ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Same issue on Manjaro testing (wayland), juk version 21.12.2. Was working not long ago.

Comment 2 Michael D 2022-05-31 10:15:30 UTC

After deleting ~/.local/share/juk, the program started again. I then moved my playlist folder back and it's working.

gdb backtrace of juk

I have the same problem since a few weeks ago.
Running juk 22.12.0 on 6.0.11-arch1-1 x86_64

Michael D's suggestion to delete ~/.local/share/juk worked for me as well.

I've some GDB output I took before that. Notice that I interrupted juk at some point in-between (line 28), that was after about 5 minutes of waiting for it to become responsive or more output from GDB, but nothing happened in that timeframe.

Want to say a quick "Thank you!"

I have been unable to use Juk for a month or so in Arch after an update.  I tried reverting to a the three previous versions with no success and I also deleted ~/.config/jukrc, which had no effect.

Deleting this folder finally fixed it for me!
