Amarok throwing a seg fault in testing
Hi all
I've run into a problem with Amarok not starting. When opened on the CL
it just reports segmentation fault. I have amarok-debug installed and
ran gdb amarok and this is the response:
GNU gdb (GDB) 7.2-debian
Copyright (C) 2010 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
<snip>
Reading symbols from /usr/bin/amarok...Reading symbols from
/usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/amarok...done.
I can't find any documentation what file gdb writes to and this output
doesn't tell me anything.
There are two potential causes:
1. This morning's testing update
2. Installing the nouveau driver for my nVidia card.
Searching on the Net, there is some material from 2008/09 that suggests
that Amarok doesn't/ didn't play nicely with non-nVidia drivers. I
cannot confirm that however.
If the problem is the video driver that's too bad. I like the resolution
nouveau gives me, but is there anyway of tweaking it so that Amarok
plays nicely too?
TIA
AG
