amarok crashes on start up

[pirhana]

Binary package hint: amarok

I have upgraded my kubuntu9.10 to kde 4.4(all using kpackage/apt only). After upgrading, amarok doesn't start up. It crashes and take me through the bug reporting tool which generates a report and at the end says the report probably not useful. When I try to start the application by giving the command "amarok" from CLI, it crashes and display the following messages on the console. This behavior is consistent and was never able to get amarok up after the upgrade. I have reinstalled almost entire kde libraries and components including amarok and it does not help. Also, I have applied ALL the available patches and updates as of today( March 3, 2010). Nothing helped so far.

I am attaching the report generated by the kcrash as well as apport along with this. Would be more than happy to provide any further info on this if asked.

OS: Kubuntu 9.10

Thanks indeed,

The backtracre indicates a problem with Phonon, but you are missing debugging symbols. Try again by installing the phonon-dbg package.

Could you also list what version of Amarok you are using? The latest one is 2.2.90 i believe

Thanks indeed for the quick reply ! I appreciate it. I installed the phonon-dbg package and repeated the same steps again. It still says the crash report may not be useful. Anyway , I am attaching it . My amarok is version 2.2.2 which is the latest available in kubuntu repo.

Thanks again,
Nidal

I am still seeing this bug with Ubuntu 10.04.1 and Amarok 2.3.0.

Never mind…my /var/tmp was full and it caused the crash.
