Audacious is incredibly slow to start

**mc-rpg** · January 30th, 2013

Audacious is incredibly slow to start (a full 20 seconds) after I try to play songs with it be it from the "open with" menu from nautilus or simply starting it through the dash. I don't know why this is, does somebody else experience this? My machine is decent (dell inspiron 14z N411z), and my ubuntu version 12.10

Thanks in advance.

Audacious starts, loads fast and is acting totally normal for me with 12.04. I like and use Audacious a lot. No problems here.

I know my situation must be unusual. I'm thinking maybe 64bits has something to do with it?

Try running audacious in a terminal. Post anything interesting. In another terminal:

Code:

dmesg | tail -50

Apparently I was using an updated (3.3.3 version) version from webupd8 repository, I downgraded to the regular multiverse one and it isn't slow to start anymore. Thanks for the help.

I've been using 64 bit versions for years with no issues.

Ok, it wasn't the updated version that was giving me problems, it was actually the scrobbler plugin. It was kind of buggy and the old version started to behave the same way after enabling it. I disabled it now and don't experience the problem, on the older or updated version.

Thanks again.
