https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=249301 Summary: hundreds of dead /usr/lib64/beagle/IndexHelper.exe processes make X unusable Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: trenn@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Symptom: You cannot start any X based application any more: Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Maximum number of clients reached Reason: Hundreds of /usr/lib64/beagle/IndexHelper.exe processes. Each of them tries to open a connection(socket) to the X server: ps aux |grep -c IndexHelper 460 X seem to only allow 255 (or near this value) connections. The /usr/lib64/beagle/IndexHelper.exe processes seem to all get stuck at when trying to connect to (another, not the sockect to X) socket: strace -p 1856 Process 1856 attached - interrupt to quit connect(16, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/tmp/beagle-trenn-337fb988-32c4-440b-af22-b8c18c8a816f/socket-helper"}, 71 It's possible that this is related to another error (/var/log/warn)?: Feb 27 02:01:44 d36 zmd: ServiceManager (ERROR): Service refresh failed for '20070217-103503': Failed to parse XML metadata: Key verification for '/content (dir:///mounts/dist/10.2-x86_64)' failed 'SuSE Package Signing Key ' (A84EDAE89C800ACA) Feb 27 02:31:46 d36 zmd: ServiceManager (ERROR): Service refresh failed for '20070217-103503': Failed to parse XML metadata: Key verification for '/content (dir:///mounts/dist/10.2-x86_64)' failed 'SuSE Package Signing Key ' (A84EDAE89C800ACA) Feb 27 03:01:49 d36 zmd: ServiceManager (ERROR): Service refresh failed for '20070217-103503': Failed to parse XML metadata: Key verification for '/content (dir:///mounts/dist/10.2-x86_64)' failed 'SuSE Package Signing Key ' (A84EDAE89C800ACA) Feb 27 03:01:49 d36 zmd: ServiceManager (ERROR): Maximum number of retry attempts reached for adding service 'dir:///mounts/dist/10.2-x86_64?alias=20070217-103503' Feb 27 04:01:35 d36 zmd: ShutdownManager (WARN): Preparing to sleep...

Even (not sure) this is only an error case when it stucks (if not, this is a blocker...), the application still must exit gracefully and not mess up the whole X-server. I will now kill these applications. Not sure whether I am still able to reproduce this then. I try to let some of the beagle threads open. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
