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 -- Rick Walker -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
