The crash seems related to the audio decoding library. It could be useful if you could identify which FLAC file causes the crash in order to test it with other media players to confirm this. Regards looks like i found a workaround, try this: - make sure to completely remove pulseaudio from your system, if present (sudo apt-get remove --purge pulseaudio-*), and to choose xine as phonon-backend in systemsettings (that way it should be after install). - now completely remove the $HOME/.xine directory. now amarok should startup and play without segmentation fault. if i didnt work for you, you should delete all phonon-configuration-files: $HOME/.kde/share/config/phonondevicesrc $HOME/.config/kde.org/Phonon-Xine.xine.conf in case it reappeared, remove the .xine-directory again. after that, amarok should startup again quite fine. maybe you will have to reboot, but that is unlikely. i experienced that bug several times by now - some app depends on some sound-plugins i dont really want, the bug up my system, mostly pulseaudio involved, and amarok, dragonplayer and other apps depending on phonon stop to work properly. only removing those packages und resetting the xine-cache solves that problem. i found so many people experiencing the same problems as me, so i hope, this workaround will help some of you! for the amarok developers: it doesnt seems to me to be an amarok-bug, but maybe you could tell the xine-guys to fix that, because amarok is heavily inflicted? Removing Pulseaudio in Fedora is not an option IMHO. Also this looks more like a problem with the codec than anything else. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 219271 *** |
