Again, would this not be picked up by the user as a general trend in her/ his user experience of the system? Applications usually honor a set of common/default settings (stored in, say /etc/default/myapp), and a set of per-user settings (stored in, say, ~/.myapp). There are a million ways you can bork an application's user settings without necessarily borking the libraries or the application as such. For example, you could select the wrong output device in your Amarok user settings, causing Amarok to crash on launch. Another user, with the right output device configured, may run Amarok without a glitch. To make a long story short: yes, setting up a different user just to test applications helps. Of course, it could be argued that deleting or renaming ~/.myapp would suffice. However, modern GUI applications tend to scatter their config files all over your ~/ haystack, so that finding the offending configuration file may take a bit of effort. -- Cheerio, Klistvud http://bufferoverflow.tiddlyspot.com Certifiable Loonix User #481801 Please reply to the list, not to me. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Amarok crashing on launch
Hi Amarok is crashing almost immediately that I launch it on an up-to-date testing/ wheezy machine using Gnome as the DE. Yesterday, Amarok worked fine, today it doesn't. I've run amarok --debug at the command line and get literally streams of output, with multi-colored code tags (I think). However, attempting to capture this output via amarok --debug amarok.txt (or | amarok.txt) doesn't capture anything at all in a text format that I can copy and paste as part of this request for help. Two questions, then: (1) how do I capture all of the debugging output from amarok --debug? (2) any initial thoughts on why Amarok might start to crash today? I updated today and rebooted yesterday, and Amarok was working fine for me yesterday after I booted up. So, it may have been something in today's updates (I only had 7 packages updated, but cannot remember which).
