Hi all,
I'm still working on my problem with hundreds of zombie dbus-daemons. I
guess it isn't that common of an issue.
After some investigation, I have found that the main culprit seems to be
konsole(1). I mostly use my system in command-line mode and am
constantly creating and killing konsoles for various jobs.
For some reason, creating a konsole forks a dbus-daemon (like this
output from ps -ef):
walker 12859 1 0 Jul08 ? 00:00:00
/bin/dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 5 --print-address 7 --session
When the konsole terminal is killed, the daemon never goes away. My
system performance gradually goes downhill and eventually I get a "no
more system file descriptor" error as the number of daemons pile up.
Any suggestions for how to debug or fix this? Killing the dbus-daemons
locks the window system. Should I take off the fork option in the dbus
config file? Is there some way I can start konsoles so that
they do a better job of reaping dbus-daemons?
kind regards
