Nuvolaplayer freezes system when selecting Rdio

[Eric Seidel]

I installed Nuvolaplayer 1.0.5 on Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit from the stable PPA, and if I try to select Rdio my whole system slows to a crawl while Nuvolaplayer hangs at a white screen. The slowdown is so severe that I can't even use Ctrl-S to go back to the service picker, I have to kill the app and purge the settings.

Have you tried running in debug mode to see if there are any errors?

`$ nuvolaplayer -D`

No errors as far as I can tell, here's a copy of the debug output I got: http://paste.ubuntu.com/967631/. That was a fresh install, I opened Nuvolaplayer, chose Rdio, and then waited for a few minutes while to see if any error messages would pop up. I also had System Monitor open and noticed that nuvolaplayer was using 52% of my i7, I think that means a full 2 cores, but can't recall if the percentage is relative to a single core or cpu...

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. Unfortunately, some
services don't work on Ubuntu 12.04 because of a bug in WebKitGTK+
1.8. See bug #958154 for more information, especially comment 26.
