Using ubuntu 9.1. Upgrading from earlier version of Amarok (sorry, version unknown).

1) After other problems and posts, finally got Amarok to run.
2) shut down and upon restart got KDE crash report
3) crash report says "data not useful" but I have copied the report below (more info follows the pasted crash report data).

Application: Amarok (amarok), signal: Segmentation fault

4) Crash report system won't allow me to send the crash or bug report. I shut down crash report and application does not restart.

4) I uninstalled amarok and kde, deleted amarok folder, and reinstalled - same problem.

5) Sven Krohlas send me the following email on this problem (I previously had problem where the local collection was not being generated. I am not sophisticated enough to understand what Sven is telling me about starting with a fresh profile and the settings etc. Nor do I understand #amarok or #kubuntu on IRC. Too much lingo for me!

This is a completely different issue than before. Remember: one bug per issue.
Also, this is not a support forum but a bug tracker.

Try with a fresh profile, you will find all settings-related files in
~/.kde/share/apps/amarok and ~/.kde/share/config/amarokrc

If it doesn't work then ask in #amarok or #kubuntu on IRC.

Hi rhmgolfs, I remember being a new user and how bewildering everything can be. However, if you are willing to learn, it all gets easier, and you can help by learning how to properly report problems. This helps us help you, too. Please start by reading a couple of webpages:

http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tut ... sh_reports and

http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tut ... e_with_GDB

Or you might find it easier to read an article about this subject in the latest Amarok Insider: http://amarok.kde.org/en/Insider/Issue_14 (scroll down a bit)

When I first started running Amarok from the console, I did it this way:

Code: Select all

amarok -d --nofork

Now that I have gdb (the debugger) installed, I always run Amarok from the console, this way:

Code: Select all

gdb amarok
(gdb) run --debug --nofork

This gives the best output AND allows a backtrace (bt) in case of a crash.

Hope this helps,

Valorie

The problem you are having is this here:

The solution (or rather: workaround) for this problem is also stated somewhere in the many comments of this bug report.
