REPRODUCIBILITY: 100%
OS VERSION: 4.5.0.16
HARDWARE: Xperia 10 II
UI LANGUAGE: Finnish, not relevant
REGRESSION: Yes, haven’t noticed this in 4.4 versions for instance
DESCRIPTION:
It seems that when viewing journalctl
using the Terminal application, one can get processes to hang on when closing the Terminal from UI. Especially on this particular case program / process “more” is left running and consuming CPU quite significantly. I’m not sure whether this is related to only journalctl
.
PRECONDITIONS:
Terminal application is required which presumably (?) requires enabling development tools or similar. Requires setting the root password for devel-su
.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
- Open terminal application
- Run
devel-su
- Run
journalctl
- Close the terminal while still running
journalctl
- View processes and notice the “more”
EXPECTED RESULT:
I suspect that killing / closing the terminal application should also kill all the other processes that it had started. No processes or programs opened by the Terminal app should be left running in the background when closing the application.
ACTUAL RESULT:
Process / program called “more” is left running in the background consuming CPU. Only way to get rid off it is to either manually kill the process or reboot.
MODIFICATIONS:
None
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Example of having several “more” processes when viewing on Lighthouse application. On this case I was repeatedly able to reproduce the bug and every time new “more” process was introduced.
