solarian Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 Hi! I have one more Kaffeine problem (just after fixing the last)! 0.6 version Every time when I quit it after opening a video, it still remains as a process (I see it through $top, besides it takes 97% of my cpu). Every time I terminate it through $killall Of course, a solution would be to use another player (I like mplayer), but still I'd like to know if there is some fix for this problem, because Kaffeine all in all is a nice player. Any input on this? thanx! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 Just reporting that it also happens here as well with 2005LE... Not under Arch 0.7 though, so it might be an issue with the current kaffeine package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solarian Posted June 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 What do you think I'm running if not 2005? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 Solarian, I'm just downloading 0.6 now to see if I can replicate the problem that you're experiencing. I'm gonna try it on 10.1 OE and also on LE2005, and I'll update you shortly..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianw1974 Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Still working on this. Got a load of dependencies to install, and I cannot communicate with any PLF mirrors whatsoever!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 I've just installed kaffeine on 10.1 OE without any problems, and it works OK, and cleanly closes down too, without leaving anything in memory. I downloaded from their website http://kaffeine.sourceforge.net I think it was (since it's not in my urpmi repository). It did require that I install a load of dependencies, which seemed to be development libraries mostly. I also used this same download for the install on my LE2005 system, since it was an upgrade from 10.0 OE - 10.1 OE - LE2005 (long story why the 10.1, sound probs), rather than use the urpmi repository to install it. Again, there were those development dependencies to install. Anyway, I found that after installing and testing it, it all seemed to work perfectly fine. What I have noticed is the urpmi repository on LE2005 has 0.6-1, and the download I have is 0.6-2. I'm not sure whether you're running the LE2005 0.6-1 version, or whether it's 0.6-2, but if you are, might be worthwhile installing the 0.6-2 and see if this resolves your problem.....

solarian Posted June 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 wow, thanks for that extensive test, ianw! :) it's probably the rpm package that is to blame, I'll look for another rpm (ah, don't want to install all those dev packages) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Aww, what's wrong with all them devel packages :-) I noticed on LE2005, that kaffeine is still there in the task list, but 0% usage. All I can think is it's like a fast-start for when you launch it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solarian Posted June 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 except that on my pc it uses 97% cpu I'll just use mplayer for now, I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Or upgrade with lots of those devel packages you're not keen on :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
