Amarok doesn't start

Tue Jul 02, 2013 8:34 pm
Until Monday I was using Amarok with no problem, but today I try to start it, and it did not work

I run from the console and get the following message:

QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave.
unnamed app(2604): KUniqueApplication: Cannot find the D-Bus session server: "Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken."

unnamed app(2603): KUniqueApplication: Pipe closed unexpectedly.


I'm using Ubuntu 13.04

Thanks

What did you change? Did you make some updates? Also: which exact Amarok and KDE versions do you use?


Running Kubuntu 22.10 with Plasma 5.26.3, Frameworks 5.100.0, Qt 5.15.6, kernel 5.19.0-23 on Ryzen 5 4600H, AMD Renoir, X11
FWIW: it's always useful to state the exact Plasma version (+ distribution) when asking questions, makes it easier to help ...

Then please update Amarok to 2.7.1. If that doesn't help, you should try erasing the amarokrc file in $HOME/.kde/share/config/

Ok, I use "sudo apt-get install amarok --only-upgrade" to update the program, but the Terminal returned me: "amarok is in its latest version", so I deleted the amarokrc file and now it seems to be to open the program, but after a few moments closes again.

I run it again from the Terminal, and returns me the same message I posted first.

Well, you need to add the updates and backports PPA to get version 2.7.1, it is not in the regular updates.

Maybe I'm doing somthing wrong.

I'm installing the PPA repositories and Backports this way:

"sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports"

then:

"sudo apt-get update"

and:

"sudo apt-get install amarok "

But when I check the version of Amarok it continues in the:

dpkg -s amarok |grep Version
Version: 2:2.7.0-0ubuntu2.1

I missing some step?

Done, I get amarok latest version, but unfortunately, the problem persist in the same way, I deleted again de amarokrc file but doesn't help.

But now I get this from the console:

The program 'amarok' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
(Details: serial 3180 error_code 3 request_code 20 minor_code 0)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Apparently there is a crash, please make a crash report to http://bugs.kde.org and make sure you have the amarok-dbg, phonon-dbg and phonon-backend-gstreamer-dbg packages all installed beforehand so you get a valid backtrace.

On a side note: to get a valid debug output on the konsole, you need to start Amarok with
Code: Select all
amarok -d --nofork
as you can see in the output you pasted...
