Description Markus Wernig 2016-05-09 10:59:15 UTC
During a @world update (May 8 2016), media-sound/amarok-2.8.90-r1 was rebuilt and shows the following behaviour ever since:

1) On startup, an error popup is shown that says "The process for the file protocol died unexpectedly.". Playing music still works, but all operations that require a file dialog (open, save as ...) fail.
I've seen it fail in two ways now:
a) It tries to start the file manager (Dolphin), as can be seen in the taskbar's startup notification, but cannot. (Example: Right-click on a song, click "Edit Track Details", in the following dialog try to click the "Folder" icon to the right of the file name).
b) It opens an empty file dialog without any entries in (what should be) the folder listing. (Ex.: In the main menu choose Playlist->Add Media)

Starting amarok with --debug shows nothing more than the same error message (The process for the file protocol died unexpectedly.) multiple times.


2) On startup, the volume is always set to 0, regardless of what volume was set when amarok was closed. After the volume is set manually, sound can be played again. (I put this here since it resulted from the same rebuild, but cannot say if it is really related to the "file protocol" problem.)


Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Till Schäfer 2016-05-10 14:31:33 UTC
I had a similar kio-file problem after the migration from KDE4 and reported this upstream. I guess the workaround described in the bug (delete kdebugrc) will work for you, too. 

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=354647

If the issue is the same for you as reported upstream, can you please upload your problematic kdebugrc file upstream. Maybe we can iron out the problem with it by comparing several versions.

If the upstream bug applies to you it is unrelated to amarok.

The volume control may be unrelated...

I have deleted ~/.kde4/share/config/kdebugrc, but the problem persists.

I have been running plasma for some months now, and the problem just appeared after the latest emerge.
Comment 3 Markus Wernig 2016-05-10 15:16:56 UTC
Recompiled all kio related packages, and the error does not occur anymore.

# emerge -1 `qlist -IC kio`

Well, the volume problem persists, but maybe this is rather related to #582552

Marking as solved.
