[Bug 1319164] Re: Amarok won't work on Lubuntu 14.04 AMD64

[truc]

There was no [Context View]-entry in
~/.kde/share/config/amarokrc
so I added it to the file and saved it.
Restart of Amarok or computer gives no improvement.

Nevertheless, thanks to the hint of Myriam that a graphical component could cause the problem, I made a relation between this problem with Amarok and another problem on my computer: the display goes crazy about every ten boots so a hard sutdown is necessary.
It has been elsewhere reported that this is due to the fact that the nouveau driver for nvidia has problems with my graphic card. A solution is to install the package nvidia-current.
So I installed nvidia-current, restarted the system and Amarok worked fine on every following trial of starting the program.
I then tried to remove the nvidia packages, which forced the system to use nouveau once again, and the problem was back.

In both cases, I saved the output of the terminal upon calling amarok or
amarok -d --nofork (attached file, I didn't find a way to attache
several files).

So I found a workaround to my problem.
Though, I don't think that this problem should happen.
Should this bug be attributed to another package (maybe xserver-xorg-video-nouveau)? Or should it be closed here and a new bug opened for another package?

Thanks for your help.
