Ok. Comment 4 says that media stuff is blocking on a D-Bus call. I have tried it on krillin, mako and arale and could not observe this behavior. We did have a screenshot related bug recently that would block for some 2 seconds when making a screenshot, however that one has been fixed and for me it doesn't block/hang any more at all now.
If that still happens for you, and it always prints the log from comment 4, it probably implies something (I assume media-hub) being crashed before and then playing the screenshot sound hangs, waiting on a sync dbus reply from media hub. @Pat, Jean-Baptiste: Can you try to find out more? Does this happen all the time for you? Or only after some other steps? When in this state, can you try invoking other actions that make a sound and see if those hang? Perhaps creating a notification that plays the notification sound. Adding back media-hub as comment 4 really points towards that. ** Also affects: media-hub Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1508830 Title: Phone hangs by repeatedly refreshing the apps scope and taking screenshots Status in Canonical System Image: Confirmed Status in media-hub package in Ubuntu: New Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: current build number: 145 device name: arale channel: ubuntu-touch/rc-proposed/meizu.en last update: 2015-10-22 07:33:52 Test Case: 1.
