Version: (using KDE 4.1.3) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages Hi dev team! This was the first time I installed Amarok 2 on my Ubuntu 8.10 AMD64 (fresh install, no update). Before it there was Amarok, which I removed trough apt-get. Amarok 2 has been installed as "amarok-kde4" from the official Ubuntu repos. This is my problem, which doesn't look to have duplicates on your Bugzilla db: when launching Amarok 2, it shows the splashscreen, then crashes immediately. This is my backtrace: Application: Amarok (amarok), signal SIGSEGV [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] [New Thread 0x7fc479944730 (LWP 9407)] [New Thread 0x414ff950 (LWP 9408)] [KCrash handler] #5 0x00007fc477590690 in strlen () from /lib/libc.so.6 #6 0x00007fc47755944e in vfprintf () from /lib/libc.so.6 #7 0x00007fc47760ad18 in __vsnprintf_chk () from /lib/libc.so.6 #8 0x00007fc4694b1fad in scratch_printf (this=0x22d7050, format=0x7fc468a105c6 "load_plugins: plugin %s trovato\n", argp=0x7fff81a84e70) at /usr/include/bits/stdio2.h:78 #9 0x00007fc4694949f4 in xine_log (this=0x22c6070, buf=1, format=0x7fc468a105c6 "load_plugins: plugin %s trovato\n") at xine.c:2245 #10 0x00007fc46949fecc in _register_plugins_internal (this=0x22c6070, file=0x0, info=0x7fc469937680) at load_plugins.c:492 #11 0x00007fc469713fc2 in ??

This is a bug in xine translations (italian and german) Look at bug 175407 comment 9 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 175407 ***
"So yes, for now the right solution is to delete the german translations of libxine." Ok, but where can I find the Italian translation to delete?
Ok, the translation file can be disabled with these two simple commands from the terminal: cd /usr/share/locale-langpack/it/LC_MESSAGES/ sudo mv libxine1.mo libxine1.mo.bak Thanks Darío! Now Amarok can rule my computer! :D
