amaroK crashes on startup
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:23 EST
Description of problem: amaroK crashes on startup. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): amarok-1.3.6-1.fc5 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start amarok from command line or icon Actual results: crash Expected results: amarok should start up normally Additional info: [duncan@thinkpad ~]$ amarok amaroK: [Loader] Starting amarokapp.. amaroK: [Loader] Don't run gdb, valgrind, etc. against this binary! Use amarokapp. amarokapp: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot enable executable stack as shared object requires: Permission denied [duncan@thinkpad ~]$ amarokapp amarokapp: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot enable executable stack as shared object requires: Permission denied [duncan@thinkpad ~]$ rpm -qa | grep amarok amarok-1.3.6-1.fc5 [duncan@thinkpad ~]$ This has been done after a yum remove and yum install of amarok for added freshness!
Is this worth pursuing? Or should I wait and test it when test3 is released? I'm running the latest rawhide and still get exactly the same problems. Duncan
I've just built amarok 1.4beta1 for FC5, do you still have this problem with it ?
I'm installing from extras-development repo via yum, so I'm only getting version 1.3.6-1.fc5 Is this what you've just built? Or do you want me to try building 1.4beta1 from source? I don't think I'm good enough to try compiling from source. I've just re-installed it and run it under KDE and it's working perfectly. This is the first time I've run it under KDE though - all other times were under Gnome. Is this relevant? I can't actually get Gnome working at all at the moment due to a metacity problem, so I can't test under Gnome.
Maybe it's not yet indexed, but version 1.4beta1 is built for devel : http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/development/i386/amarok-1.4-0.7.beta1.fc5.i386.rpm Running it from GNOME may have caused the crash, can you go to "Configuration" > "Configure Amarok" > "Engine" and tell me which one is selected ? Thanks
Sorry, can't do that - I've just upgraded the machine to test 3 via the downloaded DVD image. I ran amarok from Gnome and it worked. I'm now uninstalling it, reinstalling it and trying again just to verify that everything is OK. Perhaps something to do with my broken Gnome under test 2?
Second thoughts, it's NOT working under Gnome. The flash screen appears, then the window is up for a second or two before disappearing. [duncan@localhost ~]$ amarok amaroK: [Loader] Starting amarokapp.. amaroK: [Loader] Don't run gdb, valgrind, etc. against this binary! Use amarokapp. QLayout: Adding KToolBar/mainToolBar (child of QVBox/unnamed) to layout for PlaylistWindow/PlaylistWindow [duncan@localhost ~]$ X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3 Major opcode: 7 Minor opcode: 0 Resource id: 0x3400015 [duncan@localhost ~]$ Is there a log file I can post at all? I'll get the engine in a second once I boot into KDE to run it.
Further complications: Amarok is crashing under KDE too now - with exactly the same errors as under Gnome. Could this be to do with the fact that this machine was originally installed as FC5t2 then upgraded daily via yum before being upgraded to FC5t3? Just wondering is the yum updates would have cracked anything badly enough that things just won't work any more. Do I need to do a fresh install of FC5t3 from DVD? I'll install your beta RPM and see how it goes.
Can't install your rpm due to the following deps: [root@localhost Desktop]# rpm -Uvh amarok-1.4-0.7.beta1.fc5.i386.rpm error: Failed dependencies: libakode.so.2 is needed by amarok-1.4-0.7.beta1.fc5.i386 libifp.so.4 is needed by amarok-1.4-0.7.beta1.fc5.i386 libtunepimp.so.3 is needed by amarok-1.4-0.7.beta1.fc5.i386 [root@localhost Desktop]# Not sure where these come from - sorry.
Those are provided by akode, libifp, and libtunepimp. Use yum localinstall to install the amarok rpm, it will resolve the deps.
Right - I got it all installed after a rather mamoth yum update. amarok now starting up perfectly and playing as expected. Engine is GStreamer 0.10 Engine with alsasink output plugin. Will amarok 1.4 be in the final release then? Thanks
> Will amarok 1.4 be in the final release then? Yes. Amarok 1.4 is the first release to work with gstreamer 0.10, and 1.4 final should be out before FC5. The crash may have come from the previous amarok package being compiled with gstreamer 0.8, which is gone from rawhide. (or not). Thanks for the report.
