Amarok crashes in xfce/gnome using Edgy

[Jonathan Temple]

Binary package hint: amarok

I have a fairly new xubuntu install, and I recently tried to install amarok from the kubuntu amarok repository.

I added the amarok repositories to my apt sources.list and ran "sudo aptitude install amarok". It went about installing all dependencies. When it finished, I tried to run amarok, but it crashed with the following error:

Floating point exception (core dumped)

further investigation shows a crash when trying to start kdeinit:

jon@gimli:~$ kdeinit
Creating link /home/jon/.kde/socket-gimli.
Created link from "/home/jon/.kde/socket-gimli" to "/tmp/ksocket-jon"
kdeinit: Shutting down running client.
---------------------------------
It looks like dcopserver is already running. If you are sure
that it is not already running, remove /home/jon/.DCOPserver_gimli__0
and start dcopserver again.
---------------------------------

Creating link /home/jon/.kde/tmp-gimli.
Created link from "/home/jon/.kde/tmp-gimli" to "/tmp/kde-jon"
kded: ERROR: Communication problem with kded, it probably crashed.
jon@gimli:~$

I actually tried installing kubuntu-desktop and logging into KDE. When logged into kde, amarok actually ran. Logging back into XFCE, it crashed. What's going on?

do you have kdebase-kio-plugins installed? if not, please install it.

If this fixes the crashing problem, please reject this bug, or mark it as a dupe of 66764

i'm about to fix that dependancy for amarok 1.4.5

[Jonathan Temple (jontemple)]

I do not know if it was originally installed, as I have since removed amarok.

I just installed it (and amarok). Apt did not download any new packages, and amarok is still crashing.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Now that the final version of Feisty Fawn is available we were wondering if this issue still exists. Thanks in advance.

i couldn't tell you, i still run breezy in the old box, but in the new box
it works just fine. :)

kind regards / Mark

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

I take your statement to mean that it works fine in Edgy (the new box) but not in Breezy, which incidentally is no longer supported, is that correct?
