Package: blender Version: 2.45-5+b1 Severity: normal Occasionally, blender enters a select() with a NULL timeout, waiting for events from the X server. If this happens when it's inactive for a prolonged time, autosaves get "queued up" and are processed at once when the select finishes (due to blender getting an event). If it has been frozen for several days, the hundreds of autosaves will take a significant time.
There seems to be a good amount of variation in what series of events cause this bug to appear and what don't. Changing workspaces appears to be the most reliable way to see it. In my opinion, the problem is not in the infinite-timeout select but in the fact that blender seems to increment the next autosave time instead of setting it to current time plus interval. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.25-rc8 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages blender depends on: ii gettext [libgettextpo0 0.17-3 GNU Internationalization utilities ii libavcodec51 3:20080531-0.2 library to encode decode multimedi ii libavformat52 3:20080531-0.2 ffmpeg file format library ii libavutil49 3:20080531-0.2 avutil shared libraries ii libc6 2.7-12 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdc1394-13 1.1.0-5 high level programming interface f ii libfreetype6 2.3.5-1+b1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.3.1-2 GCC support library ii libgl1-mesa-glx [libgl 7.0.3-2 A free implementation of the OpenG ii libglu1-mesa [libglu1] 7.0.3-2 The OpenGL utility library (GLU) ii libgsm1 1.0.12-1 Shared libraries for GSM speech co ii libilmbase6 1.0.1-2+nmu1 several utility libraries from ILM ii libjpeg62 6b-14 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libogg0 1.1.3-4 Ogg Bitstream Library ii libopenexr6 1.6.1-3 runtime files for the OpenEXR imag ii libpng12-0 1.2.27-1 PNG library - runtime ii libraw1394-8 1.3.0-4 library for direct access to IEEE ii libsdl1.2debian 1.2.13-2 Simple DirectMedia Layer ii libstdc++6 4.3.1-2 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libtheora0 1.0~beta3-1 The Theora Video Compression Codec ii libvorbis0a 1.2.0.dfsg-3.1 The Vorbis General Audio Compressi ii libvorbisenc2 1.2.0.dfsg-3.1 The Vorbis General Audio Compressi ii libx11-6 2:1.1.4-2 X11 client-side library ii libxi6 2:1.1.3-1 X11 Input extension library ii python 2.5.2-1 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-support 0.8.1 automated rebuilding support for P ii python2.5 2.5.2-6 An interactive high-level object-o ii ttf-dejavu 2.25-1 Metapackage to pull in ttf-dejavu- ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime blender recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
