Gnome-open starts /bin/bash -ic (uname) and uses 100% CPU to open gvim

I've posted this on stackoverflow and got no answer, hopefully some archers can help me out:
When I execute
gnome-open textfile
I expect gvim to open up. Instead what happens is that the command hangs. When I check htop I see:
/bin/bash -ic (uname) > /tmp/{some random string of characters}
using 100% of the CPU. When I kill the process (and I have to use -9), then cpu usage goes back to normal and gvim opens.
Running
gvim -f textfile
without gnome-open works perfectly.
Any ideas where this process is coming from? Or what it's even doing?
/bin/bash -ic (uname)
doesn't even run for me.
Thank you!

Multi-select LOV's hang form and use 100% CPU power

Hello,
We are using Designer 6i (6.5.52.1.0) and Headstart 6.5
In one of our forms we are using 6 Multi-select LOV's.
When we click the Cancel or Ok button (included through QMS_MSEL_LOV_BUTTONS), or hit Enter query in one of the ML_... blocks the form hangs and starts using all the CPU-power. I've tested this locally (c/s) and through the web (iAS), same result...
I already rebuilt the LOV's but the problem isn't solved.
We've got other forms with one or two multi-select LOV's, and these work fine.
Has anyone experienced this behaviour before, and what is the cure?
Thanks in advance!
Wouter

Wouter,
If you are running against Solaris, you could be running into the following:
Headstart applications that run via webforms on a Sun Solaris application server, suffer again from bug 1985903. This bug was spotted and solved a time ago and seemed to be solved at next
releases of Forms 6i. Now, on Solaris the bug is introduced again.
Description
===========
1. When using a multi-select LOV (which is displayed in a modal dialog
window), you select the records you want, press OK, and the application exits.
2. When using a shuttle control to move records from left to right or vice
versa, you select the records you want, press '>' to move them, and the
application exits.
This occurs in Forms 6.0.8.13.0 and 6.0.8.14.1. It did NOT occur in prior
releases. This is some kind of forms bug.
Workaround
==========
For some reason the call to procedure renumber in qms$msel.process_records
causes the application to exit. If you copy the code from renumber to all the
places from which it is called, it works fine.
- open qmslib65.pll in Form Builder
- open package body qms$msel
- find procedure process_records and define a local variable l_recno of type
number.
- find local procedure renumber and copy the body of this procedure
(everything
after 'begin' and before 'exception').
- replace each call to 'renumber;' with the copied code.
A new version of qms$msel package body is available on iXchange for download.

Hope this helps,

Finder and loginwindow use 100% cpu with 10.6.8

I recently installed the patch to OS X 10.6.8 and now the finder is very unstable and uses 100% cpu and the loginwindow uses 100% cpu also. Yes I have Parallels 6 on this machine but I already "un-checked" the "show windows applications in doc" option which is the recommended solution. However, this did not fix the problem. I do not know how to determine what actual process is causing this finder / loginwindow issue. I very much appreciate if anyone has suggestion how to fix this problem.
This is on a mid-2011 MacBookPro.
thank you.

TBauer, I had the same problem with 10.6.8 using 100% of the CPU with Parallels 6 installed. The following steps solved this problem for me:
0. Take a screen shot of your Dock if you wish to remember it as currently set
1. Launch Activity Monitor and click on the CPU column so you can see Dock using the CPU
2. Move ///Users/ ... /Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist to the trash
3. Click on Dock and click on Quit Process to stop the Dock
OS X will then rebuild the default Dock
4. Put the items back in the Dock that you want
That solved the problem for me yesterday morning. I've launched Parallels 6 several times now and moved the machine from my work network to home and the 100% CPU problem hasn't returned.
Hope that works for you, too!
I don't think using the combo updater will solve the problem. The problem appears to be a .plist that is generated with OS X 10.6.7 and earlier that contains icons of a larger than Apple documented size causes the CPU looping. Rebuilding the dock.plist under OS X 10.6.8 appears to solve the problem.
Parallels has issued a knowledge bulletin saying they are looking into the problem. On their web site they have another approach involving moving the offending icon out of the dock to solve the problem. I like my solution better but theirs works, too.

