I can play music without any problems. Please provide the crash log. Run "apport-collect 562713".

I noticed that audaous would complain "Program received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction."

It is certainly because the package compiled with some extension of specific CPU.

[Benjamin Drung (bdrung)]

can you install the -dbg package and create the backtrace again?

What CPU do you have?

[zhangsong023 (zhangsong023)]

I know the reason now.
I checked the audacious source package with:
apt-get source audacious
and found the default options of the configure script option enabled the sse2 extension.
AMD athlon CPUs don't support that.

Here's the patch:

I am sorry, the last line is superfluous.

[Benjamin Drung (bdrung)]

good catch. I will disable SSE2 on i386

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package audacious - 2.3-1ubuntu2

Hi, the version of the package in the ubuntu repository is still 2.3-1ubuntu1, when would the package be upgraded to 2.3-1ubuntu2?

Thanks.

[Benjamin Drung (bdrung)]

You can see the build status here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/audacious/2.3-1ubuntu2
Once the package is build, it can take one day until the package appears on your mirror.

[zhangsong023 (zhangsong023)]

Upgraded.
Thanks.
