Do you have a lot of audio or video files on that SD card? The only explanation I can see is the card is scanned for media content by mediascanner service (mediascanner2 in launchpad; this probably happens every time you insert it). This can tax the CPU a lot if the card has a lot of files on it.
In any case the problem is unrelated to unity-scopes-shell, so marking invalid in this project. ** Changed in: unity-scopes-shell (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity-scopes-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1568544 Title: Scopes are smoothest with no microSD card Status in unity-scopes-shell package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: I removed my microSD card for the first time on the day the OTA-10 update arrived. After the update, the scopes were smooth as silk and I thought this was as a result of the OTA. But after re-inserting the microSD card they are back to their normal way; smooth for a few minutes, jerky for a few minutes. Card: SanDisk 16GB Micro SD HC Scopes: Today, Apps, My Videos, Dictionary, Simon's Cat, Discerning Duck, Crafting, Command Line This is 100% reproducable on every ocassion now when I remove or insert the card and either symptom remains - ie, it's not something that just lasts a moment and then corrects itself. I have the Log Viewer app installed. I can upload any logs requested. Thanks!
