Hi people
A recent update seems to be causing amarok to crash when I attempt to play a
song. I get the usual signal 11 stuff of the gui. From the commadline I get
[kcrash] TDECrash: Application 'amarokapp' crashing...
Invalid write to eventfd: Bad file descriptor
Code should not be reached at pulsecore/fdsem.c:199, function pa_fdsem_post().
Aborting.
[kcrash] Unable to start Dr. Konqi
Any idea as to what might be causing this? It's happening on all pclos boxes.
Cheers to all,
Kate

Well, the error message is bubbling up from pulseaudio, so either amaroK is
passing it the wrong thing, or pulse has a bug. So, the first question is, do you
actually need any functionality pulseaudio provides and alsa doesn't? If not,
I would kill it—it's just one more thing that can go wrong on your system.
You might still want to file a bug against amaroK, though. If you do, it would
be a good idea to include the exact version of pulseaudio that's causing the
problem, and check with your distro to see if they're using any patches that
might affect fdsem.c

Most important is the way to reproduce.
I do not use amarok personally - my father does all the time - with PA.
Never complained so far.

I have amarok's engine as alsa. When I turn off pulseaudio amarok doesn't work

I installed Clementine and it works fine.
Something happened to somewhere that only affects amarok.
It may be a pclos exclusive problem.

I'm having the same issue with Amarok, I don't know what has caused it, I have had
too many updates to say which could have been the offending update. Just of note, if you
are running "intel" graphics that use i915 driver and 5.4.x kernel you may get
some font corruption if still using GDM to login, easiest "fix" is to go to pcc
>> boot, and change the display manager to TDM

Agreed, this is bad-Juju.
"eventfd Bad file descriptor" likely means the 64-bit value contained in the
eventfd has been trampled by another memory problem resulting in Undefined
Behavior. It is likely an Amarok problem as the virtual address space for the
process should keep Amarok walled off from the rest of the processes. That
doesn't mean that PA can't be going haywire and causing the problem if Amarok
and PA are communicated over the descriptor (or other parts of TDE), but my
bet is Amarok is the source of the problem.
Grab a strace of Amarok when the issue occurs and post that will the
bug-report. That should identify exactly what is failing if it is something
that is hard to reproduce.
