  1. It did for me as well! I It seems that the problem must be related to SqLite in some way.MySql is so much faster, so actually I'm quite happy that I had this problem which forced me to change :)
  2. Not really. Amarok starts amarokapp and gives the following output: [tryfan@tryfan ~]$ amarok Amarok: [Loader] Starting amarokapp.. Amarok: [Loader] Don't run gdb, valgrind, etc. against this binary! Use amarokapp. kdecore (KAction): WARNING: KAction::insertKAccel( kaccel = 0x809cad8 ): KAccel object already contains an action name "play_pause" QLayout "unnamed" added to QVBox "unnamed", which already has a layout kdecore (KAction): WARNING: KAction::insertKAccel( kaccel = 0x809cad8 ): KAccel object already contains an action name "play_pause" QLayout: Adding KToolBar/mainToolBar (child of QVBox/unnamed) to layout for PlaylistWindow/PlaylistWindow QObject::connect: Incompatible sender/receiver arguments StarManager::ratingsColorsChanged() --> ContextBrowser::ratingOrScoreOrLabelsChanged(const QString&) QColor::setRgb: RGB parameter(s) out of range [tryfan@tryfan ~]$ I don't know how to get any output from amarokcollectionscan, except in collection_scan.files and collection_scan.log, and I've never seen any problems in those.
  3. I have a big problem with two of my computers (one desktop and one laptop) since upgrading them to 2008.1 (Spring). The Amarok collection scan seems to run normally up to 12 - 25%. After that it hangs, and the cpu gets very hot. I then have to use ksysguard to shut the amarok processes down. My other two computers still run 2008.0, and they have no problem to scan the same collection (just over 30,000 songs on a NFS-mounted server). Also, if I reinstall 2008.0 on the two troublesome computers, they will also scan without problem. I don't know if the prooblem is related to Amarok, SQlite or something else, Haven't tried MySql, since I find it a bit challenging... As I see it, I have two ways out of this: 1) Find a fix for the Amarok problem. (The best, since both machines work beautifully otherwise). 2) Run 2008.0 on both. Not good, since there are a lot of driver issues. (Sound on both, and graphics on the laptop). Besides, 2008.1 is a LOT nicer. Ideas, anyone? /goran j

    k3b weirdness

    I have exactly same problem with 2008.1.
  5. Video sounds like a good guess, but it might also be related to the network card, or USB. Try to with unplugging / exchanging things and see if it disappears.
  6. You're probably right - I had no problems installing the same version (1.4.6) from source./goranj
  7. After installing the latest update packages to 2007 Spring, I find that I no longer can start Amarok. This has so far happened on two different computers - I will wait with my third :-) I get this error message: amarokapp: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libamarok.so.0: undefined symbol: _ZN9KLineEdit17mouseReleaseEventEP11QMouseEvent Any ideas? /goranj
  8. Sound really promising. It might mean that KDE 4.1 can be ready for the Spring edition.At the whole, it may be a milestone release - if everything works :-) Also a lot of standarization and usability stuff that seem interesting - like the printer utilities in the menu; a small thing, but really irritating.
  9. Well, that's exactly the problem - if you *don't* have a built-in card (like me).I was depending on LinuxAnt up until Mdv 2007.0 (which supported all three cards I have). LinuxAnt was OK as a last resort, but I'm really glad to be rid of it.
  10. Wow. Well, it's way out my league, then :o
  11. As long as you don't touch win_c and win_d you should be safe. Then, I would try deleting win_e (if you're sure you don't need the data on that partition), and the linux partitions. You would then have a rather large continous part of disk that you can split any way you wan't, and with whatever filesystems you want. (I would suggest a larger partition for swap than you have now, though, at least one GB). But if I were you, I would wait for other opinions - there might be better solutions :P
  12. Did you try with another mouse, and got the same problem?
  13. I have the D-Link DWL-G122 adapter, and it works rather OK with Spring. That is, it installs without problems, and runs fine - as long as you're not too far from the router. If there is a ZD1211 chip in the Zyxel card (as scarecrow thinks), that one should install fine as well. I have a 3Com 3crusb10075 with a zd1211, and it's a really great adapter - the range is much better than the D-link (of course, that may not be just because of the chip).
  14. What kind of action is it that you try to do, and what happens when you do it?
  15. I'm afraid that's the way it's going :sad: Not very ;) I tend to keep some old stuff at hand, though. I haven't used my VCR in years, but I won't throw it away, either. Heck, I even got a brand new 5 1/4" floppy disk player somewhere :D
  16. Let's not forget the ~6,600 million outside the UK ;) I really hope that you're right and that I'm wrong, but I'm not sure that the BBC will agree.
  17. I'm not saying that I buy their excuses, I'm just saying that DRM is the issue, and that they probably never will make the stuff available until there is a DRM system that works well enough not to make it a problem.Btw, I think they will try to stop the TV recording loophole as well. I fear that almost everything will be DRM'd within a few years (but I hope I'm wrong).
  18. I know I'm going off on a tangent - but what about all non-British watchers?Is there really a solution that would support DRM on a global scale on, let's say, Linux? I know Linus personally finds DRM acceptable, but, as far as I now, we're not there yet. And I think it's the DRM that's the problem in this case, not the platforms as such. (Just to make it perfectly clear - I *don't* support DRM).

