I am running Fedora 8 uname -r = 2.6.24.4-64.fc8 on my box with Wine 0.9.58. When I first installed it I noticed that my CPU usage jumped and stayed at 100% with wineserver taking > 85%. I killed the wineserver process and it dropped down, however it soon jumped back up when wineserver restarted itself. I then killed it again and all related processes and disabled it from starting as a damen at boot time. Is there anything that I should be looking for to fix this? Also is there any real advantage of running wineserver all the time as a damen?
TIA

Wineserver is started by wine whenever it's needed.I killed the wineserver process and it dropped down,
however it soon jumped back up when wineserver restarted itself.
AFAIK, it doesn't start at boot time; not sure what you're talking about.I then killed it again and all related processes and disabled

Wineserver causing heavy CPU load
2008/4/28 Dan Kegel <[email protected]>:
or so ago, I used Google's original Linux port of Picasa (the one
which comes with its own custom Wine) on Ubuntu Edgy a *lot*. And I
would see explorer.exe using absolutely as much CPU as it could. I
noticed this because my laptop kept heating up to the point where it
shut itself down ...
(Now I run the Windows version of Picasa under stock Wine
)
The symptoms sound similar, I'm wondering if it's related.
Oh, and explorer.exe's VM footprint was listed in top (which I know is
not entirely accurate) as about a gigabyte.

I can't give logs or traces, but I can give you an anecdote - a yearI've seen that, too. If you use strace -p on it, what is it doing?

Nah. The recent runaway explorer.exe was IME-related.The symptoms sound similar, I'm wondering if it's related.
That's normal, not very interesting. RSS footprint is more interesting,Oh, and explorer.exe's VM footprint was listed in top (which I know is

Re: Wineserver causing heavy CPU load
When I installed wine I found that it created a process damon in system services gui that was checked and was running. I did not actually check to see if it had setup to restart on reboot. I believe that in the GUI if the service is cheacked it will be auto started on boot.Dan Kegel wrote:On Mon, Apr 28, 2008 at 2:35 PM, Bad2theBone

It appears to do the same. I had installed IEs4Linux which apparently installs it's own copy of wine. I also have the system monitor applet on my top bar (gnome) and as soon as IE6 starts sysmon shows CPU time at 100%. My strace -p looked similar to yours but much longer. I also noticed that all processes remained active even though I closed IE. Doing a ps -ef shows the below statuses:
scott 7037 1 0 20:39 ? 00:00:00 bash /home/scott/bin/ie6
scott 7038 7037 25 20:39 ? 00:00:40 /home/scott/.ies4linux/ie6/drive_c/Program Files/Internet Explorer/IEXPLORE.EXE

It can't, since it's a per-user daemon.

That may or may not be related; a lot of apps burn more CPU in Wine thanI had installed IEs4Linux...as soon as IE6 starts sysmon shows CPU time at 100%.
in IE.
That might just mean that IE didn't exit properly when you closed it.I also noticed that all processes remained active even though I closed IE.

I just tried running other M$ apps (MSOffice2K) and they seem to be fine, not CPU time eaters, only IE6. Isn't IEs4Linux just a script that installs different IE versions? In other words it won't make a difference if I manually install IE6 through the wine CLI or even IE7?

Wineserver causing heavy CPU load
I've the same issue under Solaris, depending on what tool I run. I canI've seen that, too. If you use strace -p on it, what is it doing?
reproduce it for instance with uTorrent (there isn't a decent torrent
client that compiles on Solaris without sacrificing a newborn). I've
trussed it (strace equivalent) and the result is a logfile full of
exactly this:
pollsys(0x080D95F8, 72, 0x08047A38, 0x00000000) = 1
recvmsg(26, 0x080B4294, 0) = 0
Basically polling the living crap out of something.

I figured I'd try dtrace for a change, since I have it here. Running it for a few seconds results in this:
Code: Select all
hyperborea:~ > pfexec dtrace -n 'pid712:::entry { @n[probefunc] = count(); }'
