[gentoo-user] amaroK launching Kmail = virus?

[Fernando Meira]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 392 bytes --]

Hi,

been using amaroK for a long time now, and just few days ago, something
weird started to happen.
At some point, when changing song, I get an error message saying that amaroK
was unable to launch Kmail.
I do not have Kmail, so I understand the problem.. but why amaroK wants to
use Kmail?
Can this be a symptom a virus or worm trying to spread?

Any idea?

Thanks,
Fernando

Interesting.. Did the program error out? I do know it tries to send a stack 
trace when it errors out.

It isn't any more rather an attempt to send a bug report.

Yes, that's true.. it could be a bug report!
Some times, after pressing OK to the error window, amaroK goes off right
away, other times just after a few more songs...

Same problem here as well but since I use KMail, I know what is happening. 
Amarok is crashing weirdly. Amarok crashes and tries to send a bug report 
using KMail but interestingly it keeps on playing music and does what it is 
supposed to but it still says that it has crashed.

Doesn't make sense, does it?

I am using 1.3.6 and i havent had problem with crashes unless I start messing 
with the cover manager..

I would upgrade.. If your using the newest copy, then i am not hitting those 
for some reason.

I am using 1.3.6 as well and not messing with cover manager. In fact I didn't 
even know something like that existed until you mentioned :P

The crashes are random...no way I can reproduce them.

Well, I'm using 1.2.4 thou..
It behaved very well before.. but now it just crashes all the time... I dont
remember to have done anything different that may have caused this...
Anyway, I'll update to 1.3.6 and see how it goes..

Although amarok is probably my favorite audio player, I have found it to be
a little finicky. I usually find it works best with xine. I usually use a
"-arts -gstreamer xine" so xine is the only engine available. I also usually
have a "-mysql -postgres" because it seems silly to me to have a database
running to listen to music. If you disable both of those, it just uses
sqlite. I have also use "-opengl" becase at one time (they probably have
fixed it by now, but I haven't checked) there was an issue with amarok,
opengl, and nvidia cards. I don't use/watch any of the visualizations anyway
so I have never seen the point. I make sure to add in "musicbrainz" since
that is a nice service. So to sum up, my use flags are generally: "-arts
-gstreamer xine -mysql -postgres -opengl musicbrainz" I know it isn't a
direct solution to your problem, I just thought I would share my
experiences.

I use arts mysql opengl here and it runs fine.. Must be something else.. 

The database is cool for dynamic mode.. I can create my own smartlist's.. I 
dont know how I listened to music without it before.. Its awesome..

Yes, it must... I'm using these:

media-sound/amarok-1.3.6 [1.2.4] +arts -debug -flac -gstreamer +kde
-kdeenablefinal +mp3 +musicbrainz -mysql -noamazon +opengl -postgres
-visualization +vorbis +xine -xinerama +xmms

dont know what can be wrong... Thanks anyway!

Looks like a problem in compiling with Arts. Try with -arts.

You were right!!
Without arts compiles fine!

I nailed it on my system. I had some free time so installed gdb and ran 
amarok. Looks like if "Retrieve similar artists" is checked under Last.fm, it 
crashes amaroK. I unchecked the option and now it runs flawlessly.
Check it in your case as well.

Make sense why I never saw it. I would run that by the amarok folk so they can 
fix it..

Ok, I did have that option on!
So, I'm trying now without it.. let's see what happens :)
I'm still using version 1.2, thou I'll try later to compile again
1.3.6without arts and see if that was the problem!

Thanks,
