Public bug reported: Amarok appears to automatically rebuild it's collection periodically. Once this process is started, it is *extremely* difficult to stop, and all other work becomes impossible (because the hard disk is completely occupied, even running 'ps' from a non-X VT takes up to half a minute.)
The amarokcollectio---? process (which is responsible for this) has a nice value of '0'. Even increased, the problem persists because of the hard disk access issue. ** Affects: amarok (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- Automatic collection rebuilds make system completely unusable for minutes or hours without warning https://launchpad.net/bugs/58716 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
