Hi guys,

I installed Fedora 16 KDE Spin today. When, I tried to start Amarok, it doesn't start. But, I find processes with the name 'amarok' in the system monitor.

This is the output of 'amarok' when run in terminal:
==========================================
QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave.
Amarok is already running!
QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave.

When I kill the existing amarok processes, and try to re-run amarok in terminal, this is the output:
================================================== ==========================
QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave.
KGlobal::locale::Warning your global KLocale is being recreated with a valid main component instead of a fake component, this usually means you tried to call i18n related functions before your main component was created. You should not do that since it most likely will not work
QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave.
*** glibc detected *** /usr/libexec/gstreamer-0.10/gst-plugin-scanner: malloc(): memory corruption: 0x09886d10 ***


I tried to rename the files in ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok and ~/.kde/share/config/amarok*, but no luck.

Also, pidgin is not starting on Fedora 16. Has anybody faced the same problem with new Fedora 16? If so, could you solve it?

Thanks,
Prashant.

How about asking in the Fedora forums? This seems to be a problem of that distribution and since it is rather new there is not much feedback here yet.
FWIW: Pidgin is not KDE software, so this is anyway a question you should ask elsewhere :)


Running Kubuntu 22.10 with Plasma 5.26.3, Frameworks 5.100.0, Qt 5.15.6, kernel 5.19.0-23 on Ryzen 5 4600H, AMD Renoir, X11
FWIW: it's always useful to state the exact Plasma version (+ distribution) when asking questions, makes it easier to help ...

I've heard a good collection of horror-stories from folks using buggy 3rd-party nvidia drivers. would that apply in this case?
