After a fresh install of Amarok 2.2 and a complete scan of my collection, Amarok crashes when I enable a dynamic (random) playlist. Afterwards, Amarok does not start at all anymore. Not even KDE's crash handler shows up. See the attached files for the console output of amarok --debug and the backtrace of the KDE crash handler. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Created attachment 206485 [details] First Start, dynamic playlist
Created attachment 206487 [details] KDE's backtrace
Created attachment 206488 [details] Crash on second start

Same thing with mysql-5.0.84-r1 (if this could be caused by the mysql installation complaining about -fPIC in CFLAGS).

(In reply to comment #5) > Same thing with mysql-5.0.84-r1 (if this could be caused by the mysql > installation complaining about -fPIC in CFLAGS). If you still have -fPIC in the CFLAGS for mysql, please remove it - the hack is no longer required and can cause issues. Does rebuilding mysql fix the issue? Looking at the first backtrace, I see the following: amarok: [BiasSolver] track selected: "Gelaber 1" "EMPIRE" <unknown program name>(7618)/: Communication problem with "amarok" , it probably crashed. Have you tried moving the collection to another dir and starting amarok again? It shouldn't crash. Another thing you could do is to add incrementally files to your collection to check whether you have a problem with some files or their names. You can also try to move the collection to a mysql server, instead of using the embedded server.
Compiling mysql and Amarok without -fPIC results in exactly the same behaviour. According to the KDE Bug Report, Amarok crashes the second time (after enabling a dynamic playlist) because the playlist is still activated.
Where did this idea about this being mysql-related come from?
I don't think this has something to do with it. I think there were some MySQL related problems with Amarok 2 some time ago, so I thought this one could also be MySQL related.
I'm closing this bug as it is reported as fixed by upstream. The relevant upstream bugs are: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200546 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=201111 If anyone hits this issue again, please reopen the bug.
