Bug 95137 – gnome-system-monitor-2.10.1 does not list "Uninterruptible" processes as "Running"

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Neil Gierman 2005-06-05 10:05:16 UTC]

In the process table of gnome-system-monitor, if you select "Active" processes
from the filter box, it only shows proccesses that are in the "Running" state.
It does not list processes that are in the "Uninterruptible" state (which IMHO
is still Active)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start gnome-system-monitor
2. Select "Active Processes" from the "Show" filter
3. Start a process that is in the "Uninterruptible" state

Actual Results:  
The process in the Uninterruptible does not list in the Active filter

Expected Results:  
Since an Uninterruptible process is technically Active, it should show up in the
Active Processes filter

correct me if i'm wrong, but uninterruptable processes are waiting, not running.

[Comment 3 Neil Gierman 2005-06-05 10:58:44 UTC]

Well in my particular case my Uninteruptible process was active. Dunno for sure
thou.

[Comment 4 Daniel Gryniewicz (RETIRED) 2005-09-09 19:22:48 UTC]

The two wait states are TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE and TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE.  Both are
wait states, not active.
