[Bug 218230] Re: gtk file dialog blocks on trackerd (via dbus) for 25s for users with NFS homedirs

2008-05-15 Thread Emil Sit
nossal: my hypothesis is that SQLite in trackerd is attempting to lock a file in NFS which fails and causes it to hang. However, it's clear from Ville's report and yours that perhaps other things may be at fault. Can you re-install the tracker packages, relogin (to restart all trackerd in a clea

Ah, it does appear that trackerd is attempting to do some SQLite locking on a file that is (in my case) on an NFS home directory. It repeatedly fails (fcntl returns EAGAIN), and it seems that trackerd is spinning there and thus not responding to dbus RPCs. One work-around (besides 'sudo apt-get

Given the number of packages affected and the reproduction steps, it seems most likely to be a problem with gtk. ** Changed in: gtk+2.0 (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: None => gtk+2.0 Status: New => Confirmed -- gnome or gtk file dialog is terribly slow https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/218230

It'd be useful to determine if this is X40 specific ... does anyone not on an X40 see this error? I don't know enough about gnome-power-manager to offer much other debugging suggestions. ** Changed in: gnome-power-manager (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- [hardy] resume displays "Poli

Having some on-screen display update of volume change would definitely be nice. I can confirm that on an X40 (2371GHU) running Hardy Beta+updates, the volume keys cause updates in /proc/acpi/ibm/volume but no change on the volume applet. I can't seem to get any keycodes out of the volume or Thin
