2007-12-05 Thread eater
When I select "Use MusicMagic" in my SlimServer 6.5.4 settings, and leave the "Music Folder" field empty, everything works fine -- all my tracks are mixable, with that little |M| next to them. But when I add my music library folder to the "Music Folder" field and rescan, suddenly about half the

Thanks for the post. I'll try that when I get home. Also, a friend of mine suggested purging the dummy package instead. apt-get remove --purge mysql-server I'm going to try that as well and post back. Here's a link to the ubuntu post on the same issue: http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/showth

Actually -all- the threads would have to be idle for them to be swapped out. Threads share all memory, all open files, everything. The only difference is the internal CPU registers, which are stored in the process table in the kernel. You gain maybe a couple hundred bytes in the process table b
