 |
|
I keep getting a ld-linux.so.2 process in my system which seems to be triggered by firefox and it consumes 50% CPU or more untill killed. I can kill it with pkill or restarting X will also nuke it. Any ideas, this is very annoying.
[EDIT]This is caused by accroread[/EDIT]

I found out this is caused by a firefox add-on specifically PDF Download 0.9.3.2. There is a upgrade to 1.0.0.1 so I will install that and report back if it fixes the problem.
[EDIT]
It was not fixed by the upgrade but I think it could be Acrobat Reader app-text/acroread-8.1.1 also.
To reproduce this I open a pdf file, click bypass pdf download in the PDF Downloader add-on. And then I close the accrobat tab in firefox. After that the process stays alive and goes from like 10% cpu to 55% on a dual processor 2.6 GHz opteron.

With the PDF Download add-on disabled accrobat reader does not exhibit this problem.
[EDIT] Again. It appears the acrobat reader is the problem. I viewed a few pdfs without the add-on and the problem was back.[/EDIT]

Since this topic is marked as solved I'm wondering what the solution was. I'm having the same problem on two different machines. Once I've opened a PDF in Firefox (using acroread) some time thereafter my CPU load goes all the way up due to ld-linux.so.2. It also hogs up my entire 4GB of RAM.

Ahh, Sorry. I considered it enough for me to just identify the culprit application. I removed solved from the original post.

Hm ok, that's weird because the other machine on which I have the same problem is a Pentium-M, i.e. a 32-bit machine. Do you mean it is caused by the browser plugin on both platforms? |

I noticed this problem only with a 64-bit firefox, with a 32-bit seamonkey or the PDF Download plugin in the 64-bit ff it does not appear. Anyway at my system. |

That definitely did not fix the problem for me. Opening a pdf in FF caused the cpu usage to immediately go up to 98% instead of being high after closing the pdf.

|
|
Hi all,
On my amd64, I've noticed hang ups lately. The cursor starts to move slowly, everything stops, HDD activity goes through the roof.
After a couple of forced reboots, I noticed from then on what's happening: upon some unknown event ld-linux.so.2 starts eating up memory at high velocity until everything gets blocked and either I kill the process in time or I need to reboot the PC.
Does anybody know what this might be about?
Cheers,
Paulo Matos |

did you try a emerge -1av glibc. That lib belongs to glibc.

I noticed that problem when a .pdf document opens with Adobe Acrobat's browser plugin in Firefox 2.
For me ld-linux.so.2 goes off as soon as I close the document.
`kill <PID of ld-linux.so.2>` doesn't take care of it, I have to use the the big `kill -s SIGKILL <PID of ld-linux.so.2>` instead.
My workaround has been to use the Firefox add-on: "PDF Download" to open the .pdf with kde-base/kpdf instead.
IIRC the cause of the error is with upstream.

I will try that again after I am done building a livedvd via catalyst.

Someone should use the pepper gun on that acroread varmint. I just had it take down my largest server twice. Used 2 gig of memory and 2 gig of swap.
I've been sitting here after reading these posts just opening a pdf and watching ld-linux.so.2 start, for the most part it will behave itself but close the tab and it will take the whole system and more. I very seriously doubt if rebuilding glibc will have any affect but I'll do it to appease the minions and if it does, I'll let you know.
Thanks to whomever posted that reminder about using kill -s SIGKILL NNNN that's the only way to deal with a beast like this once it's got it's dander up.
[UPDATE] No change emerge sandbox glibc with same result. Looks like I better backlevel acroread before I dump this system again. Too bad this will go out in the next release broken like this. I'd post a bug but I've had my share of lip service from the devs for 2008. |

For me I do not see it consuming all of my ram although I do have 4GB of memory. I did recompile glibc and tried viewing a few pdfs with no ill effects but it will have to test this more thoroughly when I get home. I know from previous tests that it does not always exhibit this behavior.

Do you see what I mean about what schmucks those devs are? There was a problem opened and they marked it resolved due to this thread.
No research nothing. I stated specifically that the problem existed and they marked it closed (due to some other bozo) as a duplicate resolved due to this thread, what a bunch of shitheads!
Now I will explain myself, going back to the previous version doesn't fix the problem so they have still introduced a problem that they refuse to work on.
The link that is referenced in the duplicate problem is totally bogus and HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PROBLEM WE ARE EXPERIENCING! They are passing the buck before doing any research.
Are the devs being completely asinine or is this what happens when your first language is not English and you cannot communicate properly with the community?
God knows I pity the new Gentoo users that install the new version only to have it crap out due to bugs like this.

I would not go that hard on the devs. They do mark threads as dups a little early that may not really be dups but generally if you explain why it is not a dupe they will fix that.
[EDIT]
Now after looking at this I do not have a problem with them marking these two threads as dups. Although I on my system I do not see the problem with accrobat using a lot of RAM both bug reports are about acrobat using a lot of cpu usage. It is very possible that they are caused from the same upstream bug or maybe they are glibc related...
[/EDIT]

I got the same problem on a x86_64 gentoo with 64 bits firefox.
Since Adobe doesn't show any sign (always the same in adobe FAQ telling one day, in the future, they will, perhaps look at this...) of porting its stuff to 64 bits (acroread, flashplayer, ...), I guess we'll better user some alternative... |

reemerging glibc did not fix it either. After viewing my bank statement online in pdf format I had ld-linux.so.2 using 52% cpu. So I had to kill it.
| Code: | | pkill -9 ld-linux.so.2 |
did the job for me.
I am now looking into disabling "Allow Fast Web View" in acrobat. Any ideas how to do that. I saw viewing preferences in the plugin but not internet preferences. Do I do that in standalone app?
