Description Ira Moss 2012-03-22 00:20:13 UTC
A description of this bug can best be found in bug id 375615, however the cause of it appears for me to be related to opengl and nvidia.

if I have nvidia as my openGl interface, then when running many gnome gtk+2 applications... upon exit, my CPU spikes to 100%, and a top/ps system-monitor yields that the process is still running (though, no visable appearance) 

gnome-terminal and gnome-screenshot are easy ones to duplicate the problem.

Running with:  
Linux 3.2.1-gentoo-r2 x86_64
nvidia-drivers-295.20-r1


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.eselect opengl set nvidia
2./etc/init.d/xdm stop
3./etc/init.d/xdm start
4. Login (gdm)
5. Fire up gnome-terminal
6. exit gnome terminal
7. Examine system-monitor or top, and find (in my case 1 of 4) cpu's spiked at 100%  (you'll notice the process is still running)
8. Kill PID, and process drops back down
9. eselect opengl set xorg-x11
10. Repeat steps 2 - 6
11. System back to normal
Actual Results:  
100% CPU, and process still running after exit.

Expected Results:  
normal CPU, and process to have exited.

Reopening; this bug seems to be somewhat different from bug #398723 after all (see comments in #398723).

My drivers were updated yesterday to nvidia-drivers-295.20-r1 from the previous stable version and this bug showed up.  I can confirm that switching to xorg's opengl and restarting X (I run startx from a console) solves the problem.

My other observations when using nvidia's opengl are,

1. A single gnome-terminal seems to be spawned all on its own.
2. A Bash (Zombie) process is associated with each running gnome-terminal (no gnome-terminal actually running on the desktop).
3. Every gnome-terminal I start fails to exit properly and consumes 96% to 110% of my CPU's.

I run several gnome-terminals at the same time to login and do maintenance on other systems on my network every couple of days.  This morning 2 CPU's were maxed and 2 were being used heavily.  The system monitor showed 2 gnome-terminals running and 2 Bash Zombies.

The previous stable version of nvidia-drivers did not appear to have this problem.

Maybe this is being shown under Gentoo because we are applying and old patch to launch gnome-terminal as login shell by default even if upstream (and other distributions) disables it:

Comment 6 Tango 2012-03-22 22:21:26 UTC
More information

Yesterday I also added the pulseaudio use flag in anticipation of Gnome3 becoming stable and ran emerge -avNuD world to pull in the required packages.  I had resisted using pulseaudio before as it just did not function all that well with my system and hardware. So to try and pin-point the cause of this problem I did some more testing.

1. Mask x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-295.20-r1.
2. Revert back to the last stable nvidia-drivers.
3. Log out and reset nvidia and opengl to nvidia.
4. Restart X and start a gnome-terminal.
5. Exit the gnome-terminal.

Problem continued to be present (gnome-terminal fails to exit properly)

Next Step
1. Disable pulseaudio use flag.
2. Emerge -avNuD world.
3. Emerge -C all packages pulled in by pulseaudio and kill all related process.
4. Logout and restart X.
5. Started a gnome-terminal and exited the terminal.

Problem solved as gnome-terminal exited properly.

Next Step
1. Unmasked x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-295.20-r1 and reinstall them.
2. Log out and reset nvidia and opengl to nvidia.
3. Restart X and start a gnome-terminal.
4. Exit the gnome-terminal (gnome-terminal continues to exit properly).

So this appears to be a problem related to pulseaudio and nvidia opengl.

Hmm, that is interesting.  Though, I have not seen the same results... in that I too (because of stablization) upgraded yesterday to the 295 rev of the nvidia drivers... However... I have had this problem with the 290 rev for quite some time.  It wasn't until recently when I found that my opengl was not using xorg-x11 (funny... blender will really not even start right without opengl :-)  ) that I realized this problem.  Now I'm confused... In that you didn't see this problem with the 290 drivers and opengl enabled... but I did?

i.e.   I have had the problem with both 290 and 295

Tango, just to help narrow this down too...What does your profile look like?

i.e. eselect list profile?

I ask because, yes... I too had not wanted to run puslseaudio for quite sometime, but... it was pulled in automatically for me a few months ago... i.e. 

# eselect profile list
Available profile symlink targets:

my make.conf does not explicity have pulseaudio... however an emerge --info yields that I have it as a use flag.  

I'm not sure if this really matters or not, but my help narrow down some issues.  I'll have to try a recompile as well without pulse.  in looking through.../usr/portage/profiles/targets/desktop/gnome/make.defaults... it does have pulseaudio now...

I never had the problem with the 290 series of drivers because I did not have pulseaudio enabled and installed until after the 295 update.  If you look at how I tested for this you will see that I continued to experience the problem when I reverted back to the 290 series with pulseaudio installed.  After I completely removed pulseaudio both the 290 and 295 drivers worked without any problems when using nvidia's opengl.

I use the default-amd64 profile not the gnome-desktop profile.  While I suspect the gnome-desktop profile enables pulseaudio by default I haven't verified this.  I am confused why an audio application can have this kind of effect on a video application, but then I am not a programmer nor do I fully understand how they all play together.

My system is stable and working great right now.  I am using nvidia-drivers-295.20-r1 with nvidia's opengl enabled and pulseaudio has been completely removed from my system.  Also I think the forms would be a better place to discuss this problem rather than here, until a solution or cause for it can be determined. I know there is a bug here somewhere, but where is the question.

Maybe this is the problem but how would I go about testing this theory?  How do I remove the patch and build gnome-terminal without it?  I no nothing about writing ebuilds, but I do have basic understanding of how to use an overlay.
Comment 12 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2012-03-23 19:10:02 UTC
You can try to edit ebuild and add a comment "#" just before "epatch" line. Then re-emerge gnome-terminal with "emerge -1 --digest gnome-terminal"

Followed your instructions and rebuilt gnome-terminal without the patch.

Re-enabled the pulseaudio USE flag and ran emerge -avNuD world.

I did a complete system reboot and after logging in and checking gnome-terminal the problem reappears.

It seems that if I use nvidia's opengl and have pulseaudio installed the gnome-terminal (and possibly other gnome apps) will fail to exit properly.
Comment 14 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-03-24 01:48:38 UTC
It's likely possible this is related to something similar to bug #407593, given how much of the GNOME desktop is composited in OpenGL now days. I looked through mesa and the reference headers and saw a few more functions that mesa implemented differently from the spec.
Comment 15 nbblxuan 2012-07-06 19:58:10 UTC
On my computer, I solved this by altered "Sound theme" to "No sounds" in Sound Preferences! This is werid! Maybe a bug of gentoo.

Are you using HDMI audio?
