Summary: Spotify consumes all RAM with Wine 1.2 and crash the system Product: Wine Version: 1.2 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: flipefr@gmail.com
When you run Spotify with Wine 1.2 it consumes all the RAM of computer making cycles where at a point all the processors are at 100% and in others the CPU consumes is normal. The time os each cycle is less than 30 second, crashing the system if your are running other programs with high consumes like Boinc.
The program worked fine with the version 1.1.36 of wine that was what I was using before the upgrade.
I am using ubuntu 10.4 lucid lynx, wine 1.2(upgraded from the official repository), kernel 2.6.33.4, Spotify version 0.34. I use a nvidia 7600 and intel dual core 2,4 GHz.
