Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: amarok
Hello,
I have a brand new installation of Ubuntu Hardy , with latest updates. I
am using KDE3 desktop from official mirrors. I noticed that Amarok is
constantly using from 5 to 12% of my CPU (Core Duo), no only durin my
session startup but all the time, even hours after my session start.
Amarok is configured to start with my KDE session, it starts eating CPU
as soon it starts. If I open amarok window, CPU load goes a bit higher,
then if I close window or minimize, it stops eating CPU at all. If I
open window again, CPU is used again.
Here is normal a normal strace (when it doesn't eat CPU) they happen 2/3 times
per second:
read(5, 0x808fa1c, 4096) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily
unavailable)
gettimeofday({1205076838, 246831}, NULL) = 0
select(26, [5 6 7 10 12 14 16 18 20 23 25], [], [], {0, 198383}) = 0 (Timeout)
gettimeofday({1205076838, 446532}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({1205076838, 446640}, NULL) = 0
read(5, 0x808fa1c, 4096) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily
unavailable)
gettimeofday({1205076838, 446780}, NULL) = 0
select(26, [5 6 7 10 12 14 16 18 20 23 25], [], [], {0, 198434}) = 0 (Timeout)
gettimeofday({1205076838, 646537}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({1205076838, 646738}, NULL) = 0
read(5, 0x808fa1c, 4096) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily
unavailable)
gettimeofday({1205076838, 646864}, NULL) = 0
select(26, [5 6 7 10 12 14 16 18 20 23 25], [], [], {0, 198350}) = 0 (Timeout)
gettimeofday({1205076838, 846538}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({1205076838, 846642}, NULL) = 0
Now when Amarok starts eating CPU, its spamming system calls like hundreds per
second:
gettimeofday({1205076930, 687552}, NULL) = 0
select(6, [5], [5], NULL, NULL) = 1 (out [5])
writev(5, [{">[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]"..., 4088}, {">[EMAIL
PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]"..., 28}], 2) = 4116
select(6, [5], [5], NULL, NULL) = 1 (out [5])
writev(5, [{">[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]"..., 4088}, {">[EMAIL
PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]"..., 28}], 2) = 4116
select(6, [5], [5], NULL, NULL) = 1 (out [5])
writev(5, [{">[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]"..., 4088}, {">[EMAIL
PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]"..., 28}], 2) = 4116
select(6, [5], [5], NULL, NULL) = 1 (out [5])
writev(5, [{">[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]"..., 4088}, {">[EMAIL
PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]", 28}], 2) = 4116
select(6, [5], [5], NULL, NULL) = 1 (out [5])
writev(5, [{">[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"..., 4088}, {">[EMAIL
PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]", 28}], 2) = 4116
gettimeofday({1205076930, 691621}, NULL) = 0
select(6, [5], [5], NULL, NULL) = 1 (out [5])
writev(5, [{">[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"..., 980}], 1) = 980
read(5, 0x808fa1c, 4096) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily
unavailable)
