MC26 on Ubuntu 18.04 Freezes

(1/3) > >>

ilektranik:
MC26 on Ubuntu 18.04 works normally if a bit sluggishly. My music collection is upwards of 7TB.

If you don't interact with it for somewhere between a few minutes to hours it freezes. No response. Won't close.

If MC26 is terminated via System Monitor it will close. Restarting, it works with the same issue.

When it gets sluggish you might try checking it's process to see if it's running out of some resource.
top from a command line can be useful.

You could try turning off thumbnailing to see if that's causing an issue.

MC26 doesn't get sluggish - it is sluggish. Opens immediately but doesn't respond to scrolling or playing for seconds. Play, pause and track change are noticeably not snappy ever.

This is on an octo-core 3 GHz I7-9700 machine with 32 GB of RAM and large drives nowhere near full.

EFI, Boot & LUKS/LVM System are on separate partitions on a 256 GB NVMe drive.

Root, Root 2 (for future OS tryout), Home, Tmp, Var & Swap (@ 2X RAM) are on separate LVM/LUKS partitions on a second NVMe 1 TB drive. Both NVMe drives have 10 GB unallocated space.

Largely FLAC with some mp3 music files are on a 10 TB WD Red rotating rust drive.

I have Conky running on the desktop and never exceed 15% of system resources - memory or processor. This iron is loafing with no noticeable issues on any other programs.

What is a rust drive?

Turn off audio analysis.

Spinning Rust. A HDD.

What DE are you running and what version of it?. I used to have problems with gnome, with not only JRiver, but *every* window that was customized entirely. It fixed itself over time. I'd recommend you try to upgrade to Ubuntu 20.04 or try a different DE and see if either of those fixes the issue for you too.
