Running Kubuntu Dapper up to date as of 2006-04-13, I see gam_server constantly
at 15% CPU usage and echoing a lot of messages into ~/.xsession-errors (more
than once a second):
Failed to process 26 bytes from server
invalid length 24902
invalid length 24902
invalid length 24902
invalid length 24902
.... many many times ... and then:
end from FAM server connection
invalid length 24902
invalid length 24902
invalid length 24902
invalid length 24902
invalid length 24902
... many many times
Funnily enough, after a reboot I was not able to reproduce it (using a VFAT
storage device, browsing pictures, whatever...). But then doing nothing while
writing this bug report (except for a look at "less ~/.xsession-errors")
suddenly gam_server went mad again. I don't know, if accessing
~/.xsession-errors could cause this problem, sounds too weird.
I followed the debugging instructions and sent gam_server a SIGUSR2, which
produced a big file in /tmp, of which I will attach a few hundred lines, which
seem to repeat afterwards. maybe it is of help to track this annoying bug.
Btw... There seem to be a few duplicates of this: #30868, #31329, #3814
