The toolbar at the bottom of the playlist is missing from my build of amarok. This is the toolbar with the add media, clear media, save playlist, shuffle, goto, undo and redo buttons.

I am using qt 3.3.3, I have tried gcc 3.3.4 and gcc 3.4.3, I am running Gentoo Linux, and this problem is repeated for versions of amarok 1.1.1, 1.2 beta1 and beta 2, and the newest amarok-cvs. I am using the gstreamer engine with alsasink. I am also running kde 3.3.1. I used portaged to compile amarok 1.1.1 and the cvs version of amarok; I compiled 1.2 beta 1 and beta 2 by hand.

I am not sure if this applies but the cflags I am using to compile the program are:
\"-O2 -march=athlon-mp -fomit-frame-pointer\"

This problem is only on my desktop, and it is not repeated on my laptop which is also runs Gentoo.

I would greatly appreciate any help! I love amarok, and it is a must have application. Thank You!

No ideas? Anyone?

Joe

Try from the menu bar (if you cannot see it, activate it with CTRL-M):
Settings->Show Toolbar.

I wish I could show you a screen shot, but the toolbar I am talking about is the one at the bottom of the playlist. With the add media, clear media, save playlist, shuffle, goto, undo and redo buttons. Its just quick buttons to use. I can go to the playlist button and clear the songs on my playlist, I just really miss those buttons on the bottom of the playlist, and I can\'t figure out why they aren\'t showing. The rest of amarok seems to be operating normally.

Thanks for your help.

Joe

We know what your talking about, Settings->Show Toolbar is how you can unhide it. You might of removed all the icons from it or something, check out Settings->Configure Toolbar in that case.

When I go to Settings->Configure Toolbar I don\'t have any options. It sounds like we are coming closer to the problem. Is there something that I am missing? Or how to I add available actions to my toolbar? I can only Hide and unhide the drop menu\'s at the top of the program.

Thank You,

Joe

sounds like some prefix problem to me. where did you install amarok to?

Amarok bin is found in /usr/kde/bin/amarok. I used
./configure --prefix=`kde-config --prefix` as per readme.

The particular version of amarok that I am using now is 1.2 beta 2. However, as I mentioned earlier the problem replicates itself in version 1.1 and up. Is there a different way that I should install the package? Thank you for all your help everyone!

I know this is an old post, but just in case someone else is having the quarky problem, I found a way to get that handy toolbar back. All I did was switch to the all in one player and then back to the xmms style player in the amarok setup menu. Don\'t know what could have caused the problem but, at least that fixed it!

this doesn\'t work for me, but copying amarokui_first.rc to ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok solves this problem for me. watch the output when starting from a terminal. there\'s the hint of the missing amarokui_first.rc

There should be a fix for this in CVS now so others don\'t suffer! Thanks
