Whenever I start up amaroK after having upgraded to the latest release, my KDE dies, but not spectacularly; it looks like it has been told to logout. I\'ve tried to direct the std output to a file to see where it goes wrong, but when I get back into KDE, the file is empty.

I had only just got beta3 working properly as well ;o)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Mandrake 10.1

I can cofirm this. Amarok kills X server (In my case it\'s since beta3)

No output is available. SuSE 9.1 X.org

Well without any output or anything, there\'s not much I can suggest. For one it is a flaw in your XServer, there\'s no way amaroK should be able to kill it just be using it.

I reckon it\'s openGL related. Rebuild ./configure --without-opengl opengl seems to be the cause of many issues like these.

Just had the same thing. Beta4 linked from http://www.gkmweb.com/amarok only happened when a playlist had finished the last track. Screen went black and I got a kde login screen and now I can\'t restart amarok (no other instances of it running). I can\'t remember if I\'ve let a playlist finish before Only other thing i\'ve done today is update Foxytunes http://www.iosart.com/foxytunes/firefox/ to the latest version.

Anyone else who is having this problem using the latest (1.1) Foxytunes?

Ops!, I forgot to say that I also use foxytunes and gnome-settings-daemon. If I don\'t use Firefox and don\'t run gnome-settings-daemon, I can\'t reproduce the problem. I will try with Firefox but without using gnome-settings-daemon and see what happens.

PD: ¿Maybe the changes in the dcop interface affected foxytunes? As I said in my previous post, beta3 seems to be quite stable.

Thanks to the people who helped- however in the meantime, I switched to SuSE, and now, it works just fine :laugh: Thanks guys!

@Joe Did you use foxytunes at all when it was dropping out of KDE?

I contacted the foxytunes author and he\'s looking into it because it only seems to happen for me with the latest foxytunes,

Hi,

I\'m the FoxyTunes author.

The only thing that has changed in the new version of FoxyTunes is that I added a call to \'artist()\' to get the name of the current track artist.
This is exactly the place where the problem seems to happen. Sending this command to Amarok seems to crash both the DCOP client and later the whole KDE/X Server.

I\'m not able to reproduce the problem on FC2. Most of the reports seem to be coming from Mandrake 10.1 users.

Amarok developers - any ideas what this can be?

That\'s absolutely amazing! The artist function is really nothing special. Here\'s a section of the code:

[code:1]
QString DcopPlayerHandler::nowPlaying()
{
return EngineController::instance()->bundle().prettyTitle();
}

QString DcopPlayerHandler::artist()
{
return EngineController::instance()->bundle().artist();
}

QString DcopPlayerHandler::title()
{
return EngineController::instance()->bundle().title();
}

QString DcopPlayerHandler::track()
{
return EngineController::instance()->bundle().track();
}
[/code:1]

So you see, it does nothing out of the ordinary. The artist() function for the bundle() just returns a QString, it is a simple inline const function:

[code:1]
QString artist() const { return m_artist; }
[/code:1]

So I can\'t understand how it could have such disasterous consequences...

i am using Gentoo Linux and have same problems Sometimes it kills KDE and Xorq. I tried it under I hope for updade ASAP, becouse I really love this player
