When I double-click or right-click—>reload a playlist, amarok sometimes crashes. Usually after new tracks have been added, but I'm not quite sure what the pattern is. I consulted the amarok wiki and nothing there helped.
I tried following the debugging How-To, but I have this problem:

This GDB was configured as "i386-linux"...amarokapp: No such file or directory.
Also, I tried going through the list of things to do in the FAQ, but my ALSA libs are up-to-date, I'm using SQLite, tried different audio engines, and have disabled "auto suspend if idle after..." in Sound System under Kcontrol. The only thing I don't know about is this:
Make sure that all the libraries that amaroK uses were compiled with the same GCC version as amaroK itself. The situation when amaroK is compiled using GCC 3.4.x and linked against taglib which was compiled using GCC 3.3.x can lead to crashes even if you are not editing tags.
But I don't think I've updated GCC since installing amarok. In short, I'm stumped. Any ideas?
Originally posted by tehuti Yeah it's 1.3.6. It doesn't just happen with a specific track; it crashes when I load any of the playlists.
This could be a distro specific problem. I have tried amarok 1.3.6 on Mandriva 2006 and Suse 10 and it works fine without any crashes. It could be a good idea to file a bug report to your distro maintainer.
Thanks for the reply RedShirt. I was about to go and try a different engine but now I can't get the problem to reoccur. I don't think anything changed much from eariler today except that I shut down the machine and came back now and booted up again.
This happens to me too. I'm using Ubuntu 5.10 and the xine engine. I found it doesn't crash as often as it used to with gstreamer but it tends to stop responding.
EDIT> I'm also using Gnome 2.12.1
