amarok-1.4.1-2

netjrc · #1 10th July 2006, 05:18 PM

I just updated amarok using yum. Everything works fine until I close de application.

It doesn't matter which method I use to close it I always get the same error.
Attached is the debug information.

Does anybody have the same problem? and maybe a solution?

Thanks

Fedora Core 5 (fully updated)
amarok-extras-nonfree (livna) installed (I also found the problem without this plugin)

Actually, yes. I do. I even compiled mine from the source rpm to get xine-lib as an option because I don't use livna. Not to mention, even though the package maintainer went through some effort to put gstreamer support back in, I can't use gstreamer which worked fine in 1.4. Which is the reason why I recompiled it with xine-lib support.

I compiled everything from source (including xine) and I still get the same error. I guess it is a bug in amarok-1.4.1. I suppose I'll have to wait for the bug fix, the new release or downgrade it to the previous version.

Actually, it's not really that big of a deal for me as if my computer is on, amarok is probably running.

The most disappointing thing about 1.4 thus far, at least from my perspective, is the drop of gstreamer support. Yes, it's not feature complete yet, but I think it works excellently for what it is.

it's known in bugzilla https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla....cgi?id=197779 sadly, the update hasn't seemed to fix it yet.
has anyone noticed their flac support broken as well? I've had to compile xine-lib and amarok myself to get it working again. I've read there's a bug in xine-lib 1.1.1, but it worked fine w/ 1.4.0.

The problem is not with amarok itself, but being incompatible with latest qt update.
Anyway, I am also *very* annoyed by this, the folks at the bugzilla page are saying that they are working on it, so do yum update regulary and your will see your problem fixed

I'm actually pleased to read your problems, as I didn't like the 'right-click in playlist causes crash' bug which was fixed in 1.4.1, so compiled 1.4.1 from source and thought I'd permanently broken amarok, as I was experiencing this error ever since that time (and got it when I downgraded back to 1.4 from fedora-extras. Whew!

Here's hoping they get this sorted quickly.

EDIT: Yep, a downgrade to qt-3.3.6-0.1.fc5.i386 solved the crash on exit (and the right-click crash is gone in 1.4.1).

Code:

(as su) 
rpm -e --nodeps qt

then rpm the above qt package - sweet!

EDIT 2: Now Valknut doesn't work (needs qt-3.3.6-0.6). Welcome to dependency hell.

EDIT 3: Finally got the swine running. Re-yummed Valknut, which added the newer qt, which broke amarok again, bu on re-downgrading to the older qt, both amarok and Valknut appear to be working fine. Finally!

It may very well just be me... I don't get an error message anywhere, but I don't have any working engine!! Not Gstreamer, not Xine, nothing... Anyone else encountered this problem with latets Amarok/Qt/KDE updates?

Install amarok-extras-nonfree from the livna repository to have a working xine engine.

(or download the rpm from rpm.livna.org/fedora/5/i386/amarok-extras-nonfree-1.4.1-2.lvn5.i386.rpm for i386 and rpm.livna.org/fedora/5/x86_64/amarok-extras-nonfree-1.4.1-2.lvn5.x86_64.rpm for x86)

That did it, thanks.

if anyone is having the flac playback problem I've had w/ xine-lib 1.1.1, you can update to 1.1.2 using freshrpms' package. if you have the gpg key, yum will update the livna rpm w/ the freshrpm package...that fixed the problem for me.
