Just did a brand new install of openSUSE/KDE, which includes Amarok Version 2.7.0 Using KDE 4.10.2 "release 1".
My music lives on a separate partition called MUSIC. Within this system I believe that is /var/run/media/barry/MUSIC I opened the Amarok settings, and selected that location under "Configure Local Collection". Clicked "Apply" Clicked "Full Rescan" The scan starts, but immediately starts throwing up error messages reading:
Then halts. What gives? Is it the m3u files gumming stuff up? Despite using it for three years now, I still find that Linux file structures baffle me. |

/var/run/media/ seems to be a very odd place to look for an external device, shouldn't that just be in /media/? Especially if you are looking for an external drive: please make sure thre drive or partition is mounted.
Running Kubuntu 22.10 with Plasma 5.26.3, Frameworks 5.100.0, Qt 5.15.6, kernel 5.19.0-23 on Ryzen 5 4600H, AMD Renoir, X11
FWIW: it's always useful to state the exact Plasma version (+ distribution) when asking questions, makes it easier to help ... |

fyi - this is the new local in openSUSE 12.3 and it appears also in Arch, seems to be part of udisks2. found a post stating that Ubuntu made a patch so that external devices are mounted to /media/user_name

This looks like an Amarok bug to me, it should just skip unreadable playlists and not halt when it encounters these. Can you please provide a full debug output of an example Amarok run where this happens? Run amarok from console as `amarok --debug --nofork` and capture the output, you might need to compress it before uploading, as it will be probably big. |

Output attached, but it looks like something is getting stuck in a loop:

Just thinking: could it be that I need to install codecs? Been using Mint/Ubuntu, where everything is installed automatically - possibly openSUSE doesn't do that?

proprietary codecs are not hosted in openSUSE repos, for those you need to use Packman, explanation: http://en.opensuse.org/Restricted_formats
to resolve the issue see http://opensuse-community.org/Restricted_Formats and then do the one click install for your version

This seems to be more likely the problem, please check that you have access to these files using your file manager (ie. check that they can be e.g. copied to the Desktop) |

Darned! I'm way too spoiled by Mint & Ubuntu. "Hey! let's figure out what 95% of users will want and need, and make that standard!"
I have changed the permissions on the MUSIC folder and its contents, and I THINK a scan is happening right now. I swear, one more niggling thing like this and I'll nuke the openSUSe install and go back to Mint. |
