Hi, I'm a hobby photographer and as such have tens of thousands of images stored on a NAS (QNAP TS-509 Pro, 5TB RAID-5 setup).
Just got Picasa for the first time mainly to upload some stuff for friends. First I found out that Picasa isn't very good at finding anything on a network but the following link solved that problem: http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Labs-Picasa-for-Linux/browse_thread/thread/4240e779c4820e89/dc941c797092efb7?lnk=gst&q=network#dc941c797092efb7 Now thatś where the trouble really starts. I know that on my Ubuntu (9.04 - Jaunty Jackalope) laptop the shares work just fine as I have already transferred many GBs via this route. However as soon as Picasa started indexing I noticed a mojor lag on my wireless-n connection. Plugging in a 1000Mbps cable and killing the wifi didn't help. To make things worse, after a while the whole thing crashes. Not just Picasa mind you, the whole system! Picasa will start to hang and then resume (it never got past more than a few hunderd pics) until it keeps hanging. I then killed the process. After some checking the process was still hanging around in a zombie state. To get rid off it I tried a log-off/login; that hung the entire system (which is otherwise perfectly stable). Tried several times, gave it a lot of time to see if things would work themselves out, even rebooted the NAS. Nothing helped; it kept screwing up my system. I hope it didn't do any permanent damage. Any ideas? thnx, Cyr --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google-Labs-Picasa-for-Linux" group.
