Add debug flag for mysqle initialization
amarok.err amarok.err |
||
Please upgrade your git checkout, we have since released Amarok 2.8, current git describe is v2.8.0-31-gb796f3f Apologies for the misleading information... my git repo was up-to-date as of yesterday, possibly I had not done a pull of tags for a while so they (but only the tags) were not up-to-date. Have done that, and the problem still persists with: tag: v2.8.0-32-ge78c1b6 last commit: e78c1b66aad8f0b03fe239031455ca955d5b498c last commit author: Yuri Chornoivan <yurchor@ukr.net> last commit date: Wed Aug 21 09:58:00 2013 +0300 last commit title: Fix some issues found by Krazy2 Thank you for the fast feedback. Thanks for the report and especially bisecting. We might as well revert the commit, but first I'd like to understand the reason. I have mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.1.70, for pc-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 5.1 (same as you except architecture), and I don't have this problem, which is really strange. Edward, you had the same problem with the commit, right? Do you still have it? Needs to be resolved before Amarok 2.9. Yes and yes. Created attachment 81834 [details]
Add debug flag for mysqle initialization
Please apply this patch and post the contents of $KDEHOME/share/apps/amarok/mysqle/amarok.err , if any.

Good work, Konrad. If the file is overwritten on every startup (i.e. doesn't bloat over time), I'd consider this patch a candidate to inclusion in master. Akonadi does it too.

amarok.err
It doesn't do much, unfortunately.

amarok.err
Correct mimerype.

Akonadi does it too. It basically freopen()s the stdout and stderr to the given file. No point relying on mysql in that, we would be better off doing it ourselves in a controlled fashion.

Oh right, I didn't expect the behaviour. I think Akonadi runs the full-fledged mysqld,. Created attachment 81836 [details]
amarok.err
Not very enlightening either, unfortunately.
(The crash at the end is when quitting the application, not sure it is connected).

MySqlEmbeddedStorage: fix failure to start embedded server because of wrong options
This was because we were passing --myisam-recover-options and this
options does not exist in MySQL 5.1 (and MariaDB). The *command-line*
option (as opposed to system variable name) to set recovery mode is
tricky:
MySQL <= 5.1: --myisam-recover [1]
MySQL >= 5.5: --myisam-recover-options, should also accept
--myisam-recover [2]
MariaDB: --myisam-recover [3]
*However*, the *system variable name* has always been named
myisam_recover_options, that's why it worked in Amarok <= 2.8.
No need to backport this because of the above.
Simple fix is to rename the option to --myisam-recover
FIXED-IN: 2.9

This bug seems to have reappeared. My amarok worked properly until yesterday, then today after a restart required by an upgrade (unfortunately I didn't notice what was being upgraded) I tried to launch amarok but got the following error message: The amarok database reported the following errors: MySQLe something failed! on library initialization failed, return code 1 In most cases you will need to resolve these errors before Amarok will run properly. Afterwards the "Configure-Amarok" windows automatically opens on the "Database" section, but there's nothing to do there apart from setting up an external db (which does not help at all, btw). The local collection is gon and a full rescan does nothing. I tried to purge and reinstall it, delete database and configurations, restart the computer, but nothing works. Each time I start amarok I get the error and can't set up a local collection. I have installed the following version: Version 2.8.90 Using KDE 4.14.13 The OS is: Ubuntu 15.10 (upgraded from 15.04) Linux (x86_64) release 3.16.0-29-generic Compiler: x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc This bug seems to have reappeared.

That would be a grave error, as our release text states: https://amarok.kde.org/en/node/887 FWIW, please also specify your MySQL version, might be related to bug 354255, depending on the MySQL version you use.

I think you solved my problem involuntarily here, looking for the mysql version I found out that there was no mysql installed!! Now I have the following version: mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.6.27, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using EditLine wrapper And everything seems to work. My best hypothesis is that mysql got removed somehow during the upgrade and this caused the error. However I recommend a check because the re-installation of amarok should install also mysql or at least warn that it is required, and the error message failed to communicate that mysql itself was missing.

Then this would be a packaging error, I notified this to the Kubuntu guys. Amarok should always drag in MySQL by default, and you should get a warning if mysql is removed afterwards, as it should also remove Amarok in that case. |
When running the latest Amarok from Git sources, a message box is shown on startup: The amarok database reported the following errors: GREPME MySQLe query failed! (2000) mysql_embedded: Shutdown complete on init In most cases you will need to resolve these errors before Amarok will run properly. The Amarok main window is shown as expected, but there are no tracks shown in the "Local Collection" where previously there were plenty. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start the application. 2. Observe error message as above. 3. Observe that configured local collection shows no tracks. Actual Results: No tracks in local collection (even after trying an "Update Collection") Expected Results: Tracks that were previously in local collection should be shown. Amarok version: 2.7-git v2.5.0-1695-gfe022cb MySQL version: Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.1.70, for pc-linux-gnu (i686) using readline 5.1 Using Git bisection, this appears to be a consequence of commit: commit 141c1191f8849cfa91e8684edd11ab5b726ef101 Author: Patrick von Reth <vonreth@kde.org> Date: Fri Aug 16 16:09:00 2013 +0200 Don't communicate with mysql by env vars and autogenerated files Reverting this commit, or rolling back to an earlier version, fixes the problem. Starting Amarok from a blank configuration (after removing $KDEHOME/share/config/amarok* and $KDEHOME/share/apps/amarok) does NOT fix the problem.