    Remove KDE

    Seems you sort found your first virus ;) That should be the copy of the install DVD. Handy to have, since you don't have to change disks when you install new software, but you can live without it - especially if you're short of space. Don't know if it's practical to just erase them though?

    Remove KDE

    Of course it's easier to delete the files. I think though (as I said before) that it might be worth the extra trouble to create a saner setup. (Something tells me that, if you find 17 GB of unknown files on your disk, that some of the "tweaking" that was done may not have been perfect anyway :-) ) But of course it's up the user - I'm just saying that it's perfectly doable without destroying the windows partitions.

    Remove KDE

    You don't have to lose your windows partitions, they will not be affected at all if you split up your linux partition. (And I don't think the performance will be affected, either way). All you have to do is to transfer your *important data* (that is, data that you have created or added yourself, to your user directory) to another disk or DVD, and then do a new install with a new partitioning. Then, just copy the data back to your new "/home" partition. You may have to reinstall some programs, but otherwise everything should be OK.

    Remove KDE

    ?? Either, I didn't make myself clear, or otherwise you didn't read my post :-/ Of course, it's not to late. It's a bit of work, yes, but all he has to do is to save *the important files*. like images, text files, music and so on, to other media, then to do a reinstall and format the new partitions. He has a dumb setup now - why not help him to make it better?

    Remove KDE

    Of course, but that's not the point. The point is that when you have a separate /home partition, you can see what data belongs to what part, since he obviously doesn't know that now. And I suggest that it would be rather easy to fix - having "/home" separate makes it so much easier to handle in the long run that maybe it's worth the trouble. And, of course, you don't have to have 12 GB for the "/" partition; that's just if you allow yourself the luxury to copy the contents of the DVD to disk (which I usually do).

    Remove KDE

    I agree with AussieJohn. The problem lies with your partitioning, not with KDE. I would suggest that you backup all your personal files to another disk (borrow one if you have no extra space, or burn it all to DVD's) and do a complete reinstall. If you want plenty of space, you can make a "/" partition of, let's say, 12 GB, and a "/home" partition of 18 GB. This time, if you don't want KDE, only check "Gnome" when you choose which desktop to install. You might wind with some KDE libraries anyway, but the size will be insignificant.

    Remove KDE

    This must be totally wrong - there's no way that the system would use 17 GB, even if you copy the whole DVD to disk. It shouldn't take more than ~10 GB including the DVD copy. What does the command "df" say? (That is, if you run df <enter> in a terminal window)?
