Ubuntu :: Rhythmbox Stalls System - Consumes All Memory
Sep 1, 2010
Rhythmbox stalls my computer. I start it and within 10-20 seconds it starts to search something (i.e. in the right bottom there appears a box with a red box sliding left and right). It consumes all my memory (1 giga) and the only thing it does is identify text files in a general directory, NOT in Music. I have completely removed the install, installed it again, the same text files earlier IDed are still there? Is there an alternative?
Computer details: Intel dual core, Nvidia, 64 bit Lucid. The flaw is that it runs on single memory.

My Ubuntu consumes too much memory. I have checked it with memstat and have found a lot of lines like these:

There are more than 480 lines like this! What are these fontconfigs for? Where do they come from?

I am using ubuntu 10.10 with gnome desktop on a desktop computer (pentium 4 cpu with 1 Gb memory), and when I use OpenOffice Impress, convert opens up and uses most of my cpu power. Even worse, after closing OpenOffice and all instances of nautilus, convert stays in memory and keeps using most of my cpu power (between 30 and 75 %, acccording to system monitor.Is it normal ? How could I set up my computer to limit convert cpu usage, and to unload from memory after being used.

My computer has 4GB installed but for some reason I could only see the 2 of the 4. At first I thought that this was because the XEN virtual operating system manager was running but even after I turned it off the problem exists. I could only see and use the 2GB of memory.
Code:
free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 1914 1874 39 0 9 295
-/+ buffers/cache: 1570 343
Swap: 2062 1934 128

I am having a php script which is used for bulk mailing. I run the script every minute through cron job. I have mentioned the path of the php script in a .sh file and execute the .sh file through cron job. Every time i run the script it utilizes high memory which results to server crash. how to restrict memory usage for that process to be a minimum one or how to set priority to be low for that process so that it is executed when there is no high priority jobs, so that the server runs normally without going down when the script runs

I have 11.3 Gnome installed on a Dell Optiplex380, and I can fully shutdown, but the system hangs when I try to Restart. The Geeko logo is there and the white bar retracts, once it hits all gray it stays there until I force a hard-shutdown holding the computer power-button.What steps can I take to fix this or start troubleshooting?

I've been using Rhythmbox for a while now and I've noticed that it begins to gobble up all the available memory - forcing me to restart it. I think I finally figured out why - Daap share and skip. All my music is on a share and when I skip through it (I have it on random and usually need to do about 5 skips before I find the next song I want to hear) Rhythmbox's memory usage skyrockets. Is this fixed in a newer version? Using Rhythmbox 0.12.5 on Karmic 9.10.

Is there a system admin tool for RHEL on montioring and logging system memory used and released that can dump to a log file?I'm having an issue with memory not being released when an application is closed. I need to have a tool monitor and log so I can troubleshoot to verify that it's an application not the OS.

Lately, when I go to the top panel, click on 'places', then click on any of the folders (documents, pictures, etc.), ubuntu opens rhythmbox music player. In order to open any of the other folders, i must first go to 'places', then to 'file system', & then to the desired folder. My system didn't always do this.

I am not sure as to why but rhythmbox actually freezes the system. I am unable to get into another desktop by pressing control-alt-F1, F2 etc. I am not sure how to diagnose this problem. The window loads, and then the system just crashes. According to the software Manager I am using version 0.12.8-1.43

i noticed few times that my ram usage in gnome increases high. So i found that python is using more than 500 MB Ram. Normally i didn�t notice this python. What does it do?
I am not sure, but i think that these increasing has something to do with skype/empathy (i think it grows after using this programs...
So, i killed the process and ram usage is normal.

I've had this problem recently. Whenever I open an open office.org document from a cifs/SAMBA share as I navigate through it my laptop will lock up, and by lock up I mean so bad that I can't even move the mouse. If I let it sit for anywhere from 30 seconds to 2 minutes it will come out of it. Trying to navigate through the document again will trigger a similar episode.
I finally got fed up and opened a terminal with top and set it to always on top, then I opened my samba share, opened my spreadsheet. and proceeded to trigger my problem. When the lockup happened it was so bad and so quick that top stopped updating and I wasn't even able to see something creep up in CPU usage. As it came out of it top started updating in bursts, first ksoftirqd/0 was at 100%, then that dropped to near nothing, then xorg spiked to 100%, then the system returned to normal.
I googled around an found lots of speculation, and bug reports that were way above my head. Some of the speculation suggested it was a kernel issue, but that has supposedly been fixed. Another forum post said that it was a multi-processor issue. (the guy was running it in a vm so he just removed the vCPU) And yet another suggested a network issue/attack. I am running a Dell Latitude D620 with a dual core Intel proc and a Broadcomm network card (wired) and an Intel wireless card. I have all the latest updates. The shares I experience this issue with (only shares I really use) are on a Netapp and are active directory integrated (my laptop is not joined to the domain)

