Nicotine supports "psyco", an inline optimizer for python code, you can get it at trac did not like the url You do not have Python Vorbis bindings installed. Others will not be able to see the lengths and the bitrates of Ogg Vorbis files that you share. You can get the from trac did not like the url. If you're using Debian, install the python-pyvorbis package.

Nicotine supports a country code blocker but that

requires a (GPL'ed) library called GeoIP. You can find it here: C library: trac did not like the url Python bindings: trac did not like the url (the python bindings require the C library)

Note: Python Bindings for libsexy were not found. To enable spell checking, get them from trac did not like the url or your distribution's package manager. Look for sexy-python or python-sexy.

Nicotine just crashes (freezes up,) about ten seconds after I put instrumental into the search field and search for it. If I don't actually search for anything the program will run fine.

I have tried loads of different ways of changing the ulimit globally to see if that was the problem but not really getting anywhere. I am using Slackware 12.

Would it be possible for Nicotine plus to check this limit, if that is the problem and adhere to it without crashing and give the user a notice to increase the ulimit if that is what is required? Could this problem in anyway be related to the IAg_object_remove_toggle_ref errors?

[daelstorm]

The problem is that searching for a common search term, floods search results, which result in too many open sockets (which count as files).

Do you think you can fix this?

[anonymous]

As a workaround (read: ugly hack) I added the following setting to /etc/security/limits.conf:

* - nofile 500000

So far it seems to work, but this might bring security issues.
