Hi ,

I have a big Problem with the Amarok 2: it won't scan my collection. I'm using Arch Linux with KDE 4.2.1 - qt4.5 and installed Amarok from kdemod-extragear, if this is important for you.

When I try to scan, it stops at 74% without any error (I tried starting Amarok from command line). The ~/.kde4/share/apps/amarok/collection_scan.files is filled correctly with all files that should be scanned, but I don't have a collection in Amarok. As embedded mysql should be used, I did not configure anything at mysql. Is this ok or did I miss some configuration?

Any help would be great!

Same problem here:
- Arch Linux
- KDE 4.2.1 from KDEMod project
- Qt 4.5
- mySQL 5.0.77

This is an arch packaging problem:

short:
Downgrading to 2.0.1.1 solves this issue temporarily. There will be a new 2.0.2 build shortly I hope.

I had the same problem with kdemod-extragear-amarok 2.0.2 and downgrading to 2.0.1.1 solved it for me:
cd /var/cache/pacman/pkg
sudo pacman -U kdemod-extragear-amarok 2.0.1.1-4-i686.pkg.tar.gz (or an x86_64 version)
Of course, this only works if you had the old version previously.

This might or might not be the same, when you use the normal kde packages.

Thanks, next time I will take a closer look at the kdemod-board first
