Current problems (ie. help sought from the brains trust)
Howdi,
Okay, first up, 2.4.2 is much much better than 2.4.2, and part of
that for me was shifting back to an nVidia grunty desktop, from
an intel-chipset laptop.
The following are all suffixed with a '... anyone else seeing this,
and/or have any ideas on how to resolve?'.
Sometime in the last several days, an update to unstable (looks
like only some xserver bits and libraries I don't recognise) causes
my desktop to lockup briefly, plasma/kwin crash, usually on flip-box
task-switching (alt-tab).
File-open dialogs now don't respect the single-click to navigate
thru directories, select files, etc. This seemed to happen a few
weeks back I think.
Amarok 2 hit me, though this is possibly my own fault. It crashes
consistently(!) every time I let it run for a few minutes, and it
looks like it's about 3-5% of the way through indexing my audio
collection. I fear this means it's a one-way street from the last
version, short of snotting the amarok db and pushing back to
testing versions of amarok. Audio collection is 93GB (1200 dirs,
17000 files, on a dm-crypted local fs).
It also seems desperately eager to use gstreamer, which is installed
on this box, but doesn't produce any actual noise (from the few
minutes at a time that I can experiment with it).
That'll do for now -- as usual, many thanks to anyone who can
at least empathise or even better, offer some answers. ;)
Jedd.
