Version: 0.99b (using KDE 3.2.0, compiled sources) Compiler: gcc version 2.95.4 20020320 [FreeBSD] OS: FreeBSD (i386) release 4.9-STABLE kaudiocreator fails trying to rip all songs on a CD due to being out of temp space. I get this message: Could not write file /tmp/kde-lee/kaudiocreatord4pZQj.tmp. Disk full. Perhaps it could detect that it is running out of space and slow down a bit.... Or even better would be a configuration for where to put the temporary files.
It would also be helpful if it would remove the temp files it uses when it is finished with them.
OK, I have this problem as well. In my case it's because I use tmpfs. tmpfs normally uses 1/2 of your system ram, and it caches /tmp in RAM, which is a thing of true beauty. TMP files tend to be small, so it's all good. kaudiocreator's files quickly overwhelm that default 1/2 your RAM line (/usr/src/linux/Documentation/filesystems/tmpfs.txt). kaudiocreator should really use $HOME/tmp. This has the side benefit of never leaving debris outside of a user's home directory. Hope this helps. I like this app, and I want to dump grip. . . but. . . not at the cost of tmpfs.
Currently the way KAudioCreator does it is to just use KDE's default temp location. I am looking into the best way to solve this. (Rip and encode at the same time or let the user specify the temp dir over kde's temp) In the control center can you specify it anywhere?
It is not in ... System Administration -> Paths Sound & Multimedia -> Audio CDs KDE Components -> KDE Resources Configuration Also nothing by typing temp or tmp in the search bar.
I would vote for a configurable $HOME/tmp, or $HOME/Documents/KAudioCreator/tmp (since KDE seems to think 'Documents' should exist), or maybe even in the Wastebin??. Streaming ripping to the encoder would just bottleneck the process (I think). One thing I like about grip, is that if you have the space, you can just keep feeding it CDs, and it will just keep chugging away with the encoder trying to catch up. BTW it is a nice app. I'm trying to get to a 100% KDE desktop. . . This app will put me one step closer. . . Ahhh, the holy quest. . .
Call me paranoid, but for security reasons is good to have a small partition on /tmp (and mounted noexec). I'd like to configure the kaudiocreator temp dir. Workaround for this situation: relink ~/.kde/tmp-{your hostname here} thanks.
No thanks to a fried cpu the enhancement for this has been sitting three weeks on my hd, but now my dev box is up and running and KAudioCreator once again lets you specify the temp dir. Because it adds a string this wont be backported, but only in CVS.
*** Bug has been marked as fixed ***.
I'm using KAudioCreator 1.0 on KDE3.2.1 as packaged for SuSE 9.1 Pro. I have not found a place to select where to place the /tmp/ files, just the encoded files. ???
Yes the 3.2.1 release doesn't have the temp locate, the 3.1 did and 3.3 will have it again (3.3 is coming out later this month)
Hi, As well allowing the user to specify the temp directory (excellent! :), did the problem of kaudiocreator leaving it's temp files behind get fixed as well? Or would you prefer I submitted a separate bug for that one? (Someone mentioned it earlier, but it wasn't brought up again.)
I did fix a bug about left over tmp files. If you are still seeing it in 3.3 feel free to open a bug.