I have Mythbuntu 10.04 installed on an exclusive HTPC and working great... until tonight. After letting the system update some packages (161 packages if I remember right), I suddenly have an issue where the graphical system won't start. After researching I found three error messages that might be causing that.
1. At the start of splash screen I see "UUID=xxxxxxxCD7 not ready yet or not present" I checked in /etc/fstab and found that this is the swap partition. I don't remember seeing this before so this could be the culprit.
2. I'm not at the computer in question right now but I saw a Plymouth error about "mountall" and then the message "plymouth command failed". Not sure if this could be the main error.
3. after a while (usually ca. 1-2 min) I receive thousands of errors of the kind "out of memory"... "kill process XXXX" (process vary wildly e.g. dbus-daemon, mysql, etc)... "process killed"..."respawning"
After error 3, I'm not able to switch to graphical console (ctrl-alt-F7). If I was in the graphical console at this moment, I simply can't switch to the CLI console. I'm always afraid of updating my system since I've seen lots of things breaking afterwards (usually the proprietary graphic drivers) but this is really strange.

I have a virtual server with debian and since last Friday a problem. The server is running normally. All sites hosted show no problems. But If I logon via ssh is the CPU usage of all cores goes to 100%. A simple cd (change dir) then takes about 90 seconds. using top or htop bash is the top scorer. Unfortunately I have absolutely no approach what I have to change here or where the misconduct comes from.

Whenever I click minimize in rhythm box, it just goes to its own box in the bottom bar like most programs. But when i click the X while music is playing, it keeps playing, but it just disappears. The sound button has no options other than volume, and the only way to bring rhythmbox back up is starting it back up. Why doesn't it minimize to the sound button like its supposed to?

I am using the rather old openSUSE 11.0 with no plans of upgrading to 11.3 as of now. My system is also 5+ years with a P4 2.66GHz but with 2.5Gb ram. HD videos are utilizing 100% cpu and the video also keeps shaking. Neither does any other app work during this time. I cannot even stop the player. I've tried mplayer, smplayer, vlc, totem, gnome-player --- all with the same result.
But windows XP utilizes about 60% cpu and so no such problems. I also have ubuntu 7.10 installed and even mplayer here uses 100% cpu. Also not a troublesome issue but XP has higher volume.

I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 (64bit) on my Thinkpad X220. When I watch flash videos I see that Xorg consumes a lot of resources (CPU time). Flash videos in full screen are extremely choppy. Playing videos with Mplayer, for example, is no problem at all. Any ideas how this can be fixed? I found lots of posts by other people with similar problems but they had different graphics cards so their solutions were not applicable in my case.
Code:
Linux montana 2.6.38-8-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 03:31:24 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

