Version: 1.2beta3 (using KDE KDE 3.3.91) Installed from: Gentoo Packages Compiler: gcc 3.3.5 OS: Linux amarok does not start, I only the the splashscreen. When started from a console : [amaroK] Connecting to /home/gabo/.kde/socket-gabo/amarok.loader_socket [amaroK] Starting amarokapp.. [amaroK] If you want a backtrace, run gdb against amarokapp, not amarok! [amaroK] Timed out trying to contact amarokapp And then, I have a message box telling me that I should try running amarok from the command line. I compiled amarok different times, with different settings (with or without arts, with or without mysql, gstreamer, xine, etc ...). I also tried old 1.1.1 version. I also deleted every amarok config files I found. Nothing. What can I do know ? How can I help you finding the problem ? Thanks !
Sorry, you need to provide more information. Else we can't help you. Rebuild with --enable-debug=full and paste the debug output after running.
I've just compiled again amarok, using the debug flag under gentoo. Nothing more to tell you : gabo@gabo /mnt $ amarok [amaroK] Connecting to /home/gabo/.kde/socket-gabo/amarok.loader_socket [amaroK] Starting amarokapp.. [amaroK] If you want a backtrace, run gdb against amarokapp, not amarok! What can I do more ? Using gdb ? One more info : I use kde 3.4beta.
I found the problem : I had to emerge again xorg-x11. I remember I recently updated some libs which required the latest xorg-x11 6.8 release update. For info, I had version 6.8.0-r3 installed and I upgraded to 6.8.0-r4. See here for the Changelog : http://www.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/x11-base/xorg-x11/ChangeLog Thanks for your time.
