Ubuntu :: (firefox And Npviewer) X64/V9.10 'uninterruptible' Processess - All The Time
Apr 14, 2010
I'm having where processes (firefox and npviewer seem to be major culprits) just lock up taking excessive (i.e. 100% of the CPU) and state' 'uninterruptible' in the system monitor. This carries through to all my other processes (windows) and makes them unresponsive. What's worse, is when the system gets in this state, even the system monitor itself becomes 'gray' and unresponsive. Often 30 seconds later, I can get a 2 second window with which to access my system monitor (it becomes colored again) before going gray again. During that small window, I might be able to kill the offending processes.
Problem is, the system does this literally all the time. Like when I have firefox open with perhaps 4 tabs, that's all it takes to cause everything to begin locking up -- and at times, that might be the only application open that causes this system lock up. Other things that seem to trigger this is if firefox is running and the system update opens up. I am simply finding Ubuntu to just not be reliable enough, and as much as I hate the idea of switching back to windows, if I can't find a solution (that has been plaguing me for months) I don't see any other choice. Sadly, I find very little information on a solution to this problem, but, searching through the forums and on google, I can see that I am not alone.

On FC11 64 bit with Adobe flash plugin for Linux installed, I see segfault errors from "npviewer" in /var/log/messages. The only browser I have tried yet, Firefox, has glitches every now and then. Sometimes it shows the title of a page in a tab, but the page is blank. This can even happen when I try the Google main page. Is it true that npviewer has something to do with Adobe flash? Is there a way to fix the problem? If it is caused by Adobe flash, is there a different plugin that will replace Adobe flash player?

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 just installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my Dell Insp. 1545 2.16 GHZ 3GB RAM I have the following problem that I don't have on Vista. Problems:
1. Fan is running almost constantly
2. Cpu temps reaching 69C, stable at 54C
3. Temps spike especially with Java and npviewer.bin (in both FF/CHROME)
Ex. In system monitor, npviewer and Java take up about 90%, and while running, the CPUs are at 1. 80% 2. 90%. However, even when these processes are killed, basic activity (FF, file browsing etc) cpu% stay near 50/70, and fan stays on. Question: any suggestions? I heard restricted drivers could cause this problem. Any thoughts?

Is it possible to run both a 32-bit version of Firefox and a 64-bit version of Firefox at the same time?Here is my problem:WebEx requires 32-bit for Ubuntu Linux. But, I need a 64-bit OS for other software that I run.I also have 64-bit Java running Eclipse and a couple of other Swing applications with no problems. So, I don't really want to switch everything over to 32-bit.Here is what I was able to do:- I can create a separate Firefox Profile for WebEx. I launch it using the -P switch.- I can have multiple Firefox Profiles open at the same time with the --no-remote switch.- I downloaded the 32-bit version of Firefox from the Firefox website and extracted it into a directory underneath my home directory.
- I can run that version of Firefox, and I am assuming that is a 32-bit version running.The problem is that it does not load any of my plugins because they are 64-bit. I see in the terminal output these messages:LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/librhythmbox-itms-detection-plugin.so [/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/librhythmbox-itms-detection-plugin.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64]I have a 32-bit version of Java installed at ~/bin/java/jdk1.6.0_18, and I created a link to the plugin in my 32-bit firefox plugins directory:~/bin/java/firefox/plugins$ sudo ln -s /home/skp/bin/java/jdk1.6.0_18/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so libjavaplugin_oji.soFrom what I can tell, Firefox is not looking in that directory for Java.

Anyway, I installed Ubuntu normally. Whenever I try to run Firefox for the first time, it loads for a bit, then it crashes. Every time. I tried reinstalling it, and the isntallation was fine. I managed to connect properly. But it won't run.

I want to launch Firefox at a different time every day, and send it to a landmarked page, not my home page.
Is there a relatively simple way to automate this?

Recently firefox has been crashing on me like crazy. I'm on Fedora 14 with the latest repo firefox version. Running firefox with the "-safe" flag doesn't help nor did reinstalling firefox using "yum reinstall firefox". According to ABRT every crash is due to: "Process /usr/lib/firefox-3.6/firefox was killed by signal 11 (SIGSEGV)". When run from root in terminal via "sudo firefox" with and without "-safe" after crashing the message returned to terminal reads: "/usr/lib/firefox-3.6/run-mozilla.sh: line 131: 2*** Segmentation fault (core dumped) "$prog" ${1+"$@"}". The stars after 2 (I.e. "2***") are to indicate different numbers. On one run they were "2406" and on another "2538". Recently, in all instances firefox crashes right after attempting to navigate to a website (I've tried many - there is no correlation between what website I go to and if it crashes). Previously, when firefox was crashing less frequently, it occurred intermittently and wasn't correlated to any action I took.

Since I updated to Karmic, I noticed a very annoying problem that forces me to restart Firefox every 20 minutes or so: When the cursor is located inside the address bar (CRTL+L), I always type one or two characters, a drop down menu appears with most visited links that contain these characters, I press <down-arrow>, <Enter> and go to one of my usual links. I use this all the time, which allows me to go to me usual links in a second or two. The problem is that this feature stops working after browsing for some time: no drop-down menu appears and pressing the down-arrow does nothing.
The only other problem that happens in coincidence is that you have to click 2 or 3 times on the 'arrow-down' button on the right side of the address bar before you get a drop-down menu with the most visited links (this normally happens on the first click). The problem appears at random moments (typically after some 10 to 20 minutes of browsing, but sometimes earlier) and disappears when I restart FF. I tried clearing the history, but that does not change anything. Does anyone else see this problem and knows how to fix it?
My setup:
Toshiba notebook, 32 bit
up to date Karmic
FF 3.5.6, with some add-ons: adblock plus, bugmenot, all-in-one gestures, xmarks and some dictionaries, all working without any problems.

