I can confirm this bug with a fully updated Hardy as of this moment. It applies to both the Hardy version of Wine and to version 1.0-rc1. Ies4linux is version 2.99.0.1. The bug also applies to all versions of Internet explorer that ies4linux offers.
Symptoms: 1) When ie6 is started, CPU usage goes to about 76% for both the wineserver and IEXPLORE.EXE processes (two cores). It does not matter what IE is doing; going to "about:blank" leaves the CPU usage the same. 2) When I exit IE, the call to wine does not terminate. IEXPLORE.EXE stops using CPU, but instead wineserver goes to 100% CPU usage. The processes wineserver, explorer.exe and IEXPLORE.EXE remain. At this point it is not possible to start a new IE. 3) After doing wineserver -k (with the proper WINEPREFIX), the wineserver terminates, but leaves explorer.exe and IEXPLORE.EXE running, the latter defunct. The call to wine still has not returned. At this point a new IE can be started. 4) It is possible to kill off the two remaining processes, after which everything is fine and the call to wine returns. -- [Hardy] Wine 100% cpu usage https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/205895 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
