[Solved] Amarok main window is empty

Fri Mar 13, 2009 12:42 pm
Hi,
I've installed Amarok 2 with Kubuntu (kde4.2). Everything was ok, it searched my music library, no problem,  but the main windows is empty. I used Amarok before and I don't understand what happens.
Anybody has any idea ?
Thank you and have a nice day.

First make a backup of the following files, and then delete them:

$HOME/.kde/share/apps/amarok/*
$HOME/.kde/share/config/amarok*

Hi Mark,

Thank you for your answer.
So I found  $HOME/.kde/share/apps/amarok/* (this is a folder) and renamed it in amarok.old but I haven't found $HOME/.kde/share/config/amarok* (folder or files). There is amarok-appletsrc, amarok-homerc, amarokrc (which are files).
When I restart Amarok, it scans my music folder but the window still empty...

What you think about this ?

Just do this:

rm -rf $HOME/.kde/share/config/amarok*

It's going to delete all those files that you mentioned above.

Hi Mark,

Thank you very much, it's working now.
I was desperate, thinking I'll never use Amarok anymore... Songbird is very interesting too but I'm very glad to have Amarok back !

Have a very good week-end.
