Hi,

I only saw in your downloads page the package for "Kubuntu". Someone knows how can I install Amarok on Ubuntu (with Gnome)?

Thank you all for all your help. :)

Regards.

I'm not ubuntu user, but I think if you select only amarok, your distro package manager will wisely chose all packages dependancies.

Yep you can. Kubuntu users can use Ubuntu packages and Ubuntu users can use Kubuntu packages. The difference between Kubuntu and Ubuntu is only what software is installed by default.

When you install Amarok, it will also pull in whatever software other it needs to run (this is also true of any other KDE application you want to install in a GNOME environment, at least in Ubuntu).  I personally had a problem running Amarok at first, after several minutes the application would crash and I would have a message complaining about being unable to find an application called kmail.  So I went to the command line and installed kmail and haven't had any problems since then.
