Disabling fsync() doesn't help anymore in Karmic because Sqlite3 seems to have switched to fdatasync() by default. Disabling fdatasync does the trick for me this time, liferea starts almost instantly again.
The hack in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/liferea/+bug/333718/comments/10 would need to be switched to fdatasync to make it work again, e.g.: **** libfsync.c **** int fdatasync (int fd) { return 0; } ****************** I'll attach the one I'm using too, see Rodrigos instructions linked above on how to build it. ** Attachment added: "fsyncbegone.c" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/27733951/fsyncbegone.c -- Liferea stalling, uses excessive number of fsyncs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290666 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
