Hi (sorry for my bad english !)

after new installation of amarok 2.2, it don't want start :

Code: Select all

jaja@quadcore:~$ amarok
^C
jaja@quadcore:~$

with kdesudo (for test only), it start correctly.

If, I try the command of this thread, I can read that :

Code: Select all

jaja@quadcore:~$ gdb amarok --args nofork

(gdb) run --nofork

(gdb) quit
jaja@quadcore:~$

I verify user groupes, move config files, try to start with "--debug" or "-v" extension : same problem =>

Code: Select all

jaja@quadcore:~$ amarok -v
^C
jaja@quadcore:~$


I can find nothing in my log.

I make bugreport here.

Your command is wrong, it's

Code: Select all

gdb --args amarok --nofork

and once gdb is started you just type 'run'

If it doesn't start, maybe it is already running? Try

Code: Select all

killall amarok

and start Amarok again. Don't forget to start it with

Code: Select all

amarok -d --nofork

to get a backtrace.

Also, we have a French forum at viewforum.php?f=118 if you prefer to ask in French

ok :

that's all

Code: Select all

jaja@quadcore:~$ killall amarok
amarok: no process found
jaja@quadcore:~$ amarok -d --nofork


always nothing...

I suggest that you reinstall Amarok, then, since you probably have missing elements.
Make sure you install all of the following:
amarok
amarok-common
amarok-utils
amarok-dbg

The command for a forced reinstallation would then be the following:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install --reinstall amarok amarok-common amarok-dbg amarok-utils

same problem :

Code: Select all

jaja@quadcore:~$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall amarok amarok-common amarok-dbg amarok-utils

Please remove the configuration files for Amarok, located in $HOME/.kde/share/config/. There is amarokrc, amarok-appletsrc and amarok-homerc in my case, usually a

Code: Select all

rm $home/.kde/share/config/amarok*

should be enough.
Please also move the database folder, this can be done with

Code: Select all

mv $HOME/.kde/share/apps/amarok/ amarok_backup/

Then try starting amarok again, on the command line please use

Code: Select all

amarok -d --nofork

Code: Select all

jaja@quadcore:~$ rm /home/jaja/.kde/share/config/amarok*
jaja@quadcore:~$ mv $HOME/.kde/share/apps/amarok/ amarok_backup/
jaja@quadcore:~$ amarok -d --nofork


I will wait 2.2.1...

Sorry, there is something completely borked in your system. Try removing all amarok packages, then reinstall them again.

Also, as I can see in your signature, you seem to be using Jaunty, where there is no Amarok 2.2. available, might be related to it... are you sure you are not on Karmic?

yes, I use kubuntu karmic. my signature isn't update. I update it now.

Solved !!!

I resintall some "taglib" !

nice ! very good !! I'm very happy !!!
