Hy all.I use Amarok under gnome desktop and I really like it.Starting from yesterday I have a problem with the lyric script.The default script gives me this error :

Code: Select all

If I try to install wiki-lyrics, when I run it I get:

Code: Select all

Sorry...
You need one of QtRuby, RubyGTK or TkRuby to run this program

.

Can someone help me please?

sure - install QtRuby, RubyGTK or TkRuby. At least one of these, if not all, should be in your distro package repositories.

I can't find any of these packages in my package manager.I use Ubuntu Gnome by the way.Can someone tell me where can I find them pls?

try this for gtk+ruby:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install gtk2-ruby

or install gtk2-ruby using Synaptic

I couldn't find the package gtk2-ruby from the terminal.I installed from synaptic libgtk2-ruby1.8 but I get the same error with wiky-lyrics Do you have any idea why the default lyric script doesn't work anymore?

Well I guess the server has problems, or is offline altogether.

I found the answer here installing libqt0-ruby1.8.

I already have libqt0-ruby1.8 installed...I don't know what the problem is with the default lyric script.It worked normally and then it broke for no reason at all, giving me the error I posted before.I use Listen Music Player now, and the lyrics fork fine.I like Amarok better though, and I would wish to make it work..

Again, the timeout you see in the error log indicates that the "lyrc" server might have issues. Try a different lyrics script.

Mine is working with Wiki-Lyrics script.

I tried Googlyrics and I get this error :

I have  Terra Letras and it can't find any lyrics (and I tried some popular songs) and Jamendo has the same problem.I don't know another lyric script for amarok.Give me some ideas 
Thank for your answers till now.