Xcode using 100% cpu even with no projects open: Solution

Symptom:
I had a very strange problem with Xcode 3.2.1 on Snow Leopard 10.6.2. As soon as I opened a project, Xcode would start using 100% of the cpu. It would continue doing this even after I closed ALL open projects. Xcode was using 100% cpu (200% actually) even while idle! Xcode would also often hang. I tried deleting Xcode and reinstalling twice. That didn't help. After much searching and trial and error I discovered the problem and the solution:
Problem:
I had an SCM entry defined from a previous remote site session in the SCM tab of the Xcode preferences. This site was no longer responding to requests, and apparently Xcode was continually trying to connect. Apparently the preferences were saved across the uninstall even though I used the shell script to uninstall all the developer tools.
Solution:
Delete the unavailable repository from the SCM tab in Xcode preferences.
I hope this saves someone the aggravation this problem has caused me.

ITunes will uses 100% cpu and will not close in OSX Lion

When I start up iTunes, after a few minutes, the fan kicks on and Activity Monitor shows that it is using 100% CPU. The fan kicks up and the MBP gets warm. I have to force close to get it to shut down. iTunes match is constantly running, so maybe that has something to do with it?
I'm not running it in Mini Player mode or anything like that, so I'm not sure what's causing the problem. Any thoughts on how to diagnose it?

I also have this problem which has been getting worse with recent successive updates of Firefox. As a long-time user and advocate, I am about ready to look for an alternative browser. Firefox will not close and exit properly, requiring direct cancellation through Task Manager; starts up very slowly (often 1 to 2 minutes); and frequently locks up the CPU with 100% of cycles while doing NOTHING; offers to restart crashed sessions, but cannot recover and reload those sessions; will not operate correctly while any other application accesses the internet, like uTorrent. Firefox is set to delete cookies, etc. whenever the session closes, sqlite database is vacuumed regularly, CCleaner regularly wipes remaining accretions, and disk is defragged. Currently running 3.5.5 but will NOT upgrade until this problem is solved since later builds report the same problems. I know several other users who have experienced the same problem and I can no longer automatically recommend Firefox to users and clients. Is anybody paying any attention to this problem? What is being done to address this fault? Why is there no response to the original poster? Is this really a support forum or just a way to preoccupy and distract the users who suffer this malfunction? Wireless 54Mbps connection. No Adobe Flash, QuickTime, MS Silverlight, etc. installed on this machine. Firefox 3.5.5 with the following add-ons:
Aardvark 3.0
Adblock Plus 1.2.1
Adblock Plus: Element Hiding Helper 1.0.6
Free Download Manager plugin 1.3.4
Highlighter 0.1.4
MR Tech Toolkit 6.0.4
repagination 2006.4.5.1
Save Complete 1.0.1
Session Manager 0.6.8.3
Tab Mix Plus 0.3.8.4
Unhide Passwords 1.2.5.1
User Agent Switcher 0.7.2
Thanks for any help or suggestions.

All programs using 100% CPU, freezing, crashing, -10810, -600, and -1712 errors

Okay, so. I have a Macbook Pro from December 2012, a little over a year old.
Version 10.9.1, running Mavericks
Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 8 GB
Startup Disk - Macintosh HD
I can send more info if I need to. I'm a graphic designer using Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign usually simultaneously, as well as Spotify, Messages, Sparrow (mail), Stickies, Tweetdeck, and Evernote. I also use a wireless mouse, drawing tablet, and second screen. This has never been a problem (I mean, my old computer had 4 GB memory and handled these programs just fine, except for Final Cut Pro 7) up until recently.
For the last two months, my computer has been seriously out of whack.
I'm constantly having to refresh finder
Every time I open Google Chrome, all of my extentions crash immediately and any website I try to go to is extremely sluggish (but Safari works)
The dock freezes
Constant error messages: 1712, 10810, 600
Audio fails randomly
Overall, the problem seems to be that I can't do more than one thing at a time -- I can't take a screenshot if more than two programs are open, I can't open DMG files, I can't open Spotify if any Creative Suite program is open. I've been watching the activity monitor, and it seems like each program is trying to use 100% CPU, which doesn't seem right. I have to close every program to work in Photoshop, which makes me miss calls and emails.
I've tried restarting in safe mode, verifiyng the disk and repairing permissions, I used time capsule to restore to a time before it was happening, and restored my user profile in Chrome. I'm at my complete wit's end trying to figure this out! I feel like my next step is to just reinstall my OS completely, but that would be a major setback for getting my work done, and I'm not even sure that would work.
I've looked on other forums and it seems like the Mail app typically causes problems, but I don't even use it, I use Sparrow.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP

