it doesn’t matter which Blu-Ray drive I use. (I have a Pioneer BD-RW BDR-205 and a BDR-209D)
The problem is intermittent – just a big PITB at the moment since I’m ripping a large part of my CD collection to FLAC for a “you beaut” new music device, so this part of the system is getting a lot more use than usual. I may try stopping and re-loading K3B after each 4
or 5 CDs just to see if it may be some internal buffer that gets its knickers in a knot – I’ll follow up if it seems to be a fix.
Even when SSH is configured and active the machine is locked tight when the lock-up occurs (the only fix is to either switch off/on or to use the reset switch)
seems to be related to the reading of media, not writing
just to be difficult, I’ve got an Nvidia graphics card with the Nvidia proprietary drivers Gforce GTX-560
using leap 42.3 because when I tried to upgrade to 15, I kept getting a black screen lockup on boot – probably graphics related, but I couldn’t be stuffed trying to sort it after the third install attempt
probably not relevant, but the machine has an 8 core AMD CPU, 32GB RAM, a 6TB RAID 5 home filesystem and 2 ssd drives for system files
There have been previous posts by others with similar problems, so I’m fairly sure that I’m not unique
I’ve managed to work now for a *lot longer than previously without a lock-up
The difference is that I am stopping and re-starting K3B after ripping about 5-6
CDs – what this is telling me is that there may be some data structure in the
program that corrupts after too many rips. (Note that the same thing happens
when copying multiple consecutive CDs.
Hopefully this will be some useful feedback to the developers.
Possible, I’m using tmp filesystem with 32 GB RAM, so multiple rips could fill it, for sure. I’ll need to keep an eye on that Probably should delete tmp files on “Close” of rip, though.
