Hi all!

I was quite happy to discover amarok, while looking for a nice linux player with a playlist capable of dealing with large music libraries (some 100GB).
unfortunately it sometimes doesn't start, sometimes it does, but takes quite a while and produces a few (always the same) error messages in the bash:

---------------------------------------

---------------------------------------

Maybe some of you know how to solve these issues, as i didn't find solutions on the net.

[On my old AMD XP 1800 with Nvidia gforce 4 mx, i run Ubuntu 6.04 with the latest Gnome Desktop.]

Thank you very much in advance

greetings, kooling
