| xubuntu73d | hi all | 12:20 |
|---|---|---|
| diogenes_ | hi | 12:21 |
| xubuntu73d | I am new to IRC, been stuck on Ubuntu 12.04 since it came out and I am thinking of changing the distro to Xubuntu, any thoughts? | 12:22 |
| diogenes_ | xubuntu73d, XD omg you still on 12.04? | 12:23 |
| xubuntu73d | Can't update it any more plus I read that i386 architecture would no longer be supported after 14 (if I am not mistaken) | 12:23 |
| xubuntu73d | @Diogenes, IKR!! | 12:23 |
| xubuntu73d | Well the machine was packed up for too long, by the time I decided to open it, the updates had overtaken me. figured its a lot less painful to try a different flavour | 12:24 |
| diogenes_ | xubuntu73d, well current xubuntu has both 32/64 bit so it should be working fine, one thing you could do is to make a dual boot, your current 12.04 and the newest one and see the difference. | 12:25 |
| xubuntu73d | Let me try that thank you | 12:26 |
| pmjdebruijn | I wonder why anybody would need 32bit support these days though | 12:48 |
| diogenes_ | pmjdebruijn, one quick thing that comes to mind is to support older printers/scanners that need 32 bit sane and other stuff | 12:50 |
| pmjdebruijn | oh eeek | 12:51 |
| pmjdebruijn | good point | 12:51 |
| pmjdebruijn | I might be faced with that myself actually :) | 12:51 |
| diogenes_ | yeah | 12:51 |
| Spass | something is wrong with 'tumblerd' process on my 18.04, it takes 4,4GB of RAM atm, closing Thunar (where I had some video files and image files, but not many) didn't help | 14:27 |
| Spass | ok, after some time that process closed itself, but still, 4,4GB was a bit much, something must be wrong there, any hints? | 14:29 |
| Spass | I wasn't doing much, just downloaded couple wallpapers and I'm downloading MP4 videos, 3 files were in the process of downloading (not completed), I've opened my Downloads folder and the thumbnails appeared on those unfinished files, maybe that caused this issue somehow? | 14:34 |
| diogenes_ | Spass, file manager preferences > Display > Show thumbnails is it set to local files only? | 14:35 |
| Spass | diogenes_, yup, and I think I had similar problem with tumblerd before (iirc not on this machine), some kind of memory leak | 14:37 |
| Spass | again, opened Thunar / Downloads and tumblerd RAM usage keeps rising, now it's 2,8GB :/ | 14:45 |
| Spass | nasty | 14:45 |
| Spass | and... 28% CPU | 14:46 |
| Spass | well, seems like it's a very old bug, this is a post from 2014 - https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/other/tumblerd-max-cpu-high-temperature/ | 14:51 |
| Spass | and I'm doing exactly that, I'm downloading some MP4 video files and my Downloads folder is open | 14:52 |
| Spass | and that bug is older than that post - 2012 or even earlier, that's sad | 14:54 |
| diogenes_ | weird i've never had that bug on any of my machines | 14:55 |
| Spass | seems like it's quite easy to reproduce, tumblerd just constantly tries to check that downloading file(s) if it changed and recreate a thumbnail for it | 14:57 |
| Spass | well, since this bug is that old and it's not fixed I assume it's really hard to do or nobody is developing tumblerd anymore | 14:59 |
| Spass | but at least I know now how to avoid this issue | 15:00 |
| === havenstance1 is now known as havenstance | ||
| Spass | diogenes_, if you're really interested I could send you a link what videos I'm downloading so you can check it yourself | 15:03 |
| Spass | but I don't think its necessary, duckduckgo says that I'm not the only one, unfortunately... | 15:03 |
| diogenes_ | Spass, ok let's see, what video? | 15:07 |
| Spass | diogenes_, download for example 3 MP4 files from here - https://archive.org/download/diggnation | 15:13 |
| diogenes_ | Spass, funny thing, i've just made tumbler to work a bit, it raised up to 144 MB but when it stopped the thumbnail stuff it didn't clean the memory | 15:13 |
| Spass | and have downloads folder opened in Thunar | 15:13 |
| diogenes_ | downloading diggnation---002--snowboarding--large.xvid.mp4 | 15:15 |
| diogenes_ | hehe is says it's 17.8M on the page but in real it's 53 MB | 15:16 |
| Spass | choose another file, that one is small | 15:16 |
| Spass | there are some 400-500MB MP4 there | 15:17 |
| diogenes_ | well with this small file in got tumblerd using 110 MB memory and average of 4% CPU | 15:18 |
| diogenes_ | a larger file i can try tomorrow at work but i don't think it will make a huge difference, we'll see | 15:18 |
| Spass | if you really want to test that, I'm downloading three 450MB files at once | 15:20 |
| Spass | anyway, no reason to bring that old bug here I guess, I'll just remember to not have opened folder while downloading | 15:21 |
| Spass | https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12259 | 16:11 |
| ubottu | bugzilla.xfce.org bug 12259 in General "tumblerd uses a lot of CPU and RAM" [Normal,New] | 16:11 |
| Spass | if someone is interested, I've added more info to the bug report above, you can't recreate it with Firefox for example | 17:07 |
