Bug 193647 – media-sound/amarok-1.4.7 - first instance of amarok hangs on play. 2nd instance works

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Sascha Jüngling 2007-09-24 14:39:35 UTC]

When I boot up my laptop, start amarok (1.4.7) and press "Play", amarok would hang and not respond anymore (I'd have to kill it). After killing it and launching it a second time, the speaker now gives out a short noise and playing from amarok then works.

I already talked to the guys on the amarok IRC channel, but unfortunately they couldn't help either. One of them, Richlv, suggested to remove any "suspicious" CFLAGS. So I recompiled with O2 instead of O3, but that didn't solve the issue. For backtracing, I kept using O2, removed -fomit-frame-pointer, added -ggdb and recompiled amarok with FEATURES="nostrip" USE="debug". However, the backtrace still looks rather meaningless:


Reading symbols from /usr/lib/libmad.so.0...done.
Loaded symbols for /usr/lib/libmad.so.0
0xb7f4c410 in __kernel_vsyscall ()
(gdb) bt full
#0  0xb7f4c410 in __kernel_vsyscall ()

#2  0xb5bc3f13 in ?? () from /lib/libpthread.so.0
No symbol table info available.
Backtrace stopped: previous frame identical to this frame (corrupt stack?)
(gdb) 


I tried using "thread apply all bt full" before, but gdb wouldn't output anything for that, so I went with "bt full".

It's not a biggie and I guess I'll have to wait until a new version is released and hope that it automagically fixes itself. Starting amarok twice after boot is nothing too annoying. Finally, my emerge info:

No idea what caused it, but issue seems to be gone. Fixed.
