[Ekiga-list] 100% cpu?

[Ryan Hughes]

Hi. (sorry for cross-post, I didn't know which list was the one to post
this question to -- devel or users).

I've got ekiga 2.0.12.

Whenever I run it, it ends up taking up 95-99% of the CPU and not working.
Sometimes it hangs when trying to connect to my sip account.  Sometimes it
hangs when trying to make a call.  Sometimes it gets partway through a call
before hanging.  When it hangs in the middle of a call, I suddenly stop
receiving audio.

However, even when it's at 99% cpu, it doesn't seem to become unresponsive.  I
can click the buttons and enter things into the address bar.  I can open up the
preferences screen or the account screen.  I can quit it just fine.  It just
won't make calls or connect.

What should I be looking at for more info, or what can I do about this?

I tried to compile it with profiling to see what function it's stalling
in, but I don't seem to know how to do that.  I used this configure
command:

./configure --prefix=/opt/ekiga CFLAGS="-g -pg"

However, when I run ekiga, no "gmon.out" file is produced.  So if that's
going to be the thing I need, then I'll need some help generating it.

Thanks.

I have a little bit more data.

It seems to only do this thing, of hitting 100% cpu usage, after I get
this message on the console:

*** PULSEAUDIO: Unable to create stream.
Cannot set parameters Input/output error

It turns out that the new ubuntu that I've upgraded to has PulseAudio as
its default sound server.  Ekiga doesn't support pulseaudio natively.

Also:  I ran ekiga through gdb and interrupted when it was hitting 100%
cpu, so that I could look at a backtrace.  I got a couple of different
answers, such as:

This one, I got when ekiga was so far gone that I could not choose "quit"
from the "call" menu.

#0  0x00002b366a37bc76 in poll () from /lib/libc.so.6
#1  0x00002b36680d2366 in ?? () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0
#2  0x00002b36680d27d7 in g_main_loop_run () from
/usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0
#3  0x00002b3664ae1f03 in gtk_main () from /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0

      envp=<value optimized out>) at gui/main.cpp:4713

Somebody is doing some polling, but I can't seem to get more information
than that.

My theory is that this is not a bug in ekiga, but is instead a bug in the
way that non-native pulseaudio programs interact with pulseaudio in the
latest ubuntu.

The bug could be worked around in ekiga by making it support pulseaudio
natively, but could only be fixed in those other packages.

That's my theory.


Here's a backtrace I got another time.  This one, I got after I chose
"quit" from the "call" menu, which I did after it started hitting 100%
cpu.  The window disappeared, but the little phone icon remained in the
notification area.

Deadlock?  A live one?


Here's another backtrace.  This one I got when I couldn't hit "call >
quit".

Finally, it seems that I did successfully compile it with gprof output,
but the gmon.out file is only created if the program quits normally (or
abnormally), and not if I have to kill it.  In the past, I have been able
to quit the program normally, even after it hits 100% cpu, but lately I've
had to kill it, so the gmon.out is never created.

That's what I've got.

Okay, thanks.

What happens if you remove pulseaudio ?
Does it work ?

Pulseaudio has a serie of bugs... And Ubuntu likes bugs, moreover, they
do not test what they ship on their CD, so that explains that kind of
situation.

Believe me, don't use ubuntu if you want stability.
