Hi all!

Amarok had always been the player of my choice when I was using Ubuntu edgy. However, since I upgraded to feisty fawn, Amarok just doesn't seem to work. I install Amarok and if I try to play a song in Amarok, it just hangs at the building playlist command and doesn't do anything after it. Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated!

Thanks

This could be a Kubuntu package specific issue. Could you please report the problem at launchpad, or talk to the kubuntu devs on irc?


You could however try to remove your old Amarok config:

rm -rf ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok
rm ~/.kde/share/config/amarokrc

Might help.

i had the same problem and it helped me to remove the collection.db in .kde/share/apps/amarok

I deleted all the three files that I was advised to, and now when I try to play a file in Amarok it tells me that there is no mp3 support for Amarok and then hangs.
I will also file a bug at Launchpad,

Yeah well, you will have to obtain a xinelib with mp3 support. That's normal.

Check our wiki for instructions.

Thanks a lot!
Everything works as it should. My hearties thanks to you, your replies were quicker than expected, today being a Sunday!
