Amarok crashing

[Brahma-Vihara]

Hi,
I haven't been able to use amarok since I upgraded Kde from 4.3 to 4.4. I've been using Kaffeine in the mean time and thought that eventually it would get sorted out as the 4.4 version gets maturer and maturer. I'm now on 4.4.3 but still Amarok crashes on me after I start it up and pick a song to play.

I've tried the following without luck:

/home/brahma_vihara/.kde4/share/apps/amarok-old

Here's the out-put I get when I open Amarok through a console:

Besides Amarok, the rest of the system works fine.

Any pointers are much appreciated?

But have you tried deleting all your hidden amarok config files, might want to try that first.

This folder: .kde4/share/apps/amarok

These files:

.kde4/share/config/amarok-appletsrc
.kde4/share/config/amarok_homerc
.kde4/share/config/amarokrc

Yeah, I did on a previous time (I re-did it again just to check, but with no luck).

First time I did it, though, I also moved

.kde4/share/config/amarok-appletsrc.lock.H19476

to

.kde4/share/config/amarok-appletsrc.lock.H19476-old


When I realized my mistake, I moved it back (I believe it disconnected amarok from kwallet or something).

I also uninstalled and reinstalled amarok through yast one time, but it kept on crashing anyway.

Please post this:

zypper lr -d

And if you start amarok from a terminal with: amarok

what do you get in the terminal

zypper lr -d:

I'll post the out-put from terminal in another post because the text became too long and the site asked me to shorten it.

I've noticed that I get slightly different out-puts each time amarok crashes...

Clean out /tmp, not by removing it, but through Yast.

Start Yast - System - /etc/sysconfigeditor, search for TMP, and set the system to clean /tmp at boot. Reboot and see if the errors persist.

[caf4926]

Clear Temp Files at Boot - openSUSE Forums

[Brahma-Vihara]

Still not working.

I followed caf4926 3 steps for /tmp, i.e.

1. Navigated to System - Cron - Max_Days_In_Temp and set it to 1
2. Next confirmed that the dir to clear is /tmp
in TMP_DIRS_TO_CLEAR
3. Then to: Clear_Temp_Dirs_AT_Bootup and changed it to yes

After reboot, I checked and saw that the files in /tmp had been cleared exept for 4 folders.

This is the out-put from terminal:

Would it help if I started amarok with "amarok --debug" instead of normal mode?

Which four folders, when did you check (before or after logging in)?

I suggest you unconditionally update all 3 KDE4 repos, by starting the software installer, repo view, tick the KDE4 repos one by one, clicking on the 'Switch system packages to....' for each. Accept and all KDE4 packages should be reinstalled.
