Through the last several Fedora RPMs, I've had absolutely no luck with getting the left side tabs (Local Music, Internet, Playlists, Files, and Podcasts) to do anything for me. At one time, I put myself on distribution for a bug report on this but, alas, am not finding the bug report again in kde.bugs.org). Is this a FAQ and resolved long ago? Collection scan seems to complete correctly (but can't swear to this, since "Local Music" won't let me check.) Media plays fine (using Amarok _> Play Media). Last.fm submittals working fine.

Qt: 4.5.3
KDE: 4.3.4 (KDE 4.3.4)
Amarok: 2.2.2
Fedora 11 x86_64
Kernel: 2.6.30.10-105.2.4.fc11.x86_64

Did you try the breadcrumb navigation on top?
Anyway, you really should talk to your distribution, this is most likely a packaging problem, not much we can do about, sorry. I can't recall of any reports showing this behaviour.

Can you please try to elaborate? What does this mean, "don't do anything for me"?

What happens exactly when you click a certain element, and what do you expect it to do?

Ueberhaupt nichts <g>. Nothing. I'd expect "Local Music" to open the collection, "Internet" to open up a list of online sources for music, "Playlists" could be expected to open some dynamic playlists, "Files" to give me a tree structure of files on my local hard drive, and "Podcasts" to provide podcasts I might have subscribed to. However, clicking on them does absolutely nothing, no reaction, no error, etc. as if there is no action assigned to the buttons at all.

Are you referring to the small blue folder icon with the "greater than" arrow next to it? Clicking on the arrow pops up a small blank box beneath it.

Just found the bug report on this (in Red Hat Bugzilla). Seems it's a "theming bug" (qgtkstyle) with no resolution listed since October 09. Now to figure out how to work around that. I hate Banshee, and miss Amarok.

Well, you can actually start KDE applications with a different widget style (those that you have installed, some come with Qt), so you could try this:

Code: Select all

amarok --style Plastique

or:

Code: Select all

amarok --style Oxygen
