Version: 2.6.2 (using KDE 3.5.2, Kubuntu Package 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu1 dapper) Compiler: Target: i486-linux-gnu OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.15-20-386 Exactly Similar to bug 123082 that has been closed without much inquiry in the problem... Download an archive (tested with zip) containing a mp3, select ' Open with ark ' double click on it (for me it looks like ark uses xine to play it) meanwhile download another archive, select ' Open with ark ' ark crashes, the new window doesn't appear.
Bug 123082 was closed because i couldn't reproduce it and no backtrace was provided. I still cannot reproduce it. Can you give us a valid backtrace?
I compiled from source with full debug info. Here's an even simpler way to reproduce the crash. 1- compress a music with bzip2 2- ark blah.bz2 3- play the music 4- launch ark blah.bz2 again Most of the time it says the backtrace is useless ( too corrupt ) but I managed to get one: Using host libthread_db library "/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libthread_db.so.1".

I still cannot reproduce it :/ Before running again ark, did you close the previous ark window?