Firefox take so long more that 2 min when started and there is no internet is available (i.e. Ethernet cable is unplugged).
I think FF is looking for the connection. How can I make FF ignores this check.
I need this because sometime I am away from my networks and I need FF for local testing for web development.
I am using Ubuntu 10.4

I'm using Emerald Theme Manager 0.7.2. Using Oxygen 0.1 as the engine, when I switch between Firefox tabs the Title Bar lags at times and displays the previously viewed tab/screen. If I click in the Title Bar, it then updates.

after i leave firefox on for some hours (the amount of time varies between a couple of hours to a day), when i try to use flash, for example in videos, it plays the first second of the video and then goes into a sound loop of that 1 second of sound that continues even after i stop the video. it takes about 30 seconds for it to stop. at other times, if i've left a video paused in the middle and start it again after some hours, it goes through the rest of the video in just a few seconds like it is in fast forward. the sound is messed up just like in the other case.
the problem clears up completely after i restart firefox. i have tried changing the flash plugins but this usually leads to other problems. right now i'm using the default plugin file name: libflashplayer.so shockwave flash 10.1 r102 i only had this problem in debian, its been going on for months now and i have absolutely no idea what causes it to happen. it seems completely random. when i have only two or three tabs open its a slight nuisance but restarting firefox with 50 tabs open just takes too long.

When a notification comes in on KDE, if I am scrolling a window in FF at the same time, the FF page goes smeared and unusable, and stays that way. Is this a known bug or something I can tweak? I will post a screen soon... (I have to wait for a notification!)

Old? They've been around for a while and I wonder if they're still relevant. The following:
Code:
network.http.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
network.http.proxy.pipelining
And adding a new integer
Code:
nglayout.initialpaint.delay
Still relevant with the recent versions of Firefox or a waste of time?

I'm running F 13 and today's updates included updates to Xorg, so I logged out and back in to let them take effect. Ever since then, Firefox has been repeatedly crashing, especially on certain sites. I managed to get the crash reporting tool to report it to Bugzilla, but when I try to go back to add the bug report to this post, Firefox crashes, every single time. Has anybody else found this? If somebody can get to bugzilla.redhat.com and find the report (The email address I use there is joe@zeff.us if it helps.) I'd appreciate having it added as a response to this, so that others can find it and,

When I search addons with firefox, it takes 4 mins to connect to server, and after approving to ad it, it again takes that much time to connect to download. While downloading it's ok, but connecting to server takes time. This is for all addons. Is there any body having same issue?

I downloaded Firefox and Thunderbird from the mozilla site and unpacked them and added the executables to the main menu. When I start either of them, the respective logo jumps up and down below the cursor for more than 10 seconds after the program has finished loading. Is there an easy fix to this small but annoying issue? I run Squeeze with KDE on a Thinkpad R61.

I updated Fedora 9 yesterday. I rebooted earlier and now the desktop starts for a very short time then disappears followed by a window opening and closing for a few goes. After this nothing! YUM does not work, neither does Firefox! A bug report informed me there was a Python problem but I can find no reference to this anywhere.

I have problems with a very slow workstation (even the mouse movement takes seconds....). Analyzing the processes, I found out that raid related processes are the reason. I have 4 HD, 2 pairs of raid 1. One set of HD covers md0-md3 and one set of HD covers md4-md6. ( run an updated CentOs 5.5 ws) I see that "md0_raid1" process is changing from status "sleeping" to "uninterruptible" about every 4 seconds. I changed one HD in this raid 1 set (which covers md0, md1, md2 and md3). When I only had one HD in this raid 1, there were no such processes (of course there was nothing to mirror to ....)
During the exchanging of one of the HD in this raid 1 set (md0-md3) (which I thought was the bad one)), I removed (by mistake) one HD from the other raid pair (md4-md6), which I now am rebuilding, using the mdadm add command. Checking the process list, they show indeed up as "md5resync" in the process list. Same for md4 and md6. This seems OK. But why do I have these continously recurring "md0_raid1" process in my list, listed as "uninterruptible" ?? What is happeing? When I check with mdadm --detail /dev/md0:

It takes me a while to log in the splash screen just sits there for ages before i get to the desktop. Never used to be this slow and I'm not sure why. Firstly, I'm running Ubuntu 11.04, standard DE. I do have conky starting up in a script but it has the & at the end of the line so I didn't think this would cause it (or is there some special case for log in time on how & is treated?). However as a test I will comment out the line in the script and see if it is the cause.
However just for general knowledge and in case that isn't the problem, how does one go seeing what is happening during the time from when one log's in and the desktop is displayed? Is there some kind of log that shows the date/time that can be enabled or is there a debug mode that can be enabled somehow via special keys or maybe from grub?

I have several file servers in our offices and I am relatively new to Ubuntu / Linux. I get notices that there are updates for the server software from time to time. Is it typical to update everything when available or should I follow "If it ain't broke, don't fix it..." mentality?I would hate for everything to be working fine and then have an update throw me a curve.

I am running my Ubuntu 32 bit server on top of Windows 7 64 bit with VirualBox. It's a 2 core Atom. It's been working good for about half a year. But the last about 6 weeks the system time only in Ubuntu is going slow. About -8 per 24 hours! I can only guess because I have more things running in my Windows 7 and Ubuntu.
I can set it right by coping the hareware time to system time with this command:
Code:
hwclock --hctosys
I want to run a crontab to have that command run every minute. But it don't seem to run.
