I'm getting this too, with: ubuntu dapper 6.06 KDE 3.5.2 (kubuntu-desktop package installed) Amarok 1.4.1 - official package from: deb http://kubuntu.org/packages/amarok-141 dapper main
Upon starting amarok, I see my memory usage start to slowly go way up... and then amarok starts using 52% of my CPU while not playing or doing anything! Putting my mouse over the window always shows the busy cursor. I can play music and then it takes about 52-80%. After attempting to close amarok, the window exits, but i can still see 'amarokapp' running and *still* using my CPU and memory. To get it to shut down, i need to kill it. I've also noticed problems with shutting down/logging out after starting amarok, possibly from the non-dying amarokapp. -- Amarok 1.3.1 from breezy updates uses all available CPU https://launchpad.net/bugs/23289 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
