Ubuntu Multimedia :: Songbird Search Takes Ages To Give Result
Jan 6, 2010
I really am a great fan of Songbird, but there's one thing that keeps annoying me: searching my music collection. I have about 12k songs (67GB) in my library, and using the search bar is pretty much a disaster: whatever I type it takes ages to come up with something, and if I delete any of the written to enter something new it hangs for like five minutes. This sort of forced me to look for specific songs myself or just keep it going on shuffle, none of which is a good solution.
I believe the problem is that songbird searches after every single typed character instead of waiting until I'm finished, which is a cool feature with smaller amounts of data to look through, but in my case it's just annoying and pointless. How to disable this feature? I am using Songbird 1.2.0, Build 1146.

When printing web pages or PDF files in Ubuntu 10.04 to a network printer using CUPS, files are blown out to huge sizes - over 200Mb for a 30Mb PDF document and over 70Mb for a simple web page with 6 images and some text. Its holding up everyone else in our office who, through Windows XP are printing the same files in about a 20th of the time it takes Ubuntu+CUPS. I have tried printing directly to the printer, printing through the Win2003 PDC share, printing with LPR (which coincidentally generates a bit smaller ps file) and printing with Adobe Reader instead of evince

have a strange problem with evolution attachments: they take ages to save. I just received a 7 MB daily and it took about 3 minutes (!) until it completed the saving process.to be clear, the problem isn't downloading the email with the attachment from the mailserver. the problem exists AFTER the email has been downloaded from the server to my evolution inbox and I try to use the "save as..." option.it almost looks like evolution is trying to "download" the file from my local harddrive to my local harddrive (yes, this sentence is correct), and it's doing that at extremely low speed.

I have just 4 minor things with Ubuntu 10.04 (64-bit)
1) Sometimes the disk checker runs at startup. Why does it take so long to finish? On the previous version of Ubuntu, it was a quick check, but now on version 10.04 it takes AGES just to check the disk!
2) Why do some programs like Kega Fusion only play sound if you run it on its own with no other programs open? Try the Linux version of Kega Fusion with and without other programs open: [URL]
3) Who do I ask if I would like a hardware device supported? I have a SIM card reader (Veho VSD-229) and I can only use it in Windows to back up my SIM card contacts.
4) Last question. Is there a Ubuntu "wishlist" anywhere?

On Lucid, using the nVidia proprietary drivers, the panel takes about 15-20 seconds to load after loging in. Everything else works fine, I can use my desktop shortcuts and open other programs, just the panel leaves an empty space at the top and bottom, until it loads.
I don't have this problem on a laptop with Intel graphics running Lucid, nor when using Nouveau drivers on this computer. I read somewhere that it could be due to gdmsetup not having it's config file, but even after trying the suggested workaround (opening gdmconfig and changing settings so the config file is made) the problem persists. If I run "killall gnome-panel" the panel disappears (not surprisingly) and then briefly pops back up before disappearing again for about 10 seconds.
Could this be something to do with Compiz? With the Nouveau drivers Compiz is disabled, so Compiz is the only thing I can think of that affects the panel differently between the two graphics drivers.

I'm having issues with my broadcom BCM4313 wireless adapter. Everything works just fine when connected (with additional drivers & Connman), but it takes about 5 minutes to connect to my network when i just started my computer! When resuming from hibernation it goes very quick though, so just when I boot my pc it's taking forever...This is what I found in the dmesg output:
Code:
[ 16.778057] eth1: Broadcom BCM4727 802.11 Hybrid Wireless Controller 5.60.48.36
[ 16.808768] type=1400 audit(1295859939.727:2): apparmor="STATUS" operation="profile_load" name="/sbin/dhclient3" pid=833 comm="apparmor_parser"

So basicly I just installed Ubuntu 11.04 and I am experiencing something I always experience when I install Ubuntu. I will be using a window and then when I switch to another window it will randomly crash and it takes me ages to be able to close it down, sometimes I can never close the window down. This has stopped me from being able to use any version of Ubuntu on my computer which is disappointing because I really love Ubuntu.
I have no idea how to fix this issue at all, I have downloaded drivers for Linux from the Nvidia website but I get a window saying it cant be opened, and no surprise after many efforts I can't even close that window. Its a .run file so I don't know if I have to run it via terminal? I am fed up of not being able to use Ubuntu because these windows freezing is making it unbearable to use.

when I am pressing the shut down button inside kde I receive this nice black screen with the green status messages indicating what was done successfuly. At the unmounting file systems though I have to wait for a 20-30mins duration to finished. I have two or three network shares but even a timeout would not take more than 1 min to appear.

I have laptop with Mobility Radeon HD3200 graphics. Gnome 3 works more or less fine until I start Skype. When Skype is running switching between the windows is a pain in the a$$. The screen flickers, looks crappy, takes ages to refresh, etc. Anyone experience similar things? I also noticed that when I start yumex I also get the screen doing the same things as with Skype, but to a much lesser extent and only for a few seconds. Could it be related to the network connection? Running F15 64

i got intel inside. when grabbing windows and moving them around they "streaked "(right word ?) over the monitor. Desktop-experience was simply "sluggish". I searched for all kind of info on this board. e.g.: installed preload, intel-microcode, set Xwrapperconfig to -1; -5, -10. tried some changes with swappines and cache_pressure in sysctl.conf. without knowing what it might be good for i ran prelink -a. For about a week it simply rocks: all is "sharp" and clean, including the move of windows. How come? does preload take such a long time ( a few months) to give such an amazing result? Is it related to graphics at all? I upgraded to ext4 bout 4 weeks ago (which takes a while too, from what i have read). intel-microcode doing magic? With the money i got chances are high that the pc`s i buy are intel-inside ones. and with a build-in graphics-card

I want to search files (basically .cc files) in /xx folder and subfolders. Those files (*.cc files) must contain #include "header.h" AND x() function. Clearly, I wanna list of *.cc files that have 'header.h' & 'x()'. They must have two strings.
I tried several ways, and got only files with header.h OR x(). Some examples given in Internet doesn't give any result in my system. I am using Fedora 8.0 in my PC and I have grep 2.5.1 version.

