Amarok won't load

[gregxcott]

Hi All,

I've just finished setting up my system, but am unhappy because Amarok isn't working anymore, It was for a little, And now when I start it I get a splash screen (Which rapidly dissapears) and then I get a loading task item in the task bar and then nothing, Not evem the email to amarok

Anyone else experiencing this?

Enter the command "amarok" in a terminal emulator e.g. konsole or gnome-terminal and post back the error message that gets printed on the screen when amarok exits.

Amarok:

Amarok: [Loader] Starting amarokapp..
Amarok: [Loader] Don't run gdb, valgrind, etc. against this binary! Use amarokapp.
Amarok: [Loader] amarokapp probably crashed!

MPlayer:

Segmentation fault

This is not the only media application that won't load, MPlayer won't load either, Could they be related?

Thanks for Your quick reply

Apparently, the segmentation faults have something to do with nvidia-glx. I am getting the same errors in my Lenny / Sid system. I will post if I am able to circumvent.

I have solved the issue now. I am able to start mplayer and amarok.

The issue was because of installing NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.05-pkg1.run which had conflicts with the Xen kernel 2.6.25-2-686 in my Debian Lenny / Sid system.

I did the following:

sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.05-pkg1.run --uninstall
sudo apt-get install nvidia-kernel-common
sudo apt-get install nvidia-kernel-2.6-686

I had to use an xorg.conf backup which I had made earlier. Hope that helps.
