Retrovol taking 25% of CPU in LXPup Tahr 15.12.1

#1 Post by cprivers »

Retrovol is taking 25% of my CPU and hasn't changed in over 30 minutes. What is going on there? It does this on 2 different computers and I couldn't find any threads on this.

Thanks,

Chuck

@cprivers

this problem sounds vaguely familiar. There is a retrovol thread, so maybe ask there:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=50744

or you could raise at issue on github:
https://github.com/pizzasgood/retrovol

I dunno but many have hacked on retrovol, including myself. In slacko it's pretty stable.

pizzasgood has been absent a long time. Please find out the version of retrovol installed. See /root/.packages/woof-installed-packages (hidden file).
