Note that disabling desktop effects allows Amarok to launch.

It's an issue with your Intel graphics driver. If you disable the analyzer visualization applet, it will also work with compositing.

That said, I would rather see this issue solved for all users (I'm an Amarok developer).

Mark, any upstream bug known for this? Probably a bug in mesa, as 965-dri is in the backtrace.

I don't know of any, but I'm not very familiar with such issues either. The odd thing is, Amarok is only doing fairly simple drawing operations. No shaders, and nothing advanced. The crash happens with a plain drawPixmap() call, so that's pretty much the most basic operation there is. I wonder how compositing or anything else with OpenGL works for the user at all.

We have a patch to work around this issue. The fix will also be featured in Amarok 2.8.1. If you require it earlier, please let me know.

Sure, link it so we can apply it.
