Bug Description

Since update to Jaunty One java application will not start anymore.
Freeze is in the start window of the Application (Datastudio 7.0)

The java process has the spleeping and Waiting_channel is on "futex_wait"

I notice that gvfs-fuse-daemon is also on "futex_wait"

On 8.10 this application had not start problems

Other Java Application like Eclipse or Monodevelop does not have this problem

JRE is up to date 1.6.0.13

Does anyone else have this Problem ?

I have this problem in reverse: Java apps start normally, but when I close them, the UI closes but the Java process continues running, waiting for "futex_wait". After opening and closing Eclipse a few times these waiting Java processes use gigabytes of RAM.

It seems the problem may be caused by enabling Assistive Technologies in Gnome:

Hello,

I have the same problem: Java hangs with futex_wait status in system monitor.
The Java program opens, but then nothing works.
Sometimes, it's worth: nothing appears and another process is in futex_wait: gvfs-fuse-daemon.

Can you help, please?

I really need to use this software for my work and I do not want to change distribution!

After seeing a few instances of this problem in the past, it's now happening constantly for me. Java programs get "stuck" in futex_wait." They will resume after a long wait (minutes) and the CPU runs loaded. This is really inhibiting my work using Ubuntu. :(

I'm seeing the futex_wait hang problem very frequently on Ubuntu 8.10 when running Adobe Reader 9 as a stand-alone or as a browser plugin. Adobe Reader shows as "sleeping" in System Monitor and doesn't respond to to the "End Process" button; the only way to terminate it is to right-click on the entry and Kill it. Assistive Technologies are not enabled.

I have this problem, too. Mine crashes on startup. From what I gather from the gvfs bug report it is a pulseaudio problem involving thread requests on the soundcard, when other threads, especially java and flash try to access it gvfs-fuse-daemon becomes zombie and that locks java or firefox in zombie. When I kill, home folder locks out with a IO message. "Failed to open directory 'user' Error stating file '/home/user/.gvfs': Transport endpoint not connected." This is happening for many people going back to Hardy. A google search for "gvfs-fuse-daemon futex_wait" shows it is a widespread problem and someone aught to convene a group.
