Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 20019
kaiman broken
Last modified: 2008-05-01 11:37:59 EDT
kdemultimedia-2.0-1 Starting kaiman takes forever. Choosing a file to play (tested mp3 and au) and hitting the play button causes kaiman to freeze.
I can't reproduce this on a P3-750 with an SB 128 PCI card or on a P2-450 with a cheapo 16-bit ISA sb card. Make sure artsd is running and your soundcard is set up correctly.
arts is running and the soundcard is set up correctly (I get the kde startup sound at login). I have a Yamaha card (opl3sa2).
I tried to strace kaiman. First everything looks normal until it comes to the point <SNIP> read(3, "\2\3\0\0024\0\0\0", 8) = 8 read(3, "O\0\0\0", 4) = 4 read(3, "\0\0\0\vDCOPServer\0\0\0\0\20anonymous-203"..., 52) = 52 write(3, "\2\2\2\0]\0\0\0O\0\0\0", 12) = 12 write(3, "\0\0\0\20anonymous-20316\0\0\0\0\7kaiman\0\0"..., 64) = 64 write(3, "\0\0\0\r/home/gerald\0\0\0\0\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 29) = 29 read(3, "\2\5\0\2#\0\0\0", 8) = 8 read(3, "O\0\0\0", 4) = 4 read(3, "\0\0\0\7kaiman\0\0\0\0\20anonymous-20316\0\0"..., 35) = 35 read(3, "\2\6\0\0023\0\0\0", 8) = 8 read(3, "O\0\0\0", 4) = 4 read(3, "\0\0\0\7kaiman\0\0\0\0\20anonymous-20316\0\0"..., 51) = 51 At the last "read(3," the output will suddenly stop. The harddrive will start heavily working and kaiman will eat up 20% of CPU (PII 300) and 15% of my memory (96MB). After about a minute kaiman will put itself into the background and the main window pops up. I can choose a file to play, but as soon as I hit play, the harddrive starts heavily working again and artsd uses 10% CPU for about another minute. Then kaiman will display the file title and artsd will use 5% CPU. However, both kaiman and artsd are dead and can only be stopped using "kill -9".
kdemultimedia-2.0.1-1 kaiman now starts up normally, but hitting the play button still causes kaiman and artsd to crash as before. (Using xmms + the artsd plugin works fine)
works in kdenetwork-2.0.1-3
