Why is amaroK *that* buggy?

Fri Dec 23, 2005 12:17 pm
I\'m using (well, TRYING to use) 1.3.7, and it crashes AT LAST every five minutes.

Whenever I start amaroK, I get that \"configuration\" screen. When I close it, amarok is finished, too.

When I start amaroK the second time, it runs. I now select the random mode, and the first song is played properly. But when the song changes, amaroK crashes *again* with the following error:

Xlib: sequence lost (0x1cc95e > 0x1bcaaf) in reply type 0x16!
In file kernel/qpixmap_x11.cpp, line 631: Out of memory


The next time, I manage to get amaroK running, the whole window freezes (I believe, it would have shown the config dialog again), and exactly one song is played, and after that, amaroK is dead AGAIN.

Please, please, please, amaroK is great in terms of features (that\'s, why I want to use amaroK instead of rhythmbox, the Gnome music player), but such a terribly buggy application is really not useful for anyone!

Next bug:

I deleted my .kde/share/apps/amarok directory, and this time, amarok even managed to start without that nasty configuration dialog.

Looked quite good, until I played the first song: This time, the OSD freezed, and with that, the whole amaroK application, too :angry:

Provide more info - the distribution method, amaroK version, xine and gstreamer versions (if any), GCC version (if you compiled it by yourself), KDE version.

Looks like a problem with your packages/sources with Qt packages.

Possibly graphics card stuff

I\'m using the RPMs for Fedora Core 4, but I can\'t tell you from which repository exactly they come from. Probably livna.

amarok version is 1.3.7, gstreamer is 0.8.11
I was running Gnome 2.12 and installed KDE version (libs, kdebase, ...) 3.4.2 and I\'m giving it now a final try with all KDE stuff upgraded to 3.5

Update: Even with the latest KDE libs, the error

In file kernel/qpixmap_x11.cpp, line 631: Out of memory

still exists :(

What QT version are you using? Make sure it\'s not qt4.
