http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=943480 Bug ID: 943480 Summary: Crash of Amarok, KNotify and Kaffeine when packman vlc and phonon-backend-vlc installed Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: 13.2 Hardware: All OS: openSUSE 13.2 Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Other Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: lambhaka@gmail.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/44.0.2403.157 Safari/537.36 Build Identifier: If the vlc from Packman repository and phonon-backend-vlc are both installed, then the system start to crash on multiple places (i.e. start of amarok, sound notifications in KNotify and from Kaffeine when trying to play dvd). The bug was already analysed by the kde team: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=347917 Current solution is as follows: * remove phonon-backend-vlc or * remove libvlccore7 and break phonon-backend-vlc dependency. Neither of that solutions seems to be ok for me. I think that it shouldn't even go so far - I should have got a conflict during an installation of some of the affected packages (libvlccore8 and libvlccore7 or phonon-backend-vlc and libvlccore8 or something like that). Also if it is not solved as a conflict, then if phonon-backend-vlc is removed, then possibly some of the codecs will not be available to the KDE system. The second solution seems to be the best for me if it works as I expect (phonon-backend-vlc should be able to use the libvlccore8 provided by the packman team, but it would be better to get the option automatically - not by accepting broken dependencies for phonon-backend-vlc by removing libvlccore7) I'm not sure how to contact the packman guys, cause one of the most resolutions could be the phonon-backend-vlc package provided by the packman team (not sure whether it is the best solution). Another solution could be to modify dependencies of the phonon-backend-vlc so, that the libvlccore8 provided by the packman repository also could satisfy phonon-backend-vlc requirements. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install phonon-backend-vlc and vlc from packman repository 2. Start amarok 3. Crash Actual Results: Crash Expected Results: Conflict by installation in the software management -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
