The problem is that I can't kill that vlc-process.
Code: Select allkillall vlc
will NOT kill it
and
Code: Select allkill 31641
won't work either
top shows
Code: Select allPID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
31641 xxxxxxxx 20 0 1320248 64384 39120 S 100.0 1.6 44:51.94 vlc
Is there any way to kill the vlc-process (without booting the machine)? I also tried the "killall vlc" and "kill 31641" as root with the same results.
I have Debian jessie and the only "nonofficial" repositories I have enabled are
#google chrome
http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb stable main
#Backports
deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main
And from those I have installed only chrome, and wine-development, and I dont think those could have anything to do with this problem.
Booting the machine does work, but I don't want to boot my machine just now. This happens about once per week
the process is mcelog. When I do as root kill -9 2323 which is pid of mcelog the process is not killed. I tried doing the same from top, press K and enter pid of mcelog. doing ps auwx | grep mcelog I see there are several results. I tried killing all of them like kill -9 2355 2341 3425 2345. But re-running the above commands still shows them as running. How else would I troubleshoot this to avoid restarting of the box.

But i want users be able to run it multiple times, and killing only an specific process and not every single one.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI just installed Arch Linux with Gnome and gdm is set to boot into gnome as soon as it boots.
But I realized that the barebone gnome package that I installed doesn't include a terminal or a text editor so I can't install anything further or modify the rc.conf file to make it boot without gdm.
Is there a way for me to kill x from the Gnome interface?
I'm quite new to ubuntu and I don't speak the language yet (sorry), I'm also new to this forum, is it okay to just post a request for help? Normally I can find all the info I need with a google search but I don't even know where to start with this one.
I seem to have killed the entire installation and I'm not sure what to do. I'm not even sure what information to provide. I'm running 10.4 LTS on a pretty standard laptop, i3-330M CPU, nvidia geforce GT 325M (I mention this because I think it's part of the problem). I just re-installed clean from the live CD (I also have a windows partition), everything worked fine. Then I downloaded and installed all updates the system suggested and I also used the proprietary drivers gizmo to DL and activate the nvidia package. When I restarted the system the OS would not start, recovery mode will not start either.
I get my grub screen as usual, select Ubuntu, it moves to a blank screen with blinking curser as usual, then goes completely grey and appears to hang. I think the graphical interface is not initialising. I'm assuming it's either a problem with the nvidia driver directly or the nvidia driver has done something to xserver that prevents it from starting. It might also be one of the updates, or I did think perhaps it was just the updates taking effect on restart, I left it hanging on the grey screen for an hour and still nothing, it couldn't take longer than that could it? I can dismount grub to a command prompt but it doesn't seem to understand normal commands.
Can we just put all the processes in one group and kill that group? Is there any other way to do this?

Ctrl-c doesn't always work to kill the current process (for instance, if that process is busy in certain network operations). In that case, you just see "^C" by your cursor, and can't do much else.What's the easiest way to force that process to die now without losing my terminal?
Summary of answers below:Usually, you can Ctrl-z to put the process to sleep, and then do "kill -9 process-pid", where you find the process's pid with 'ps' and other tools.On Bash (and possibly other shells) you can do "kill -9 %1" (or '%N' in general) which is easier. If Ctrl-z doesn't work, you'll have to open another terminal and kill from there.

Often I get the following message when starting FireFox:
Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.At the same time CPU usage goes to 100%, load is extremely high and my PC is becoming unresponsive.I tried killing the process: Code: killall -9 firefox but without success.In the System Monitor I see that firefox is marked as "uninterruptible" process.
I have a big problem with one of my processes named "mbusd" ;it is an opensource modbus RTU/TCP gateway when I plug USB to serial convertor to it my laptop without this process linux makes virtual ttyUSB very fine and when I unplug it it removes except some times (SOME TIMES not all the times) that I run mbusd process to work with, at that time during mbusd process work when I unplug USB/serial converter the virtual ttyUSB does not disappear and mbusd does not exit too and it turnes in something like this when I get ps -aux: mbusd [defunc] at this time I can not even kill it with -9 or -15 signals and pluging back the converter does not solve the problem too and mbusd does not exit or start to run again.

View 4 Replies View RelatedWe have an internal application which takes below 10% cpu usage normally. However sometimes it hit above 85% or more (and stays there) causing the server to become very slow. Currently we have to monitor this manually, kill the process and manually start it.
command / script that will kill the process (using pid will be the best option as i think) when it reaches 85% or higher

first time KDE and OpenSUSE user here, went from BSD to Windows now here with you, and I have a small problem. This is pretty much a fresh install, and KDE will sometimes become unresponsive and the computer will disconnect USB devices (mouse keyboard). Although I can still use the trackpad and keyboard on the laptop, no shortcuts work, I cannot kill process, open the terminal, or anything else, and can only reboot the compute via power switch.
I was told by an experienced Ubuntu user to try to replicate the error on demand and post the logs. The problem is, I can't. It will happen pretty randomly, sometimes when watching flash, or sometimes downloading from Yast2. I did take my last logs from a recent crash though and have the pastbin Jan 3 19:54:02 linux-yiyn su: (to root) kris on / - Linux logfile Also as a side note, although running on older hardware, OpenSUSE never seems to utilize more then 7% CPU (1.5Ghz single core) and 130Mb RAM (2Gb DDR). I am told this is unlike linux systems, that they usually idle high.
