I installed Amarok 2.6 on windows 7 but Amarok does not start.

Here is what DebugView shows:

[2504] Warning:QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave.
[2504] Critical:unnamed app(2504): KUniqueApplication: Cannot find the D-Bus session server: "Failed to get autolaunch address from launched dbus-daemon"
[2504]

What should I do?
Thank you

Any solution on this please? I would like to try this player...

Hi
this could be an issue with your firewall, dbus is needed for the communication between the KDE processes and uses a local network connection to achieve that.
A local network connection is completely harmless but some firewalls are a bit to strict and block such connections.

Could you please tell me which firewall you use, and if you know how could you try to disable the firewall for a test and try to start amarok again?

Thank you, I use windows 7 default private and public firewall and my routers firewall (Huawei). I disable them an try again.

I disabled all firewalls, tried to start again Amarok, but with the same result and the same debug message...
Any other idea?
Thank you!

Also when I click on Appearance or Language settings I have this message

Are they related problems?

I found the answer: I was using a custom host file to block ads. Once I restored it works!

ouch that's a strange behavior but great that you solved it this might help the next guy with this problem.

THX!!!!

Thank you for helping me TheOneRing, your reply made me think that it could be the host file!
