[Bug 861408] Re: Metacity hangs and consumes 100% CPU

 

** Description changed:

  I'm using ubuntu 11.04 i386 with proprietary nVidia drivers.
  metacity package has version 2.30.3-0ubuntu8
  Compositing is disabled.
  
  Sometimes (~once a week) metacity stops responding and starts consuming 100% CPU. Usually it happens when I close a window. After it all windows become unusable.
  Running metacity-message restart has no effect. If I kill metacity process the whole X-session terminates and gdm appears.
+ 
+ Update:
+ Also my .xsession-errors gets flooded by following two messages:
+ (metacity:2769): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_poll_write_control: assertion `set != NULL' failed
+ (metacity:2769): GStreamer-WARNING **: gstsystemclock: write control failed in wakeup_async, trying again : 27:File too large
