|
|
I just emerged KDE 3.3. Everything seems OK except this.
When I try to run juk, here is what happens:
Code: |
michael@bart michael $ juk
juk: ERROR: Communication problem with juk, it probably crashed.
michael@bart michael $ KCrash: Application 'juk' crashing...
|
Then the KDE crash handler dialog pops up and tells me juk got a signal 11. |

Odd... No great loss I reckon
You presumably do have aRts installed and running? One imagines that's fairly important to juk.
You didn't compile with any aggressive optimisations? They're often good for a random crash.
If nothing else, remerging kdemultimedia may be worth a go - just in case of a randomness the first time around. That'll probably take an hour or so though. |

Happens for me as well, and for many ppl it seems. I'm not really concerned as I use amarok when I'm in KDE. I think the main reason you don't hear too much about juk being b0rked is that amarok is much more popular. But that's just a guess. |

Bump because I have the same problem. I'm emerging Amarok to give it a try, though. |

I have no problems.
Try moving your .kde folder to a backup and log in again and see if that helps.
Sometimes letting it creating new config files solves many KDE upgrade problems.
If that works, move the backup you made back to .kde and then delete the offending juk/arts files in .kde |

tanks, the attached "Perl script to find JuK libraries using an incompatible standard C++ library" to the bug did help out |

|

I was having the same problem with Juk after upgrading to KDE 3.5.2. I used the aforementioned perl script and ended up re-emerging taglib, but it didn't fix things. Then I remembered something somewhere (I forgot where) that said compiling with the 'gstreamer' USE flag might help. It worked for me.
Thus, the problem is Arts-related? |

|
|
I dug further and discovered that in upgrading to KDE 3.5.2, somehow kdemultimedia-arts didn't get upgraded, and I remembered the problem started around the time I uninstalled the previous 3.4.x versions of everything. So installed kdemultimedia-arts-3.5.2 and recompiled Juk (without gstreamer). Works just fine now.
It would seem that Juk has a runtime dependency on kdemultimedia-arts, but the ebuild for Juk doesn't reflect this. |

That's odd. I uninstalled kdemultimedia-arts to test my theory, but that didn't reproduce the problem. Not even after restarting my KDE session. I really don't know what the problem is. |
