Hi,
I have amaroK 1.1.1-5 (updated from 1.1-2) installed on my SuSE 9.1 machine from RPMs.
Sometimes it works fine, but often crashes when loading, causing a signal 11 (SIGSEGV).
From a shell, I get the following:

[code:1]niall@linux:~> amarok
[amaroK loader] connecting to /home/niall/.kde/socket-linux/amarok.loader_socket
[amaroK loader] amaroK not running. Trying to start it..

When it works, it works well, with arts. I'm trying to get gstreamer working, which I have installed with its plugins and amarok-gstreamer, and I've run 'gst-register', giving:

[code:1]niall@linux:~> gst-register
trying to load global_registry
error loading global_registry
added path /opt/gnome/lib/gstreamer-0.8 to user_registry
rebuilding user_registry (/home/niall/.gstreamer-0.8/registry.xml)
added plugin[/code:1]

which isn't good enough for amaroK. Any ideas about either of these problems, or anything else I could try? Thanks! :huh:

I\'ve never been able to use Gstreamer engine at all!
Everytime I configure it and press play ... Kabumm .. it crashes right away!

And Arts was always glitchy ... I hate arts so I use xine-engine ....

Why the frown? xine is good. You don\'t want to hurt mxcl\'s feelings.
