Description Rob Jacob 2008-04-10 03:52:33 UTC
I'm using  kde-base/juk-3.5.8

I try to start juk from the command line as a regular user.  It shows the splash screen and the "loading" counter but crashes before displaying the main window.

I've done a resync and "emerge --update --deep world" but it still happens.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge kde-base/juk-3.5.8
2. start juk as a regular user
3. watch crash
4. start juk as superuser
5. watch it work great!
Actual Results:  
jacobhome2[38]: juk
   (juk splash screen comes up and "Loading" counter appears.    It always stops at at 7790 even though I have 8100 songs)
    (then the following appears in the terminal)
kbuildsycoca running...
QSocketNotifier: Invalid socket specified
QSocketNotifier: Internal error
......(above two lines repeated many times)

juk: ERROR: Unable to save covers to disk!
DCOP aborting (delayed) call from 'anonymous-15228' to 'juk'
juk: ERROR: Communication problem with juk, it probably crashed.
Exit 2

Expected Results:  
load all the songs and show me the main juk screen.  This is what happens when I run juk as superuser and load the same directory full of songs.

other programs running:
firefox
several xterms

I guess this happens, when some file gets corrupted, probably due to a crash of juk/X11. Here solved by starting all over again... ;-(

# mv ${HOME}/.kde/share/config/jukrc ${HOME}/.kde/share/config/jukrc.bak
# mv ${HOME}/.kde/share/apps/juk ${HOME}/.kde/share/apps/juk.bak

Check your system for hardware issues, file system issues, make sure you use valid, conservative compiler flags, etc..

For sure a local problem and not a bug.
