For completeness, here are Jean-Baptiste's findings: "I reproduce the issue by following the "fd leak" lead with the following test case:
1. Open 2 apps 2. Switch from the app scope to app1 3. Switch from app1 to the app scope 4. Switch from the app scope to app2 5 lock the screen (optional but it leaks even more fd) At the same time monitor the number of file descriptors used by unity8: $ watch -n1 "ls /proc/$(pidof unity8)/fdinfo/| wc -l " After a while unity8 runs out of fd and the system hangs. Eventually unity8 will restart a moment later." -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1495871 Title: unity8 leaks file descriptors To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity8/+bug/1495871/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
