Public bug reported: I have problems to run rhythmbox under xubuntu 6.06 because it is very slow. Using "strace rhythmbox", I get the following output:
(...) open("/dev/scd0", O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK|O_EXCL|O_LARGEFILE) = 25 ioctl(25, CDROM_DRIVE_STATUS, 0x7fffffff) = 2 close(25) = 0 ioctl(3, FIONREAD, [0]) = 0 gettimeofday({1159611039, 742724}, NULL) = 0 poll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN}, {fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=8, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=16, events=PO open("/dev/scd0", O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK|O_EXCL|O_LARGEFILE) = 25 ioctl(25, CDROM_DRIVE_STATUS, 0x7fffffff) = 2 close(25) = 0 gettimeofday({1159611044, 284712}, NULL) = 0 gettimeofday({1159611044, 284824}, NULL) = 0 ioctl(3, FIONREAD, [448]) = 0 read(3, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"..., 448) = 448 gettimeofday({1159611044, 285143}, NULL) = 0 poll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN}, {fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=8, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=16, events=PO writev(11, [{"GIOP\1\2\1\0\223\0\0\0", 12}, {"\340e\311\277\3\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\34\0\0\0\0\0\0\0j\256$0\ futex(0x81afeb8, FUTEX_WAKE, 1) = 1 open("/dev/scd0", O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK|O_EXCL|O_LARGEFILE) = 25 (...) It seems that rhythmbox tries to get the status of the cdrom-drive endlessly often. If I put a cdrom in the drive, rhythmbox can be used without any problems. I try to unistall and reinstall rhythmbox again and I deleted all config-files in my home-directory, but the problem can't be fixed. ** Affects: rhythmbox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- problems with rhythmbox and xubuntu 6.06 https://launchpad.net/bugs/63143 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
