Version: amarok-1.3.2-1.fc4 (using KDE KDE 3.4.2) Installed from: Fedora RPMs Compiler: gcc (GCC) 4.0.1 20050727 (Red Hat 4.0.1-5) (I assume; I'm using the amaroK RPM from Fedora Extras) OS: Linux Quite often, on my laptop, amaroK will stop playing in the middle of a playlist -- different places each time, it's not a particular song that's an issue. When this happens, it's completely wedged; clicking on the systray icon doesn't respond either. The only thing I can do is killall amarokapp and restart it. I *think* it generally happens when going from track to track in a playlist, as opposed to in the middle of a song, but it's hard to tell because amaroK is frozen when it happens and I can't check what the status is. Some more details about my system: - Fedora Core 4 - amarok-1.3.2-1.fc4 from Fedora Extras - amarok-xine-1.3.2-0.1.fc4.kde from kde-redhat.sourceforge.net - I'm using the xine engine with the alsa output plugin, and other xine settings as default - I've got dmix configured on my alsa; my sound card is an Intel onboard thing without hardware mixing (ALSA driver is snd_intel8x0) - My music collection is in Ogg Vorbis This seems to happen more often when the CPU is under load, but again I could be imagining it. When it happens again, what should I do to help track it down? Is connecting to the running amarokapp process with gdb and getting a backtrace a useful thing to do, for instance?
What CPU are you using? Are you using HyperThreading?
Yes, it's a Pentium 4 HT, and I'm running an SMP kernel. Is this a known issue? [Apologies if this comment gets duplicated]
Yes, there are issues with HT. I'm closing this as a duplicate, please refer to the recent comments on the sister report for a solution to your problem. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 99199 ***
