Topic says it all. I've done a fresh install of an amarok 2.1 svn and found last.fm missing from the internet services panel (love button as well).
Is this normal at the moment or am i missing something?

No, that's not normal. But did you enable and configure the Last.fm service? Otherwise it won't show up.

You can configure Amarok's plugins in the "Configure Amarok" dialog, then "Internet Services".

Of course I did, it's the first thing I do when I install amarok... test login succeeds, retrieve similar artists and submit songs is enabled.. really weird.

I should mention that the "test login" feature is currently broken. I think it always returns "Success", no matter what you type there.

So please double-check that you got your login information right. If your username or password contain weird characters, there might be another bug (I've heard about it before), that renders your login invalid. If that is the case, please check our bug list for existing bugs, and create a new one if there isn't already one:

please pastebin (or post here) the full output of running amarok -d from the commandline, thanks

checked everything... username and password are fine (checked the unencrypted config file).
here's the amarok -d output: http://pastebin.com/m3f0b6f89

any news on this? build from 5 minutes ago doesn't solve the problem (deleted all related amarok files beforehand).
should i report a bug after all?

We already have a bug report:
