[Bug 70083] Re: aRTS uses 100% CPU and freezes whole computer on KDE startup

[Henry Cooper Avel]

Here's the actual message box:

** Attachment added: "CPU Overload?"
   http://librarian.launchpad.net/4960123/arts-overload.png

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: arts
  
  Using Kubuntu Desktop, upgraded from Ubuntu 6.06 to Ubuntu 6.10 via
  "update-manager -c".
  
  Whenever a KDE application calls aRTS (if I am in another Window
  Manager) or during aRTS startup (when I'm entering KDE) the system hangs
- for a few minutes. After that a message box appears saying "Sound System
- Error / Using 100% CPU - aborting" and an OK button.
+ for a few minutes. After that a message box appears saying "Sound Server
+ Fatal Error / CPU Overload - aborting" and an OK button.
  
  If I leave the message box alone I can use the system. If I click "OK"
  the system hangs again and, a few minutes later, the message box
  reappears.
  
  Seems like there's something wrong with aRTS or libarts. This didn't
  happen prior to upgrading from 6.06 to 6.10.
  
  I also noted that the libarts-ausiofile and the kdemultimedia packages
  weren't upgraded from 3.5.2 to 3.5.5 due to some dependencies not met.
  apt-get complains about the lack of various "-dev" packages that
  kdemultimedia and libarts-audiofile depend upon.
  
  I tried to uninstall kdemultimedia (wich is only a metapackage, so no
  problem) and libarts-audiofile to see if the aRTS-hanging problem went
  away. The problem, unfortunately, persists, but now I can't reinstall
  libarts-audiofile due to those dependency problems.
