Since version 2.5.0 and with 2.6.0 Amarok crashes at startup several times before I can use it. The crashlog gives this Application: Amarok (amarok), signal: Segmentation fault Using host libthread_db library "/usr/lib/libthread_db.so.1".

Sorry, but neither the debug output (which you should start with amarok -d --nofork) nor the backtrace have debugging symbols, please install and enable those and provide a better backtrace. See also http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports

I also have the konsole output but it is 2.7 MB large. I don't havew a place to put it.
Created attachment 73850 [details] konsole output (compressed) output from konsole running amarok -d --norfork until crash (debug symbols turned)
Well, you need to install the debugging symbols first, the backtrace is useless, it only shows ??
I rebuild amarok from source with -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug what else do I need to do?
(In reply to comment #6) > I rebuild amarok from source with > > -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug > > what else do I need to do? the exact command is DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull the problem is that you also have no debugging symbols for Qt and probably a few other libraries amarok depends on, so far the backtrace shows this: Thread 1 (Thread 0x7f8ac4d997c0 (LWP 20983)): [KCrash Handler] #5 0x00007f8b154e8000 in ??

I just tried rebuild to amarok again with the -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull and I added options=(!strip) to the PKGBUILD and now the package is 300 MB but the backtrace when Amarok crashes still shows ?? where the debug symbols should be. What am I forgetting?

What am I forgetting? As already said previously, you would also need debugging symbols for all libraries Amarok depends on. The problem is your distribution, they don't ship debugging symbols, so unless you are willing to recompile all dependencies you will not be able to get a valid backtrace I fear. What you should do is erasing the old amarok configuration files located in $HOME/.kde/share/config/. That folder might actually be $HOME/.kde4/share/config/, some distributions change that.
I already tried to erase the old configuration files and amarok still crashes.
Did you try with a new user? Also erasing the default playlist current.xspf in $HOME/.kde/share/apps/amarok/ might be a good idea. (Again, depending on the distribution this might be in $HOME/.kde4/share/apps/amarok/) Please do NOT erase that folder, only the playlist file, else you will loose the database and all the statistics and ratings.
Yes I also tried a new user and it still crashes.
You didn't specify whether you removed the playlist.xspf file...
Yes, I did erase playlist.xspf and it still crashes.
Thank you for the feedback. Could you please provide the output of ~/.xsession-errors when this crash happens? It might contain information that could be useful.
Will do. I do have the suspicion at the moment that the crash maybe caused by one of the scripts I'm running.
Oh, then please disable these scripts by editing amarokrc, located in $HOME/.kde/share/config/ (the folder might also be in $HOME/.kde4/share/config/ depending on the distribution) and re-enable them selectively. If this is indeed caused by a script then please don't forget to report the issue to the script author on http://kde-apps.org
Will do!
Created attachment 74702 [details] .xsession-errors file from amarok 2.6.0 crash on Arch Linux 64 bit Here is the output from ~/.xsession-errors
The xsession-errors file is not giving any more hints. Did you try disabling the scripts?
Yes I disabled the scripts and it still crashed on me.
All this is not very helpful unfortunately. The konsole output shows that you were playing several tracks before the crash happened, though, so this is not a crash on start. Please try reinstalling Amarok, e.g. you remove it first with all configuration files (in a Debian like system this would be apt-get purge, no idea this is done in Arch).
I tried that and it still crashes. The crash happens sometimes also at start, other times during scanning my collection. Also trying to play the first song or the song after that.
Could you try changing the phonon backend you currently use? After that I give up, not a clue what is going wrong. Amarok Settings menu -> Configure Amarok -> Playback -> COnfigure Phonon. I don't know what is default on Arch, probably gstreamer, please install the phonon-backend-vlc in that case. You will have to restart KDE for the phonon backend change to be effective.
Any news about this? I expected some feedback after the phonon backend change...
I did the change to phonon backend and it amarok still crashed on me. So I have been investigating here and there to figure out why it was crashing. Currently it doesn't crash as very often, so the issue I think at least seems to be caused by one of amarok's dependencies.
Could you maybe try Amarok 2.6.90 aka 2.7 beta1 with a new user?
I can't reproduce this with Amarok 2.7. Please feel free to reopen if you can reproduce this with Amarok 2.7 or later.
