Created attachment 76492 [details] saved report from the crash assistant. The game crashes most of the time. Occasionally there is a delay in actually removing a selected matching pair. This is openSUSE 12.2 (Linux 3.4.11-2.16 x86_64) on KDE 4.8.5. I would be happy to send an detailed backtrace if you tell me where to find the debug headers.
To workaround the issue until it is investigated, please disable sounds in the Settings menu.
As the backtrace below shows, you do not have debugging symbols installed for either Phonon, phonon-backend-gstreamer and pulseaudio. Please install those and provide a better backtrace. We also need the exact version of your phonon-backend-gstreamer for the bug report. See also http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports#openSUSE.

The work around works for me. I forgot all about it. Apparently you are aware of the cause and don't actually need further info from me. Thanks for your response.

On the contrary, we still need a better backtrace, else it is impossible to know what causes the problem.
I've installed all the debuginfo I could find. The lib*.so don't show much so I probably need debuggable versions. Another backtrace follows and a list on installed debug rpms. There have been a few updates recently. Still crashes, but less frequently. The 5 second delays after selecting matches still happens (and is very annoying). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Application: kshisen (1.8.4) KDE Platform Version: 4.8.5 (4.8.5) "release 2" Qt Version: 4.8.1 Operating System: Linux 3.4.33-2.24-desktop x86_64 Distribution: "openSUSE 12.2 (x86_64)" -- Information about the crash: <In detail, tell us what you were doing when the application crashed.> The crash can be reproduced some of the time. -- Backtrace: Application: Shisen-Sho (kshisen), signal: Aborted Using host libthread_db library "/lib64/libthread_db.so.1".

Debuginfo for phonon-backend-gstreamer and pulseaudio is still missing. Please make sure you have the correct repository enabled for these: http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports#openSUSE
While installing the debuginfo you requested a few updates were included. Now I can't get the game to crash. Still had the 5 second delays. Yesterday I upgraded to OpenSUSE 12.3 and everything works fine. I'm very disappointed that you got me to spend several hours working on a problem that was apparently already fixed. Until you support shifted function keys in konsole I don't use you anyway. I'm done.
I am refraining myself from writing a tirade here, but your previous comment made me very, very angry indeed. People here are taking time out of their days to help people with problems and identify bugs that developers are usually happy to fix. This often requires a lot of investigation in order to determine where the bug actually lies which typically requires debug symbols to get a proper backtrace. It is only with this information that we can determine whether a bug might be a duplicate and even then it requires that we be aware of the bug itself and know that it is fixed (which is often not the case as the bugs might be "fixed" by some external factor like a new kernel etc). Also keep in mind that you are working with *upstream* people here, who might not know anything about your distribution level packages or updates. To complain that you are disappointed for the good work done by volunteers here is just astounding to me. We all work on these projects for many hours every week, mostly because we are passionate about free software. To complain about something we do for free for the benefit of everyone is just staggering. Please take a moment to reassess your attitude when participating in free software projects and choose your words more carefully in future.
willowlake and Colin Guthrie, please read comments on a similar bug starting here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=297006#c31 In brief, Phonon has never been good at playing the short, precisely-timed sounds required in games and the preferred method is now KgSound in the KDE Games library, which uses OpenAL and SndFile libraries to play sounds, if those libraries are available in the distro. I think things started working for willowlake because OpenSuSE 12.3 includes KDE Games 4.10, in which KShisen and some other games had been ported to KgSound and OpenAL, away from Phonon. To confirm this, try and play KGoldrunner with sound turned on. If only Phonon is available (no OpenAL), it will be silent and should give a message IIRC. willowlake, I sympathise with your point of view (see the link above). I am the KGoldrunner author. But do not give up and do not throw out the baby with the bath water. Colin Guthrie, if you are on the Phonon team, please close off all bugs of this nature with a message similar to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=297006#c34 Colin, despite your protestations, which I fully support, the fact remains that some areas of KDE are less than helpful in handling bug reports. I note that the assignee of this particular bug has not made a single comment ...
Since there was no feedback as requested in Comment #6, I close this report, else this stays blocked in triaging mode and will never reach the developers. Without a proper backtrace there is no use of pushing this further. Please feel free to reopen if you can provide the necessary feedback and if this is reproducible with the 4.6.3 backend or later.
