Should be simple really, well documented all over the place really. But go figure, I'm still stuck.

I followed this for example:

http://how-to.linuxcareer.com/using-mys ... -on-amarok

and I have a database and can connect to it:

Code: Select all

bernd@bigfoot ~ $ mysql -u amarok -p
Enter password:

and I've configured Amarok:

https://flic.kr/p/BZs4Ux

And restarted Amarok and yet there are no tables.

What gives? What am I missing?

As an experiment I when to the the Configure - Amarok window and the Local Collection page. I clicked Full Rescan but could see no results.

So instead I unchecked my audio folder, and quite Amarok and restarted. Then I went back and checked it and applied and rescan was apparent by virtue of "Scanning Music" displayed under the Media Sources pane. I let it run to completion. still I see no tables in my database.

I restarted Amarok and still none.
