Hello

I must say, I feel very stupid to ask this, but I've recently installed amarok 2.8 and installed 2 scripts:
- ultimate lyrics
- good morning

I've activated them and restarted amarok... but I can't find any way to configure them oO
if I well remember, in the previous versions of amarok, a new button appeared in "configuration" to configure ultmate lyrics, but this does not happen anymore.

I'm sure the answer is quite simple, but I really can't find it

ulitimate lyrics should be under tools

Ultimate Lyrics puts its configuration options under Settings > Ultimate Lyrics, and always has as far as I remember.

OK, I think I'm experiencing a bug: I've nothing in "tools" (well, it's "outils" for me because my system is in french). See the screenshot attached.



thank you for your answers.

Check your "Settings" (Configurations in French) menu, as it might as well be there.

yes, of course I've also checked it
it's been 2 days that I'm looking for it, and I've searched everywhere: all the menus, in the configuration panel of amarok... I've tried all the wrench (to configure the playlist or the display of the collection)...

as you can see, I've enabled "amarok script console" that I don't even know what it is. I'm thinking about a missing dependency, so amarok can't load the scripts (?).

it's quite a problem because my cellphone just died, and I don't have other alarms to wake me up to go to work... the "good morning" script seemed to be great.

I'm actually using debian sid with amarok 2.8.0 on KDE 4.10.5.

I presume you did actually restart Amarok once you installed the script, didn't you?
How about checking if removing and installing the script again helps? No idea what went wrong in your installation, several Amarok devs tried to reproduce and couldn't.

yes, I restarted amarok a few times

here is what I just did:
- uninstall "good morning" and "ultimate lyrics"
- restart amarok
- install ultimate lyrics
- restart amarok
- install good morning
- restart amarok
nothing appears in the menus
- deactivate ultimate lyrics and good morning
- restart amarok
- reactivate ultimate lyrics
- restart amarok
(nothing)
reactivate good morning
- restart amarok
still nothing...

I'm going to purge and reinstall amarok.
a thing that must be said is that I deactivated some external modules and all the service scripts since the beginning. maybe I shouldn't ?

well... that's crazy.
here is what I've just done (without results):

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get purge amarok
sudo apt-get autoremove --purge
rm ~.kde/cache-zespy/Amarok-pixmaps.kcache
rm -r ~.kde/share/apps/amarok/
rm ~/kde/tmp-zespy/amarok*
sudo apt-get install amarok


my configuration of the previous installation of amarok was not deleted, so I've reactivated all the scripts and modules (where this informations are saved?)
I've installed ultimate lyrics and restarted amarok, but nothing appeared
I don't know what's wrong.

the config file is ~/.kde/share/config/amarokrc

try running:

Code: Select all

 kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental  2> /dev/null

oh yes, in config, so simply! (I've had a loooong day, my brain is out).

I've run your command but it changed nothing: no output,, and after a restart of amarok, I don't have the so wanted menu entry.
I really don't understand where the problem comes from. are there any way to test if the scripts can be executed by amarok? (with the script console thing maybe?)

I am wondering: how did you install that script?

OK... it was Debian fault... And mine because I didn't check that.
Apparently, they disabled QtScript some time ago because of a bug. They have just re-enabled it in 2.8.0-2 (actually in Sid). Changelog below.

So, the problem is resolved and I apologize because I didn't checked that :s
