I have a similar problem with timidity spinning on 14.04.
It worked to do
sudo killall -9 timidity
. You need thesudo
because the process is owned by thetimidity
userid.I see a comment at at http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php?topic=124239.0 about something like this in KDE after logout, and a fix involving
$HOME/.kde4/shutdown/MidExit
which should saykillall -9 timidity &
But though I use KDE on 14.04, I don't see a line like that, and I haven't logged out since reboot.
I reported it at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/timidity/+bug/1638341
