Hi,

is there a way to always get the newest version of Amarok in Lucid Ubuntu (not Kubuntu)? Or, at least, how do I install the newest Version manually?

Just get the Amarok packages from the Ubuntu repositories, it should install the necessary dependencies automatically.


Running Kubuntu 22.10 with Plasma 5.26.3, Frameworks 5.100.0, Qt 5.15.6, kernel 5.19.0-23 on Ryzen 5 4600H, AMD Renoir, X11
FWIW: it's always useful to state the exact Plasma version (+ distribution) when asking questions, makes it easier to help ...

Read again, it says 2:2.3.0, which is the 2.3.0 version. The Amarok 2.3.1 beta version is available in the beta PPAs, see also here: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/amarok-koff ... elop-betas.

Oh, thanks a lot, stupid me, read that wrong. :<

But now I have the next problem. Amarok is up and running great but won't play mp3's.

I installed the xine backend with:

sudo aptitude install phonon-backend-xine

but it still skips mp3's :((

If you could help me with this too I'd really appreciate it.
