[opensuse-kde] kmix and multimedia files: cpu to 100%
Hi all, yesterday I updated my KDE 4.6.2 using the K:R:46 repository. kmix was not involved in the update. However, now I have the following problem: amarok and kmix are launched at login and if I play a mp3 file, kmix goes to 100% of a cpu until I kill it, even if I close amarok. The same problem occurs using smplayer or vlc to play the same file. Please note that I had no problems before yesterday playing the same file (or completely different one, like a flv file) using amarok, smplayer or vlc. Do you have some idea on how to track/solve this problem?

Try if disabling pulseaudio helps. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

Yes, it helps. But if I enable again pulseaudio, the problem comes back. Regards, Andrea -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
Some time back, with an older version of KDE, a user complained that every time they rebooted, they need to kill kmix as it is using 50% of the available processing power. This usually translate to an app using 100% on one core. A KDE forum thread is here: http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=202&t=92206&p=188681&hilit=kmix#p18873 In the end the solution they adopted was: killall -9 kmix rm -rf $(kde4-config --localprefix)/share/apps/kmix/ rm -f $(kde4-config --localprefix)/share/config/kmix* kmix & I can not say whether that will help or work, but I thought that I would pass it on for you to consider/investigate. === On 04/28/2011 12:17 PM, Andrea Turrini wrote:

killall -9 kmix rm -rf $(kde4-config --localprefix)/share/apps/kmix/ rm -f $(kde4-config --localprefix)/share/config/kmix* kmix &

I tried and now I can use pulseaudio, kmix and vlc/amarok/smplayer without problems. I have not deleted files, but only moved them, so I suppose I can test again the problem, if needed. Now I want to check whether the problem comes back... Regards, Andrea -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