Launch error -10810 in Mavericks
I have the same issue since a couple of days. Nothing that I found in the community (rebuilding launch info using Onyx or manually deleting the apple.com-launch prefs) has helped me so far. Only some apps are affected (PasswordWallet 4.7.4 among them).
I can launch it once and it will run fine as long as it’s open. Next time it refuses to open displaying the error -10810 message instead. I trash the app and use a fresh one off the vendor’s dmg file I downloaded and the sequence repeats.

Firefox keeps freezing and using 50% cpu and memory usage shoots up most of the time it's when there's an auto update of anything addon, plugin or ff!

Firefox keeps freezing and using 50% cpu and memory usage shoots up real fast and carries on going till it uses up all there is left. Most of the time it's when there's an auto update of anything addon, plugin or ff but not just neccessarily then! I find out it's happened when there's been an update after i restart and an extra webpage comes up with the particular addon/plugin/ff update. I have to restart most of time because nothing sorts it out. I'm using windows xp with the latest update of ff 13.0.1 it's not this version because it's been happening for a while. And it never started when i added a particular addon or plugin or when i added a new app to my pc either. Any idea as to what this may be or how i'd sort it out?
Cheers

Maybe disable hardware acceleration? This article should help: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-uses-too-much-memory-ram

Ff stalls out when opening new tabs, using 100% cpu on mac

went to leave this in the feedback section but that doesnt work either, nothing gets sent. but anyways, new tabs always feeze or stall for over a min, using 100% cpu. running mac 10.6.8. never had problem on earlier versions of ff but ff5 is broken im sorry to say on macs. please advise or fix, more and more people are experiencing this same issue but nothing is being done to resolve.

16gb aint enough lol> imac 27 , top of line, ssd hdd, 16gb ram, all updates, if memory was bad it would happen on other browsers or apps, only happens when you specifically open a new tab.

Safari loads 100% CPU while opening a webpage when working in cooperation with DeviceLock

I have Safari 5.0.5 and DeviceLock 7.1 installed on same computer running Windows XP x86.
When I confugure any network protocol settings in Devicelock (to make its network module active), Safari loads 100% CPU while opening any webpage, for example http://www.apple.com/startpage/
This issue doesn't occurs on other browsers - Internet Explorer, Firefox, so I assume the issue belongs to Safari, not to DeviceLock.

It may not be DeviceLock, or Windows. I see (via Activity Monitor) Safari use 100% CPU while loading a new page on my G5 iMac. Then it drops back again. It may be something to do with Safari 5.0.5

I upgraded to iTunes 10.5 on XP and now it and applemobiledeviceservice.exe use 100% CPU. How do I fix this?

I upgraded to iTunes 10.5 on XP and now it and applemobiledeviceservice.exe use 100% CPU. How do I fix this?

When I called Apple Support to ask about the 100% CPU usage, they wanted to charge me because my Ipod was out of warranty. I insisted on talking to someone and finally got to talk to a software engineer for free. He said that he had never heard of the problem in his three years at Apple. Nonetheless, he sounded really interested and suggested that it might be a conflict with anti-virus software. I deleted the antiviruse and that DID NOT HELP AT ALL.
It seems as if Apple could care less. There is no official response. Their primary response is to look at the Forum. At least you find out that the problem isn't your fault, it really is Apple!!!!
So far the best solution is just to delete iTunes and use Mediamonkey to sync your pod.
Apple, please fix this!!!!!
