I recently updated my package. Changes include

  • kde 3.5. (some parts of the meta)
  • gcc 3.4.6
  • modular Xorg
  • amarok (I used amarok 1.3 before)

Now I can't get amarok to start at all. I tried amarok 1.4.0 and (adding amarok to package.keywords, amarok 1.4.1) both crash at startup.
And even if I move the .kde dir away. I then see the setup wizard but not more.
I see a short flicker (I suppose the GUI wants to fire up) and then I get the KCrashguard with a backtrace of no use. (I probably need to add some debug USE-Flags)
I then recompiled amarok 1.4.1-r2 with debug enabled. The backtrace is still of no use, but I get lots of console output.

Do you have any hints what to do when upgrading amarok? Is there anything I can do, to get it starting?
In another thread I found 'fix_libtool_files.sh' and used it with my previus gcc version. But no success.[/code]

I have the following amarok use flags: USE="kde musicbrainz opengl xinerama debug" LINGUAS="de"

Code:

amarok: BEGIN: App::App()
...
QLayout: Adding KToolBar/mainToolBar (child of QVBox/unnamed) to layout for PlaylistWindow/PlaylistWindow

amarok:   END__: void PlaylistWindow::init() - Took 3.4s

Have you tried a revdep-rebuild? I had a similar error when I upgraded to 1.4.1, but was fine after running revdep-rebuild.

I had the exatly same problem. I do not know which of these steps that fixed it for me since I performed them all at once after having tried everyting else like revdep-rebuild etc.

I emerged --oneshot taglib sqlite and rm -rf ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok

For some reason this did the trick for me! Hope it helps.

I had the same problem as brandsmeier described and after performing:
Code:
emerge --oneshot taglib sqlite
as F.Ultra suggested, amarok came up without a problem.

Thanks!

I was experiencing this problem too and after installing sqlite, it ran fine. But afterwards I could uninstall sqlite and it still ran fine! I think the problem is to do with upgrading a 1.3.x collection to 1.4.x. I raised a ticket about this:

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=142340

but since I've done the upgrade I can no longer provide the debug information they need to fix this.

If anyone else is experiencing this problem, could you run amarok with gdb before installing sqlite to help track down the root of this problem?

Code:
gdb /usr/bin/amarokapp


Then at the prompt, type 'run'.


Thanks!
