 Posted: Fri Aug 08, 2008 7:20 pm Post subject: What's up with ld-linux.so.2? |
 |
|
Sometimes, my fan starts going like crazy and everything slows down - even to the point that the mouse pointer movements almost stop. I check what's running and it's usually nothing at all but one or more processes of "ld-linux.so.2" using up all of the cpu.
Like so:
56925692 root 20 0 127m 36m 4768 S 65 3.7 10:35.50 X
7429 Aelf 20 0 456m 191m 1076 R 29 19.1 4:24.19 ld-linux.so.2
8154 Aelf 20 0 362m 167m 1076 R 28 16.7 3:42.18 ld-linux.so.2
7572 Aelf 20 0 432m 193m 1076 R 25 19.4 4:06.83 ld-linux.so.2
7999 Aelf 20 0 401m 185m 1076 R 25 18.5 3:48.48 ld-linux.so.2
It seems like it MIGHT have to do with having used Firefox 64 bit, but as I use that all the time I'm not sure. It is really irritating! In some cases, I get rid of these processes if I log out and then log in again. But in some cases they stay and have to be killed -9. Any ideas anyone?
(I'm running 2.6.25-tuxonice-r6 on an HP Pavillion dv9000 amd64 and what a woeful life it is!)

Could you post the output of `file /lib/ld*`?
It looks like that may be the 32-bit dynamic loader, but I can't be sure as I'm running non-multilib.

aelf ~ # file /lib/ld*
/lib/ld-2.6.1.so: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), stripped
/lib/ld-linux.so.2: symbolic link to `../lib32/ld-linux.so.2'
/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2: symbolic link to `ld-2.6.1.so'
I have noticed that ld-linux.so.2 is used at least when running acroread.

That lib runs mad here too when acroread is/was running, no matter if standalone or the browser plugin.

yup. There are a few apps (all closed-source 32bit apps... acroread is the worse) that just munches ld-linux w.r.t. memory
it isn't uncommon for me to find all my 2Gig RAM and all of my 1Gig of SWAP munched due to this lib caused by some fscking crap app

I can confirm that this happens to me too. I use 64-bit Firefox and AcroRead causes my computer to swap like hell occasionally.
Has this been reported? And is Adobe the only one who can fix this?
