Hi all,
Just now, my FC5 system suddenly became unresponsive while i was
working and listening to some music with amarok. I ssh'ed from my
laptop to see what was going on. As you can see from the 'top' output
below, there were at least 88 amarokapp processes running which had
grabbed all available memory. There might have been more; these were
only as many as top could display in one terminal screen (with a tiny
font).
Anyone have any idea what went so horribly wrong? I don't mind it when
amarok crashes (as it does once in a while), but when it takes down my
whole system that is a real nuisance.
I am running v1.4.0
