Amarok crash

because of some kernel issues in openSUSE 12.3 (for my computer) I have decided to revert to a clean install of 12.2 for the meantime.

All is set up as I like it but I am having some problems with Amarok crashing on exit.

Running KDE 4.10 with Amarok and associated files from packman - tried switiching to Amarok from the KDE repo but seeing the same behaviour.

crash handler reports

Executable: amarok PID: 6525 Signal: Segmentation fault (11)

running from konsole get the following on exit

any help greatly appreciated.

If you are running 4.10.3, you might take a look at this
Sorry, if it’s crashing on start, then it’s a different problem. For start, you might try then phonon-backend-vlc, and see does the issue persist

Could be the same problem as here:

ahhhh yes. That’s it.
I guess I should have searched harder.
Thanks for the info.

everything working well now after today’s KDE updates.
