I upgraded to Kubuntu 13.04. Now Amarok 2.7.0 keeps crashing, usually at the end of the first song in the playlist, regardless of what song it may be. How can I fix this?

Please upgrade to Amarok 2.8, and get rid of your old configuration files in $HOME/.kde/share/config/. See also http://www.kubuntu.org/news/amarok-2.8

Should I do this from repository or should I manually download the package?

Enable the Kubuntu Backports repository as described here:

http://www.kubuntu.org/news/amarok-2.8

I added the backport repository, then I updated and it turned out some dependencies were missing:

"E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution)."

So after running that I ran an apt-get -f install but it ends with the following:

"Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/ba ... 1_i386.deb Hash Sum mismatch
E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?"

Further "apt-get update" does not resolve the problem.

It would be a good idea to also add the updates repository by running this:

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/ppa

Then try to run this:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade

Thanks. Problem solved.
