This bug report is about the version of amaroK supplied in
the package "amarok-mysqlfree", but it probably also applies
to the package "amarok".
Every time certain tracks are played in amaroK, the application becomes completely unresponsive. It will finish playing the current track, but then the process will have to be killed. I managed to find the cause of the problem and also a solution. * Cause * As far as I could work out, the cause seemed to be that taglib (an amaroK dependancy) was compiled using an earlier version of GCC than amaroK was. (source: amaroK FAQ, http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/index.php/FAQ#amaroK_crashes_when_I_play_a_certain_track.2C_everytime.2C_what.27s_wrong.3F) * Solution * The solution that worked for me was to rebuild the "taglib" package and "pacman --upgrade" it, then do the same for amaroK. * Potential Problems * I haven't experienced this problem myself, but recompiling taglib with a newer version of GCC may break applications compiled with an earlier version of GCC that depend on it, or so I imagine -- see this bug report, for example ;) Cheers! |
