I've just started to experience this issue. Tried uninstalling, purging, reinstalling, no luck.
I didn't have it before, but then one day it started doing it and now I can't use it anymore :-( -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to rhythmbox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/575159 Title: Rhythmbox eats a HUGE amount of memory on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (even if no music is running) Status in rhythmbox package in Ubuntu: Expired Bug description: Binary package hint: rhythmbox Expected behaviour: Starting the program, it should open up and should consume a reasonable low amount of RAM ( < 100 MB). Actual behaviour Starting the program, it opens up slowly and consumes a HUGE amount of RAM ( > 1000 MB). It does not seem right to me, that a music player consumes such an amount of memory. lsb_release -rd: Description: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Release: 10.04 apt-cache policy rhythmbox rhythmbox: Installed: 0.12.8-0ubuntu3 Candidate: 0.12.8-0ubuntu3 Version table: *** 0.12.8-0ubuntu3 0 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/575159/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
