Hello, I have seen a few posts on this list about Shotwell 0.8.1 not starting, but I haven't found anything similar to what I'm facing.
While Shotwell does start, it consumes more and more memory until it reaches a point where new memory can't be allocated. I have run strace on it, and in fact it shows the following result: mmap2(NULL, 262144, ...) = 0xae1a2000 mmap2(NULL, 520192, ...) = 0xae123000 mmap2(NULL, 1036288, ...) = 0xae026000 mmap2(NULL, 2068480, ...) = 0xade2d000 mmap2(NULL, 4132864, ...) = 0xada3c000 mmap2(NULL, 8261632, ...) = 0xad25b000 mmap2(NULL, 16519168, ...) = 0xac29a000 mmap2(NULL, 33034240, ...) = 0xaa319000 mmap2(NULL, 66064384, ...) = 0xa6418000 mmap2(NULL, 132124672, ...) = 0x9e617000 mmap2(NULL, 264245248, ...) = 0x8ea16000 mmap2(NULL, 528486400, ...) = 0x6f215000 mmap2(NULL, 1056968704, ...) = -1 ENOMEM (Cannot allocate memory) brk(0x494de000) = 0xa4de000 mmap2(NULL, 1057099776, ...) = -1 ENOMEM (Cannot allocate memory) mmap2(NULL, 1056968704, ...) = -1 ENOMEM (Cannot allocate memory) We can actually see that the allocated size is always doubled. Shotwell will keep running and consuming 100% CPU of one core (I'm glade to have two cores), and use almost all the RAM, but nothing seems to be progressing, no files seem to be read or written. I have tried to use an empty data directory, but it ends the same. The shotwell.log file contains only the following two lines: L 14195 2011-02-19 10:16:52 [MSG] main.vala:61: Verifying database ... L 14195 2011-02-19 10:16:53 [MSG] VideoSupport.vala:373: interpreter state cookie not found; assuming all video thumbnails are out of date Given this is the latest stable version, I'm reporting it here for now ;) Kind Regards -- Mike PS: my shotwell 0.6.1 won't start because it doesn't find libexiv2 anymore, and rebuilding it needs an older version of Vala, I have installed shotwell 0.8.1 from the ArchLinux package PPS: I'm the one who bugged you about this on twitter under @m8t _______________________________________________ Shotwell mailing list [email protected] http://lists.yorba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/shotwell
