The problem appears to be with either Pulseaudio or gstreamer. This smells like something odd in gstreamer. What version of gstreamer packages do you have installed? In particular, you want PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin installed Some additional information would be good. As Colin asked, the version of your gstreamer packages would be very helpful. Do you have PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin installed? If so, does any sort of dialog pop up regarding missing plugins? Also, it would be very very helpful if you could get us some Phonon debug out. The following command sequence will turn on heavy Phonon debugging. Once amarok is up just trigger the crash and a log file will be created in the current working directory of your terminal. Since the file will probably be very big you might want to compress it with gzip or something. After that please attach the log here. export PHONON_PULSEAUDIO_DEBUG=5 export PHONON_VLC_DEBUG=5 export PHONON_GST_DEBUG=5 export PHONON_GST_GST_DEBUG=3 export PHONON_XINE_DEBUG=5 export PHONON_DEBUG=5 amarok --nofork 2> log Thanks. Created attachment 55704 [details] debugging output of amarok/phonon I have gstreamer 0.10.31-1.fc14 and phonon-backend-gstreamer 2:4.4.4-0.3.20110104.fc14. PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin wasn't installed when I reported the bug but after installing it, it complained: > The following plugin is required: > MPEG-1 Layer 3 (MP3) Clicking 'search' does not find any package to install (note -again- that downgrading to 4.4.3 works perfectly with no extra packages). The debugging output is attached. It wasn't too big so I attached it in plain text. I tested and couldn't reproduce any crashes (the only minor snag was one test where I did have the plugin and rpmfusion repos enabled, it installed the codecs), but still wouldn't see the new codecs until I restarted the app (amarok). Rumor is that a newer phonon snapshot may fix that particular issue. After upgrading to KDE 4.6 RC2, Amarok crashed a few moments after playing MP3 clips with the same backtrace (i.e. the same problem with Amarok) but clicking 'search' found gstreamer-ffmpeg and gstreamer-plugin-ugly (please note that both packages weren't installed with Phonon 4.3). After installing the two packages, Amarok worked just fine. No application should crash. Whether it was Amarok or Phonon, only the warning message should haven been shown.

The token used to delete this attachment was generated at 2011-01-15 22:27:30. this is reportedly fixed in latest phonon-4.5.0/phonon-gstreamer-4.5.0 releases, closing. reassigning to the new bugzilla product for better bug tracing of the various backends. Sorry for the noise. *** Bug 288451 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
