Hi!

I\'m using slackware 10.2 (stable), linux 2.6.11-ck1y, amarok 1.3.6. Lately I got my comp overheated. I figured what\'s the problem, repaired the system, everything works just fine except for amaroK.

Randomly (often at start) it hangs and hang whole system. Trying to solve that problem, I have reinstalled xine-lib, alsa, some other packages, recompiled amaroK but still it randomly hangs and the system goes with it (even mouse refuses to react any more).

I tried to launch amaroK from terminal

$ amarok &

and just before a hang, there was no error or anything what could lead me to the point: what\'s the problem?

I also checked my system logs (/var/log), but there\'s nothing there

I also suspected that the memory went wrong, but after few hours of memtest64 there\'re no errors.

I\'ll also add, that everyother application I launch (windows/linux), even games (americasarmy), work just fine!

I don\'t know what to do, I feel confused about it

Could you pls help me?

I use xine-lib and alsa

and I ment memtest86

Maybe you could run amaroK from within gdb and get a backtrace so we can see how it is crashing.

I\'ve got some problems providing backtrace, cuz when I issue

$ gdb -p pid_nr_of_amarokapp > amarok.log

amaroK stops and hangs (systems still works this time)

what do I do wrong?

can someone help me?

I put into console:

$ gdb -p `pid of amarokapp`
(gdb) bt

I get the printout, but I dont know how to write output immediately to the file!

I also find troublesome, that when I run gdb, amarok stops until I detach it. So I can\'t really come to the point when program hangs with all the OS along.

pls help me with this, then I\'ll be able to provide you with some informations.
