Bugzilla Bug 279227

All recent versions of media-sound/amarok-2 do not start on my machine.

I have no problem building them, but when I try to run I simply get:
% amarok -d
<unknown program name>(27977)/: Communication problem with  "amarok" , it
probably crashed. 
Error message was:  "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Message did not
receive a reply (timeout by message bus)" "

There is no splash screen or anything; nothing actually displays and there are
no error messages even with -d.

Are you using KDE as your DE? re dbus and hal started?

No, I'm using GNOME.

Both hald and dbus are started.

I suffer from the exact some bug, I'm using KDE(4.3.1) as my DE and both hald
and dbus are started.

Can one of you please try to get a backtrace of the issue?

(In reply to comment #4)

I experience exactly the same problem. It occured since I recently upgraded
from KDE 4.3.0 to 4.3.1. And yes, hald and dbus are started. ;-)

I'm by no means a developer, so I'm not quite familiar with generating
backtraces but this is what I did so far:

I set "-ggdb" in my [C,CXX]FLAGS and added "nostrip splitdebug" to FEATURES in
make.conf. I also rebuild amarok with the "debug" USE flag.

Then I ran gdb but I'm afraid it didn't reveal any new information:

gdb /usr/bin/amarok
GNU gdb 6.8
This GDB was configured as "i686-pc-linux-gnu"...
(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/bin/amarok
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]

Error message was:  "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Message did not

Program exited with code 0377.
(gdb) KCrash: Application 'amarok' crashing...

If I can do anything to get a better backtrace please let me know.

Do you get anything useful by running "strace amarok"?

Have you run revdep-rebuild after updating media-libs/jpeg? Are you sure you're
not hitting bug 283406 in particular comment 14 ?

I didn't have any jpeg-6 on my system but I did have jpeg-compat-6b And
removing that has fixed my problem. Thank you.

Yay, it's working again! Removing jpeg-compat-6b did the trick. There were some
broken packages afterwards but nothing revdep-rebuild couldn't fix. Thanks a
lot!

(In reply to comment #11)
> I didn't have any jpeg-6 on my system but I did have jpeg-compat-6b And

Does anyone else still have this bug after doing the above?

I didn't have jpeg-compat-6b but rather jpeg-7, reemerging it fixed the problem
for me.

I had this same problem.

Removing "jpeg-compat" eliminated the problem:

# emerge -C jpeg-compat


Additional info 1:

However, I did run across this:
http://forum.mandriva.com/viewtopic.php?p=716109&sid=5d6c121e9ec40305545393c5c6d22b68

According to this, the problem may actually be with qt4-common. What do I know?
I'm just a user.


Additional Info 2:

After I unmerged jpeg-compat, I wanted to see if there might be additional
issues. Specifically, I wanted to check what else might need jpeg-compat. Note
the following:

pyrodyno ~ # emerge -s jpeg-compat

*  media-libs/jpeg-compat

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild  N    ] media-libs/jpeg-compat-6b  0 kB

Total: 1 package (1 new), Size of downloads: 0 kB
pyrodyno ~ # equery d jpeg-compat
 * Searching for jpeg-compat ...
!!! No matching package or all versions masked for jpeg-compat


Oopsies! I realize jpeg-compat is a transitional package. But the above is a
bit weird to me. In order to determine what else needed jpeg-compat, I
temporarily masked jpeg-compat in /etc/portage/package.mask. Re-running "emerge
-puNDv world" showed that the current revisions of nxnode, nxserver-freeedition
and nxclient are dependent on jpeg-compat.

Hope the above helps.

For what it's worth, if you unmerge jpeg-compat, you _must_ re-emerge mplayer.

You probably also want to re-emerge any package with the USE="jpeg" flag turned
on. Just to be on the safe side.

More follow on information:

If you choose to remove jpeg-compat, you'll also need to re-emerge webkit-gtk.
You probably want to do this before re-emerging all packages with USE="jpeg".

On my system, the following packages had USE="jpeg" set:

tiff lcms xv fltk dillo jasper sdl-image libquicktime gegl gpac dvgrab
libvncserver cups wine djvu gimp xsane imagemagick transcode DirectFB netpbm
imlib2 windowmaker fontforge dcraw okular krdc

Of these, gimp and the upgraded version of midori required the re-emerge of
webkit-gtk before being able to complete successfully.

Actually, revdep-rebuild shows a lot of stuff which wants to use libjpeg.so.62
{which is from jpeg-compat}. Your milage may very and I'm not a programmer.

Guy,

this is where --as-needed helps. Are you sure most of the breakage isn't caused
by .la references? In any case, this is outside the realm of amarok.

Actually I just spent most of today trying to get the system to work without
the jpeg 6 librarys or the jpeg-compat ones. Half my system is version 7, half
version6. Everything works with the jpeg-compat EXCEPT amarok.

So I definitely feel this is something to do with Amarok wanting jpeg-7, and
finding and using jpeg-6, and having problems because of it. 

None of the other software has this problem as far as I've seen.

Everything except binary only pkgs must be recompiled to use media-libs/jpeg-7.
So, what you're saying about "half of..." is wrong and most likely the root of
this problem. [1]

[1] http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-792906.html

> So I definitely feel this is something to do with Amarok wanting jpeg-7, and

If one of the indirect libs (deps) amaroK is using is still built against
libjpeg.so.62 instead of libjpeg.so.7, there will be problems for sure.

And here is the list of packages that need jpeg-compat we know of,

http://tinderbox.dev.gentoo.org/misc/rindex/media-libs/jpeg-compat

All binary only packages. There's no excuse to use it for anything else,
and if you find a package that needs it please open a new bug.

So, unless amaroK or Qt4 has somewhere in it's source files line with
dlopen("libjpeg.so.62") this bug should be closed as INVALID.

After getting rid of the last traces of libjpeg.so.62 on my system, amarok now
works for me.

I take it that the silence is a sign of it working now. Closing.

I yust installed kde-4.3.1 and I have the same problem.
No traces of jpeg-compat, I have only libjpeg7 installed.
Revdep-rebuild tells my system is consistent.
