khubd taking 100% CPU after unproperly removing USB webcam

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I unplugged my (second) webcam, forgotting to stop ekiga, and khubd is
now taking 100% CPU.

- lsusb doesn't return
- /etc/init.d/udev restart didn't resolve the problem.

Is that a problem one may want to investigate or should I just forget
about it (problem being cause by a user error)?

Is there a way for me to:
- get more information about the problem ? I cannot strace not gdb
attach to the kernel process.
- solve the issue without restarting the computer
- should I do something particular before unplugging a USB device (on
windows there's this tray program to stop the USB device), should I
just run some sort of lsof on the device to check if it is safe to
remove it ?

Cheers,

Jerome
