Amarok crashed on startup in libamarok_massstorage-device

[Dima Ryazanov]

Binary package hint: amarok

I'm running Kubuntu Jaunty. After upgrading to KDE 4.3 and Amarok 2.1.0 from http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/backports/ubuntu, Amarok crashed on startup:

I'm not sure how you ended up with the kubuntu-ppa backports, but the official backports[1] are the recommended way for running the latest Amarok now. Confusing I know, and I only just recently found out that this is the preferred method and don't know of the right place to make that information clear.

Please try this version and report back with whether this issue still exists and the exact version you're using (''apt-cache policy amarok''). Thanks!

Oh interesting... I got my URL from http://www.kubuntu.org/

[Andrew Ash (ash211)]

You're right, I was a bit surprised too. But backports has 2.1.1 and the PPA only 2.1.0 so that's my interpretation of the reason for the recommendation now. Here's a comment by an Amarok upstream representative [1].

I'm having this problem with 2.1.1 in Jaunty...anyone have luck fixing it?

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

If this is still an issue with Kubuntu 2.2 in Kubuntu 9.10, could somebody install amarok-dbg and get a new backtrace please?
