hi,

when i try to start amarok (2.0.2) on my fedora 10, i386 machine,
the splashscreen shows up, stays there forever and amarok never
starts.

this is, what "amarok --debug" gives:

Code: Select all

<unknown program name>(4597)/: Communication problem with  "amarok" , it probably crashed.
Error message was:  "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken." "


any ideas?

thanks,

katharina

I had a similar problem. It turned out my ~/.kde directory was owned by root.
This command
$ sudo chown -R me:me ~/,kde
fixed the problem.

It can also be a symptom of other issues - could be a dialogue window stuck behind the splash screen too. Try editing your ~/.kde/share/config/amarokrc to disable the splash and re-launch amarok. This may give you a better idea of what's causing the freeze.

Hi, thanks for this information, i have had this bug for a long time now (quite annoying).

best regards from a swiss amarok fan

Another good idea would be to update your Amarok, version 2.1.1 is out since quite some time now.