Every time I need to find a file and then open it, I have to use :
find ./ -name **.properties. , then copy the result, and then vi "paste the result here" .
If I need to use a mouse, it can be a little trouble. So is there any better way to do this?

I noticed that every, say, 5 times I boot CentOS 5.4, a find search is initiated that takes several hours.
For example:
find . -name rd=rmdir -print
I'm not sure if it's related, but, I do have a "alias rd=rmdir" in my .aliases. Would changing it to "alias rd=/bin/rmdir" avoid this problem? I'm using zsh. Is this search necessary?

I'm well aware of Songbird no longer being supported for Linux but I know there is .deb package out there somewhere. Hopefully in the latest release for Linux as well. 've searched but have found nothing. The thing is, I can't find anything 'I like' other than Songbird. It's such a shame its no longer supported.

I know, Songbird does not currently support Linux... I got the x64 .deb file off this website (http://skyzim.com/songbird-1-4-3-installer/) and installed it without issue. I got it up and running then screwed something up with the graphics and needed to reinstall. Now when I get the same file off the website, install it, then try to run I get an error "GLib-ERROR **: /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.24.1/glib/gmem.c:157: failed to allocate 14145530384 bytes". I tried doing a sudo apt-get remove libvisual-0.4-plugins as was recommended elsewhere to no avail. Anyone know how to get songbird up and running again? I did a "Removal" through synaptic to uninstall the first time, perhaps that is an issue?

I've been having problems with the Songbird client that we normally download from repositories. It is slow, unstable, and crashes a lot. So I finally figured out that if you download the latest developer version, it is fast, stable, and hasnt crashed yet! The only downside is not all plugins are compatible, but it is still awesome to use, its my favorite audio player in Ubuntu. [URL]

I recently installed the newest version of Songbird, it worked for two days. Now when I click Songbird, it tells me it's starting down in the Window List, but it never pops up. I've tried all three methods from here to install it afterwards... none of them I got to work. Anyone have a clue what could possibly going on? This is on Ubuntu 9.10(32bit)

I have recently switched from Banshee to Songbird, and am loving it. Especially now that there is a ppa for it, which I just discovered. However, i have tried to download an addon and a theme, and apparently it just told me to restart after installing, but it doesn't show up when I go to View>Feathers. It just shows the default theme, Gonzo. Has anyone had this problem, or knows how to fix it?

On both Karmic Koala as well as Lucid Lynx, I am having massive problems getting my nvidia card to register properly. I am on an Acer Aspire 5953 laptop pc with a Gt130m discrete GPU in a hybrid installation with an onboard GPU.Freshly installed, both 9.10 and 10.04 runs smoothly, I can enable desktop effects, I can even see the screensavers that run openGL - although they run laggily in fullscreen, since they're obviously using the onboard, and very weak, GPU.The problem however, appears whenever I install the suggested NVIDIA drivers that Ubuntu finds for me - after doing this, I am asked to reboot the system and on both systems, I am treated to a black screen, instead of a login-screen. The only way to get the system up and running again, I have found, is boot in fail safe mode and edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf, erasing everything. This lets me boot back up in a regular mode.
When I check the logs, both the onboard GPU and the gt130m GPU is located, the onboard as PCI:0:0:2:0 and the nvidia gt130m discrete gpu as PCI:0:1:0:0 - I have tried adding BusID: ("PCI:0:1:0:0") to the xorg.conf, too, to no avail. I am continously treated to the black screen (a flicker at most) and the logs always tells me that no xserver could find no screens.So far, I have only been installing Ubuntu inside windows - I am hesitating to install on a fresh drive, since I am afraid of the nvidia black screen putting me in a position where I can't access the system. Is it possible that the fact that I install ubuntu inside windows might somehow affect Linux's capability of accessing my discrete GPU?

I have 3 old video capture cards which I would like to use for CCTV. Each card supports 1 camera. So I would like to have 3 cameras setup in the end and monitor them with zoneminder. When each card is plugged in on it's own, it works fine. Video comes through clearly with xawtv and zoneminder. However as soon as I plug in a 2nd card (with or without a camera connected) the output in xawtv and zoneminder goes haywire. It looks like the 2nd card takes over the first card, resulting in majority of the picture coming from the 2nd card, and some (if any) from the 1st card. When viewing either of the two cards /dev/video0 or /dev/video1 in xawtv the output is identical. I've tried this on a fresh 10.04 Ubuntu install, and on an older MythTV debian computer, the same results. Here are lspci -vv outputs with 2 combinations of cards (same fuzzy output):
[URL]
My thoughts are because the capture cards are cheap (similar to winmodems), the problem may be in the software kernel modules not allowing room for other similar capture cards to run at the same time. Can anyone suggest me in the right direction? Do I need to setup some sort of memory allocation for each card manually? Something in the BIOS? An extra option when the card modules are loaded?

I am using qBitTorrent. But whenever i am trying to download, it is having few issues.
1. It takes a lot of time to start the download. Last night it did not even start to download even after 15 mins. But when i put the same torrent in utorrent in Win7 partition it started to download immediately.. can somebody point out what is going wrong?
2. do i need to keep the qBittorrent open all the time till it finishes.. Otherwise it is not downloading... But in my Win7, when i close it, it automatically docks itself to the task bar.. (hav been using Win for a long time.. thats why i am comparing it to Win.. )
