Re: [resolved] aMule and 100% CPU activity

you wait enough time?
because amule take time, to rehash your shared and temp files, it's cpu tasks..

Re: [resolved] aMule and 100% CPU activity

I recently noticed that aMule peaked its cpu usage quite often - unable to find a solution I have moved over to mldonkey.

Re: [resolved] aMule and 100% CPU activity

Hi!

First try to rename your ~/.aMule directory to something like ~/.aMule-old and try again. If this works, copy your preferences.dat and  cryptkey.dat from the ~/.aMule-old directory to the new ~/.aMule dir in order to preserve your credits and set it up again.

If this does not work, could you please try to use aMule CVS? I've modified the original PKGBUILD to compile aMule CVS. (New CVS packages are uploaded about 6am UTC, this script will fail between midnight and shortly after 6am).

# aMule CVS PKGBUILD
# Modified by Johannes Krampf <wuischke@amule.org>
# Maintainer: damir <damir@archlinux.org>
# Contributor: Henrik Ronellenfitsch <searinox@web.de>

pkgname=amule-cvs
pkgver=$(date +%Y%m%d)
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="aMule is a eMule-like client for ed2k p2p network"
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
url="http://www.amule.org"
license=('GPL')
depends=('wxgtk>=2.6.3-2' 'perl' 'gd>=2.0.0' 'gcc' 'binutils>=2.17')
makedepends=('crypto++')
conflicts=('amule')
source=(http://amule.hirnriss.net/aMule-CVS-${pkgver}.tar.bz2)

build() {
  cd ${startdir}/src/amule-cvs
  ./configure --prefix=/usr \
              --disable-embedded_crypto \
              --enable-utf8-systray \
              --enable-cas \
              --enable-wxcas \
              --enable-amule-daemon \
              --enable-amulecmd \
              --enable-amule-gui \
              --enable-alc \    
              --enable-alcc \
          --enable-webserver
  make || return 1
  make DESTDIR=${startdir}/pkg install
}

If this does not work, build aMule against wxGTK 2.8.0. One way without changing anything else would be installing to /usr/local and using configure switches to specify the wx-config location and use LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable when starting aMule.

If it still doesn't work, please report in at http://forum.amule.org

Re: [resolved] aMule and 100% CPU activity

You might give xmule (no tray support in latest rc version) or mldonkey a try.

Re: [resolved] aMule and 100% CPU activity

That's actually a good idea.

It would already help to see whether the problem is aMule related or wx/*someotherlibrary* related.


On Mac aMule does work bad with other applications which require lots of CPU time (never had similar problems on Linux myself), do you have a cron job which is executed every 4-5 minutes?

I would highly appreciate your help in tracking the problem down, please report back when you know more.

Re: [resolved] aMule and 100% CPU activity

The high CPU activity is present every 3-4 minutes, and persist for 30-40 seconds...

PS: my cron jobs are ok! smile

next, i report some infos:

.....

and the console output of the CVS version:

PPS: i've try also without beryl.. the same result!

Re: [resolved] aMule and 100% CPU activity

You could try to determine if this behaviour is determined by the core or by the gui using the amule daemon (amuled) and seeing if the problem persists.

W00t! big_smile Amuled + amuleweb works fine! CPU is very very low!!

So, the problem is wxgtk hmm

Re: [resolved] aMule and 100% CPU activity

Fine. You can have a further confirmation trying to use the remote gui for amuled; its name is amulegui. The problem should start just when you launch amulegui.
