshot it doesn't exit and uses up 100 cpu in the background

Edited: It seems that I can't upload the trace log or cut and paste it into the text box

Hi,

It seems that I can neither upload the trace log nor cut and paste it into the box (I did "go advance")??

You can. Go Advanced and press the Attachment button next to the Smile one (there will be a list of supported file extensions). Tar you logs (NVidia bug report and strace output) and attach here.

Hi,

I did go advanced and attached the file but it didn't show up after I hit "save". I tried to cut and paste into the text box and but wrap codes around them but when I hit save the text disappeared!

Strange. Ok, then use pastebin.com

Hi, it is here

http://pastebin.com/PMHGbsBA

This is the trace for gnome-screenshot. It seems that gnome-terminal's failure to exit is triggered by taking screenshots in the first place. After taking a screenshot "gnome-screenshot" would remain running in the background eating up 100% of cpu. If I tried to monitor that with the "top" command then the terminal doesn't shut down either. But if I just run the terminal (without taking screenshot first) then it seems to shut down ok.

I think the file is a bit too big. I got the time out error at pastebin. Even after editing out pages and pages of repeated "gettimeofday..","read" and "mprotect" it still exceeds the 500kb limit, soI have to edit out many more apparently repeated blocks to my untrained eyes. The one being pasted now is a greatly abridged version, I hoped I haven't edited out important information.

Thanks.

Upgraded to 290.10, the issue remains. After taking screenshots gnome-screenshot does not exit but is using 100% cpu in the background.
