Hi there

I was playing around with a fresh Amarok 2 installation (as I just installed the RC Ubuntu 9.04) and installed a plugin that would allow Amarok to communicate with Pidgin. This, however, immediately made Amarok 2 crash and right now it crashes upon execution.

Now I figure there's a config file somewhere where I can turn off the Pidgin plugin, so that Amarok 2 boots again. But where?

Here's a bug report about this issue:

PS: The file you want to edit is "amarokrc".

Thanks for the response. I solved things by just deleting the .kde/share/apps/amarok folder, but your suggestion sounds better in case it happens again

I removed amarok with package manager and issued a search on file names with "amarok", resulting in:

/usr/share/app-install/desktop/kde4_amarok.desktop
/usr/share/app-install/icons/amarok.xpm
/var/cache/apt/archives/amarok-common_2%3a2.0.2mysql5.1.30-0ubuntu3_all.deb
/var/cache/apt/archives/amarok_2%3a2.0.2mysql5.1.30-0ubuntu3_i386.deb
/var/lib/dpkg/info/amarok.list
/var/lib/dpkg/info/amarok.postrm

After reinstalling amarok, it still crashes upon launch.
Any suggestions?

The amarokrc file is located in your home folder and no need to remove amarok or to look for entries in the system folder, you can do this as a normal user. Just exit Amarok if it is playing and type in the following command on the command line:

rm ~/.kde/share/config/amarokrc

You can actually copy&paste the command to make it easier.
