today i wanted to do the strace thing, but while i searched for the bug report and your reply, the following things happened:
1. after 2..3 minutes the process update-notifier went back to normal cpu usage 2. in the panel, the update-notifier icon appeared but was greyed out, saying that a package manager was running - however - no package manager window appeared on any of the desktops 3. after another 1..2 minutes, the panel icon turned orange and the message "new updates available" appeared nevertheless, after (1) i did the strace on the process, the output is attached. i wanted to reproduce the high cpu load, ignored the update-notifier message and restarted the laptop. about a minute after startup, the orange update-notifier icon + message appeared in the panel as it is supposed to happen. i did reproduce this behaviour 4 times. however, in .xsession-errors i found "** (update-notifier:5404): WARNING **: already running?". although the last times the high cpu usage persisted, i will try to be quicker tomorrow and get the strace during that time. ** Attachment added: "strace.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13353059/strace.txt -- update-notifier stalls/crashes on Xubuntu 8.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/214510 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
