Amarok problem [SOLVED]

I just upgraded to Amarok 1.4.4-2 and now when I try to launch the program, it segfaults. No messages, just,

[dark_deity@Arch ~] amarok
Segmentation fault

Anyone know what I can do about this? I know I haven't provided much useful information, but I don't really know what you guys need to help me with my problem.

Re: Amarok problem [SOLVED]

Ok...

So it seems like all QT apps segfault, and after rebooting my X-server doesn't work anymore with the nvidia drivers (normal and legacy). I'm now using the open-source nv driver...

Hmm. Well if multiple apps are segfaulting perhaps the problem is hardware related.  Check for things like bad ram, video card failure, processor, or heat related issues.

Re: Amarok problem [SOLVED]

Hmm, it seems there was a problem with my nvidia driver installation (even though I already resorted to using the oss nv driver, it still didn't work). After clearing out /usr/lib/tls, everything is back to normal : /

But anyways, problem solved...
