1- open audacious

2- view some song's 'track details' from main window or playlist window and close it

3- try to see some track 'track details' again but you won't be able to until you close audacious and reopen it

WORKAROUND: use File/Close instead of the close window button

[Christian Aasan (christian-aasan)]

I was able to confirm this, however it seems to happend only when I close the track details by using the X in the upper right corner of the window, not when I use the Close button.

I have attached some errormessages I get:

crashcookie : Can you check if you experince the bug if you close the window using the close button?

[crashcookie (crashcookie)]

you are right, i missed that, it only happens when you close it with the upper right X

[Christian Aasan (christian-aasan)]

Thanks for the info!

Filed upstream: http://redmine.atheme.org/issues/show/103

[crashcookie (crashcookie)]

thanks christian, remember Redmine is becoming deprecated
in the page it reads:

Use JIRA for bugtracking, and Confluence for Wikis.
Redmine will be shutdown once any bugs of importance are triaged.
See the Confluence page on Redmine migration for further information.

i don't know when that will happen but it's nice to have that in mind :)

[Christian Aasan (christian-aasan)]

Yeah, I noticed that message to, but there is no activity in jira yet, so i figuered they havent started using it yet. I'll keep an eye on it and file the bug in jira if need.

This is fixed in version 2.0.1, this version is availible in karmic. If you need / want it in jaunty you can find backports here:

https://launchpad.net/~bdrung/+archive/ppa

[Christian Aasan (christian-aasan)]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, I am closing it because the bug has been fixed in the latest development version of Ubuntu - Karmic Koala.

This is a significant bug in Ubuntu. If you need a fix for the bug in previous versions of Ubuntu, please do steps 1 and 2 of the SRU Procedure [1] to bring the need to a developer's attention.

Christian, I can't find the backported package in the PPA you mentioned.

[Christian Aasan (christian-aasan)]

Sorry for the late reply. It seems the maintainer has removed the package from his ppa.

[Christian Aasan (christian-aasan)]

Hi Gabor

Can you see if this PPA works:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/bdrung/backports/ubuntu jaunty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/bdrung/backports/ubuntu jaunty main

Chris

[sz (szeder)]

Yes, it does, thanks.

[sz (szeder)]

Erm, what I meant with "yes, it does" is:
- yes, the PPA contains audacious 2.0.1 packages for jaunty
- yes, those packages seem to fix this bug
Thanks.