we were watching Clint Eastwood in Pink Cadillac on DVD. Earlier, I had been checking out the streaming internet radio on my roommates Mint laptop using Rhythmbox, and found it to be pretty cool. Usually, if I stream any music, it's just from the CBC (like the U.S.'s NPR), so I just stream it directly from them, but all the stations on rhythmbox (there's a whack of them) got me interested. At the start of Pink Cadillac, I proposed myself a challenge: Could I manage to get rhythmbox (a GNOME application) to work on my Slack64 -current box, before the movie ended? There's probably (maybe?) a similar app that installs and works more natively on Slack, but that's not the point; I wanted to try installing rhythmbox in < 2 hrs. Well, I got it installed finally, *just* at the end of the movie credits, but it won't play! And sometimes it segfaults. So, I wonder if anyone has any tips about what I might be missing or whatever.
Here's what I typically get when I first start it up (though it starts & runs OK):
Code:
sasha@reactor: rhythmbox
Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0".
(rhythmbox:15745): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: IA__gdk_pixbuf_get_width: assertion `GDK_IS_PIXBUF (pixbuf)' failed
(rhythmbox:15745): Rhythmbox-WARNING **: Unable to grab media player keys: Could not get owner of name 'org.gnome.SettingsDaemon': no such name
[code].....
Seems even on systems with some sort of 'natural' support for installing this thing, a lot of people are getting the same or very similar errors, but I haven't found a solution (obviously - I wouldn't be posting otherwise ) but people, myself included, have discovered that there doesn't seem to be a 100% accurate list of *required* dependencies for rhythmbox; it needs stuff that it doesn't tell you it needs.
EDIT: Disclaimer (just to cut the 'dependency-hell' arguments off at the pass, so to speak): This is just a fun experiment for me. I don't suggest Slackware newbies start trying to install <xyz Gnome application> into their Slackware boxes unless you want to spend HOURS fixing stuff like this, and you want to have fun doing it, and have it maybe bork your box up. And if you *do* decide to try it anyways, don't blame Slackware for giving you dependency hell. Gnome doesn't come with Slackware (here's the ChangeLog). I like Slackware exactly the way it is - it comes with more than enough apps to satisfy most people, all nicely working out of the box, so installing stuff like this is not really necessary - but I'm choosing to do this one anyway, and am not deterred by this "mess" of stuff.If this dependency stuff isn't your 'cup of tea', an 'automatically-dependency-resolving' distro might be better for you; I prefer to mess my machine up on my own, rather than let my package manager do it for me.

Is there something similar to the windows TSR thing in Linux? (terminate & stay resident)
The reason I ask is that after replacing my HD and reinstalling Maverick I've noticed the PC freezing up afew times. It seems that memory gets used up and then doesnt free up after the application is closed. The last couple of times this happened today I was doing
1. Copying a number of photos from my flash drive to the HD
2. Burnt a disk with Brasero.
After doing this it froze and I had to crash the system and reboot. I don't remeber this happening before.
Apart from this memory problem it's working OK I think. My system specs are below
Code:
mbdb@M2000:~$ sudo lshw
m2000
description: Notebook
product: Presario M2000 (EK823EA#ABU)
vendor: Hewlett-Packard

in this example, my memory 993.4 MiB memory is said to have 575.9 MiB of it used and 163.4MiB of my 2.8 GiB swap memory used. but in my processes tab, the most memory hogging program is 98.3 MiB, and Pidgin, 25.9 MiB, and 18.9 MiB, 14.9, 6.2,6.1,5.2,3.4,3.3,1.8,1.8,1.7, etc. I'm certain these don't add up to 575.9 MiB so where is all this extra memory usage coming from?
also, why is data measured in MiB?

I have a problem with recognising my mobile phone's memory card in Ubuntu 9.10. When I plug the phone in it starts the mass storage mode, but nothing happens in the PC. I suspect that I may have deleted phone's icon from the desktop, and I don't know how to bring it back. Also the memory card doesn't appear anywhere: nor in the Places tab, nor in Media folder.The phone is Samsung U900 Soul.

I just installed Fedora 13 onto a "new" (to me) box, and everything seems mostly fine, except that I only seem to be able to use about 900.2 MiB of 991.4 MiB of RAM memory, according to System Monitor. I haven't set up a swap partition yet, so the problem became very, very, very obvious. When I get to about 890 MiB usage, everything goes very quickly downhill, locking up, etc. The peak I saw was 900.2 MiB. What's going on? Does this have anything to do with the system being 64-bit? Might the memory be bad?

Can I add memory to the Linux box without rebooting the system? I think Linux check the hardware at booting time. But if I need to add more memory to the server while I do not want to stop the service. Is there some method to make Linux use the new added memories?

I have a new lenovo thinkserver hardware. I was configuring my newly installed kernel (slackware 13.1 - kernel 2.6.33.4) maybe to weeks now. I was testing the configuration of the kernel parameters.Suddenly out of the blue my BIOS started to report memory error. I have 6 Fully buffered memories in pairs. Four has no advanced ECC and two supports ECC.It is possible to damage the memory by some wrong kernel configuration???I cannot believe that this is possible but I cannot see any other explanation how can a two weeks old hardware get wrong.
