Hello
I\'ve trayed to install amarok_1.4.SVN_i386.deb, and the first time I had some of dependencies errors. But I\'ve installed some libraries, and now I only have two errors, but I can\'t install the libraries because there are conflicts with others.
[code:1]
amarok depends on kdelibs4 (>= 4:3.3.2-6.1); however:
the kdelibs4 package isn\'t installed.
amarok depends on libqt3c102-mt (>= 3:3.3.4); however:
the libqt3c102-mt package isn\'t installed.
[/code:1]
(it\'s translated, and my English isn\'t very good)
I\'ve trayed to install kdelibs4_3.3.2-6.4_i386.deb and I get this:
[code:1]
pochu@jupiter:~/Desktop$ sudo dpkg -i kdelibs4_3.3.2-6.4_i386.deb
dpkg: about kdelibs4_3.3.2-6.4_i386.deb which contains kdelibs4:

And when installing libqt3c102-mt_3.3.4-3_i386.deb
[code:1]
pochu@jupiter:~/Desktop$ sudo dpkg -i libqt3c102-mt_3.3.4-3_i386.deb

I don\'t know which distro you use, but if it\'s debian sid I think you will have to compile it youself. The package on the debian page is for debian sarge, that could be why the dependencies give you problems.

I\'m using debian sid and I compiled the svn by using the svn script.

http://amarok.kde.org/amarokwiki/index.php/AmaroK-svn That works like a charm and isn\'t that hard to use.

Aye, I miss the home tab too..
And as someone also points out on this page, the lyrics tab has now become a hit-and-miss experience. The old one just worked, and did not require me to install an entire scripting language just to get one feature in one application... i wonder if my mom would have been able to ever see some lyrics? ;-)

Other then that? Nine-out-of-ten thumbs up! :-)

I also miss the home tab - it was a one-click-instant-info thing :| (never had the feeling that the UI was overloaded).

> The old one just worked, and did not require me to install an entire scripting language just to get one feature in one application...

Nevertheless, I think that it was a good trade - this is in fact the most flexible approach to lyrics I have seen so far (when compared to several old Winamp plugins).

Hi!

Thanks a lot. You were right! I\'m using Ubuntu 5.10 (stable). So I have tried to compile amarok, and after solve some problems with the dependencies I have compiled and done "make" and makefile has saccessful been created. So I have done:
make install
but I have got an error message after a lot of text:
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [amarokapp] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/emilio/Programas/amarok-1.4-beta1/amarok/src\'
make[2]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/emilio/Programas/amarok-1.4-beta1/amarok/src\'
make[1]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/emilio/Programas/amarok-1.4-beta1/amarok\'
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1



And if I write in console:
amarok
I get this message:
amaroK could not be started!
This may be because the amarok app binary in not in your PATH.
Try locating and running amarokapp from a terminal.


I have searched amarokapp, and I have found a folder, but I haven\'t find any executable. So I don\'t know what to do.
If you know how to solve this...

Thank you

In the folder amarok-1.4beta1/amarok/src there are some files app:
app.cpp
app.h
app.lo
app.moc

so I have create a link in /usr/bin to app.cpp:
sudo ln -s ~/Programas/amarok-1.4beta1/amarok/src/app.cpp amarokapp
And if I write in console:
amarokapp
I get:

/usr/bin/amarokapp: line 1: /bin: is a directory
/usr/bin/amarokapp: line 2: app.cpp: command not found
/usr/bin/amarokapp: line 3: -------------------: command not found
/usr/bin/amarokapp: line 4: begin: command not found
/usr/bin/amarokapp: line 5: syntax error near unexpected token `(\'
/usr/bin/amarokapp: line 5: `copyright : (C) 2002 by Mark Kretschmann

and I\'ve done the same with app.h, getting the same:

/usr/bin/amarokapp: line 1: /bin: is a directory
/usr/bin/amarokapp: line 2: app.h: command not found
/usr/bin/amarokapp: line 3: -------------------: command not found
/usr/bin/amarokapp: line 4: begin: command not found
/usr/bin/amarokapp: line 5: syntax error near unexpected token `(\'
/usr/bin/amarokapp: line 5: ` copyright : (C) 2002 by Mark Kretschmann\'


What can I do?

Thank you

actually you should have started a new thread for this... ;)

download kdesvn-build from here http://kdesvn-build.kde.org/ and follow the described steps from

http://amarok.kde.org/amarokwiki/index. ... esvn-build

that worked for me, because amarok 1.4b1 couldn\'t compile from source.

Here my first impressions of the amaroK 1.4:
System SuSE 9.3 x86_64

1.- Version 1.3.8 Airborne, x86_64 rpm package from Guru
iPod recognition without Problem
Gstreamer, aRts and xine work fine.
In general the best mp3 player

2.-Version 1.4 beta 1 x86_64 rpm package from Guru.
Very stable, quick and a very good sound (xine1.1.1.),.....but:
iPod is not more connectable, under the same conditions of the system where the old Version 1.3.8 no problems had.

+Why?
+Are there special systems requirements?

In this Forum is a special HOW-TO amaroK1.4 iPod SUSE10.0.
+It is really all these additional work necessary?, considering that for the Version amaroK 1.3.8 no changes in the fdi Files for HAL connection was required.
+I saw in some Wiki that libgpod has some problems with x86_64 systems
+I have only the version 0.2 from libgpod it is necesary to jump to the version 0.3?
+will be the libgpod included in the final version?
+Will be all these issues improved in the final Version?

I will test the x86 Version of the amaroK 1.4 beta 1 (from Guru) to complete my final impression
Best regards

have you tried the latest xmms coverviewer release? it\'s maybe not that flexible, but anyway it seems more usable and more fruitful for lyrics currently..

Does anyone know how to get around the huge config window bug? I\'ve had it occur before, but it usually fixed with restart. No such luck this time.

Besides that, I think I preferred the old way of showing what song is playing in the playlist bar. The 3d shiny thing is kindof silly looking to me. Also, the less cluttered tab bar in the context thingy is MUCH nicer to me, count me among those who do not miss the \"home\" tab thingy.

it does look nice, yes .. but I doubt I will ever use it. That \'xmms\' thing is in the way :)

If no home tab, then perhaps a statistics tab. What exactly is the point of a seperate statistics pop up window? I don\'t know about everybody else, but I don\'t want yet another seperate window to move around, (which is one of the reasons I\'m using amarok instead of bmpx). For people that don\'t use the tab, perhaps they should have an option to hide the tab.

So great, I can select stuff from my collection added in the last day. But what about the last 2 days? This should definately be user customizeable.

Oh, and please drop the **** fonts when draging an album to the playlist. The album cover is enough.

Other then that, I guess its OK. But I\'m going back to 1.3.8.

- lyrics : amarok now asks to install a script to enable this feature, the only one I\'ve found in the scripts list is for lyriki and no one to get back to lyrc.com.ar. I found the later more complete and woud like to use it again (i\'ve added quite a lot of new lyrics on it, don\'t want to do it twice)

Uhm. Two scripts come bundled with amaroK 1.4: "Lyrics: Lyrc", and "Lyrics: Astraweb".


not true

i\'ve downloaded svn version and mandriva rpm, and theres no plugins bundled, the lyrc plugin is not on the plugins list for download, so i had to use lyriki (very poor)

where can i download lyrc plugin for amarok?
