Disk Sleep + Zombie = Frustration!

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Ten years ago I was told that one of the strengths of Linux was that if an 
application went down it didn't take other processes with it.  Sadly this no 
longer seems to be true.

Today I had used GIMP to make a scan of 200MB.  When I tried to save it it 
started, but then went into Disk Sleep.  XSane and, believe it or not, Libre 
Office Calc became zombies, responding to nothing that I could find in System 
Monitor.  Eventually, remember previous episodes, I asked for a system 
restart.  The shutdown began, then hung, leaving me with no option but to 
power down.

I know these are not KDE applications, but tracing the parentage through 
System Monitor, it seems to go back to kdeinit (from memory - possibly 
inaccurate).

This isn't the first such episode I've seen, though it's the worst for a 
while.  It's exceedingly frustrating!
