After a world update Amarok crashes at startup.

Running amarokapp without any arguments I end up with:

Code:

QLayout: Adding KToolBar/mainToolBar (child of QVBox/unnamed) to layout for PlaylistWindow/PlaylistWindow
STARTUP
Segmentation fault


Using --engine gst I get the same output but with "Killed" instead of "Segmentation fault".

Using --engine arts I get "KCrash: Application 'amarokapp' crashing..." at console and a KDE crash window opens to tell me it just received signal 11, usable lines from backtrace are:

Code:

[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
[New Thread 16384 (LWP 26002)]
[New Thread 32769 (LWP 26003)]
0xb64882cb in waitpid () from /lib/libpthread.so.0
#0  0xb64882cb in waitpid () from /lib/libpthread.so.0
#1  0xb73d2f9c in ?? () from /usr/kde/3.4/lib/libkdecore.so.4
#2  0x00000000 in ?? ()


With --engine xine I thought it would work because it seems to start up (icon in notification area etc.) but then Thunderbird opens (don't know why?!) and Amarok crashes again:

Code:

QLayout: Adding KToolBar/mainToolBar (child of QVBox/unnamed) to layout for PlaylistWindow/PlaylistWindow
STARTUP
myuser@mybox ~ $ Error while reading shared library symbols:
Can't attach LWP 25902: No such process
[setting tty state failed in terminal_inferior: Input/output error]
/tmp/kde-myuser/amarok6CMf6b.tmp:6: Error in sourced command file:
Couldn't get registers: No such process.
Quitting: Can't detach LWP 25902: No such process


I recompiled Amarok about 5 times now, recompiled kdemultimedia, arts and so on. Don't know what's wrong with my system. I also tried it without omit-frame-pointers and with visualization as it was reported to fix such problems. I've also deleted ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok - no difference.

Since my last compilation of a working Amarok I changed to the current version of GCC (and activated it) and updated KDE from 3.4.1 to 3.4.3. I'm using distcc now (but compiled GCC, KDE and Amarok only locally) and got rid of the (on my system) no longer working ccache. CFLAGS are "-O2 -march=athlon-xp" and CHOST is "i686-pc-linux-gnu". Playback through noatun and xine works fine.


Any ideas on how to get it working again? Thanks in advance!

Argh! No I didn't... I didn't see that I was upgrading from 3.3.x to 3.4.x... :?

But since no other program behaved unnormal since then, can't there be any other cause? I still can't tell why Thunderbird is starting when I choose xine. Estimated time for recompiling world would be 1d 12h. Real time would be about 1 week I guess. Would be great if I could get it working without recompiling at the moment.

Thunderbird starts up to send a crash-report to the amarok folks...
BTW, I have the exact same problem as you, also upgraded gcc...
I'll try an -e world tonigh.
Running amarok as root somehov works (using sux -).

Funny it didn't only happen to me. I still wonder what causes this strange behaviour. ^^

Good luck. I decided to simply reinstall Gentoo - I've had many orphaned files from a 1 1/2 year old system back then so it seemed to be more worthy to wipe everything and start from scratch (or let's say: partly from a backup).

Man, that really sux. :)

But at least that works for you - I couldn't do that neither. Doesn't sound that bad, maybe it's just some kind of permission/config problem?

Yea, but it's kind of hard to start looking when amarok crashes without any error messages whatsoever...

i'm having that problem as well.. after upgrading to gcc 3.4.x. (amarok didn't even compile without it since xine-lib used a flag that was unkown in gcc 3.3.x)
i did use revdep rebuild though instead of emerge -e world , i read its usuall sufficient.
anyway my computer is pretty slow and would take a couple of days to emerge -e, can u tell me if that fixed it for you ?

thanks
