Public bug reported: Gnome sessions do not shutdown cleanly. Lots of processes stay running after logout. This might be acceptable on a one user system, but it brings my LTSP systems down on its knees after some time.
Also processes which don't have anything to do with gnome stay running and actually run insane consuming most of the CPU and can not be killed unless with kill -9. Firefox is one candidate for this behaviour, which of course prevents my users from using it on the next login. Attached is a ps axu from my LTSP server. The only users who are actually logged in are lebig, elias and payra. The rest (including those showing an UID instead of the username) are left over processes. This makes LTSP a nightmare! This is from a clean Hardy installation. Please FIX this! By the way, I have turned off evolution-alarm-notify, trackerd and the tracker applet for all users by default, as they produce even more open processes. Evolution is simply a mess! I can not stress enough of how much importance that is! This affects all LTSP installations, therefore a whole segment of the Ubuntu audience. ** Affects: meta-gnome2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Lots of processes stay running after logout https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/234322 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
