[Bug 1394193] Re: 114 instances of indicator-sound-service running

 

Same issue herre on Xubuntu 14.04.1 x86_64.

I have 103 instances of the process. The processes are owned by
"lightdm" user except for one which is owned by my userid "snabb" (see
the process list at the end).

There are also 103 instances of process "init --user --startup-event
indicator-services-start" owned by "lightdm" as well, except one is
owned by myself again (see the second process list at the end).

When executing "sudo killall indicator-sound-service" all of the
instances were restated.

At the time there was lots of syslog output by pulseaudio. See the end
of message for tail output.

$ sudo ps axuwww | fgrep indicator-sound-service | fgrep -v fgrep

Title:
  114 instances of indicator-sound-service running

Status in indicator-sound package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have at the moment 114 instances of indicator-sound-service running.
  I can get rid of them by running "sudo killall indicator-sound-service".
  After which, in about two seconds, 114 new indicator-sound-service processes are started.

  $ ps aux | grep indicator-sound-service | grep lightdm | wc -l
  114

  $ ps aux | grep indicator-sound-service | grep lightdm | wc -l

  etc...

  I'm not an expert, but I don't think I need 114 instances of
  indicator-sound-service.
