I am running Amarok 2.8 on Kubuntu 16.04, and all worked fine for a few days until yesterday, and now, when I open Amarok, I receive the error message:
I have followed the following steps:
Following are the repeated errors from the ouput of the command
I am not attempting to use an external database. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you! |

Please make sure you have the MySQL packages installed correctly, I suppose there is a package missing somewhere. In particular you need to make sure to have a libmysqlclient package installed. Since you are not the first to complain about Amarok 2.8.0 not working correctly on Kubuntu 16.04, I suggest you file a bug on launchpad about this, there is probably a packaging problem.

Hello,
I have the same problem with the actual KDE Neon. Maybe the actual 2.9 Beta would better work? Best regards, Stefan |

I doubt so, if they made a packaging error at the distribution error. Please make sure you have all MySQL dependencies installed correctly.

What packages I should have installed? And are there some global MySQL settings? Yesterday I've tried Amarok and today Akonadi is not working anymore.

Please read my previous answer about it on this thread. This is definitely NOT an Amarok problem, but a distribution made one.

libmysqlclient is installed. Here is the current status of all MySQL-packages:

You apparently have neither mysql-client nor mysql-server installed. See the Amarok README file for mandatory dependencies.
Again, this is a distribution problem, please take this to your distribution, we can't do anything on our side as we are not responsible for packaging.

Yes you are correct. No MySQL is installed. But instead MariaDB is installed, so in general it should work. Or has Amarok problems with MariaDB?

No, there shouldn't be a problem with MariaDB, but again: please talk to your distribution about this, it is NOT a problem made by us, we do not do the packaging.

So, now I removed the folder .kde/share/apps/amarok/mysqle and Amarok is working again. So there is now generally problem with MySQL and Amarok, but with my old database of Kubuntu 14.04.
