Bug 96723 – Amarok crashes which takes down gnome session, usually at end of playlist

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: VERIFIED NEEDINFO

[Description Max Brustkern 2005-06-21 12:35:10 UTC]

Amarok 1.2.3 randomly crashes, frequently taking my gnome session with it
forcing me to login again.  It happens frequently when the end of a playlist is
reached, but occasionally at other times as well.

Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce
Steps to Reproduce:
Frequently, when amarok reaches the end of a playlist it exits and ends my gnome
session.  Sometimes it happens when not at the ened of a playlist, and it
doesn't always happen at the end of a playlist.  I cannot reliably reproduce it.



CFLAGS are O3, fomit-frame-pointer, march=athlon-xp, and pipe
Relevant USE variables are flac, gstreamer, mad, mysql, oggvorbis, opengl,
visualization, xine, xmms
Using xine engine, xine-lib-1.0-r2, same CFLAGS
Use variables for xine-lib are X, aac, aalib, alsa, directfb, dvd, fbcon, flac,
gnome, ipv6, mng, nls, opengl, oss, png, samba, sdl, theora, v4l, vorbis,
win32codecs

Have you tried with newer versions? Tried switching engines? 
Have you got a backtrace, or some output from running amarok in a console (it 
may help to compile amarok with USE="debug") 
 
Please always post your 'emerge info'.

Hi,

I had exactly the same problem. Do you happen to use Firefox in cunjunction with
the FoxyTunes extension? If so, try to disable it and see if Amarok still
crashes at the end of the playlist. Without FoxyTunes, Amarok never crashed on
my machine again. According to
http://www.iosart.com/foxytunes/firefox/index.html the most recent version of
FoxyTunes fixes the bug, but I haven't tested it.

Very old version, no feedback.
