Ubuntu
audacious package

Audacious crashes after several seconds of playing an MP3.

Asked by Keantoken

Audacious just dies after several seconds, with no error message or anything. I searched Google and found one person seeming to say the same thing, but it seems this is a rare bug. I just installed Ubuntustudio on a Core2duo from a DVD I burned.

To open the file I go to one of my non-linux hard drives (I'm prompted for my password), and then select my Music folder, click open, and Audacious loads all the music inside into the playlist.

Okay, what's actually happening is that Audacious crashes whenever it reaches the last file when populating the playlist. (maybe not the last file, I have no way to tell)

I also chose to encrypt my home directory when installing. Could this have caused problems?

Okay, I tried running

$ sudo audacious

But then for some reason, my windows hard drives didn't show up in the file manager, so I couldn't test. This is odd. Why does root not see my drives and could this be the problem?

No one will bite? Come one guys! I'm a willing subject!

I'm new to Linux, so forgive me for not doing this earlier. When run in the terminal normally, this is left in the terminal after the crash:

---------------------------------------------

~$ audacious
Floating point exception
~$
--------------------------------------

Changing audio bit depth does not affect this.
