hi all --

in the process of trying to get my wifi working, i've noticed that pc-nettray manager is using ~100% of one of my processor cores. is this normal?

cheers!

There have been many fixes to pc-nettray for 9.1. If you get a chance to test the latest snapshot or the upcoming beta1,let us know if this is still an issue or if it has been resolved.

hi Dru --

I can report that I'm still having the same problem in the 20120605 snapshot. Screenshot to follow -- here: http://imgur.com/Vqx0O.

Thanks!

I've just updated the code a bit, hopefully it gets rid of the 100%
processor usage you saw.

When the next image hits, please retest and let us know if it still does
this.

hi Kris -- no problem. Thanks for taking a look at this!

Cheers,

hi Kris & co.

I can throw up a screenshot at some point -- pc-nettray is continuing to use 100% WCPU as reported by top. If this helps at all:

CPU: 24.8% user, 0.0% nice, 25.2% system, 0.0% interrupt, 49.8% idle

Please let me know if there's any info I can pass along to help debug.
Cheers!

(using Beta1)

This on a wireless device? Can you paste the output of "ps -auwwx | grep
pc-nettray"?

hi Kris --
yes, it's on a Thinkpad X61 (Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965). Here's the output from BETA1:

[bridger@pcbsd-4853] ~% ps -auwwx | grep pc-nettray

I'll add the output from 9.0 as soon as I reboot.
Thanks!

Here's 9.0:

Ok, I may have just fixed this. Can you install our tools from source
and confirm? (You'll need the development meta-pkg installed in system
manager)

% svn co svn://svn.pcbsd.org/pcbsd/current/src-qt4 src-qt4
% cd src-qt4/libpcbsd
% qmake-qt4 *.pro
% sudo make install
% cd ../pc-netmanager/src/NetworkTray
% qmake-qt4 *.pro
% sudo make install

Then restart the network tray, by logging out / in. Does it fix the issue?

Thanks, Kris,

your fix seems to have done the trick:

ps -auwwx | grep pc-nettray

[bridger@pcbsd-4853] ~% ps -auwwx | grep pc-nettray
root       15814   0.0  0.1  57260  4280 ??  I     4:56PM  0:00.01 sudo pc-nettray wlan0
root       20604   0.0  0.7 158132 21784 ??  S     4:57PM  0:00.20 pc-nettray wlan0
