Description Andrea Zoppi 2009-01-03 13:10:29 UTC
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:

Note: some debug symbols cannot be installed because they seem not updated on repos yet.


My computer has the following devices installed:
_ AMD Athlon X2 4200+
_ ASUS A8N-E (nForce 4) mobo
_ ASUS GeForce 7800GTX 256MB PCI-E + latest proprietary drivers
_ 1GB RAM (2x512MB dual-channel)
_ Hercules DJ Console Mk2
_ Ubuntu 8.10 always updated & upgraded


I'm sorry for my English, but I think you'll have more troubles in finding the error than reading my text :D
Comment 1 Dario Andres 2009-01-03 14:34:49 UTC
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 ***
Comment 2 Andrea Zoppi 2009-01-04 12:08:33 UTC
"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?
Comment 3 Andrea Zoppi 2009-01-04 16:12:33 UTC
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 DarĂ­o! Now Amarok can rule my computer! :D
