Hey, I've had a recent discovery on this bug. When running ktorrent recently, I noticed that ktorrent spawned instances of mplayer that was using 100% of system resources. My laptop was overheating and it eventually locked-up. I rebooted, loaded up ktorrent again and the process began over again. No amount of kill -9 ### helped, as mplayer was being launched several times a second by the time I knew its process number another one had loaded. A little googling around and I figured out that it's *trackerd* that's spawning mplayer, not ktorrent. So I went into System->Preferences->Indexing Preferences and turned off all tracker features. I killed trackerd too. All is going well now.
So you might want to check to see if your ktorrent download is causing trackerd to strangle your computer. -- system locks up or powers down randomly, since 22-14 kernel update https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/152202 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
