It did for me as well! I It seems that the problem must be related to SqLite in some way.MySql is so much faster, so actually I'm quite happy that I had this problem which forced me to change :)

Not really. Amarok starts amarokapp and gives the following output: [tryfan@tryfan ~]$ amarok Amarok: [Loader] Starting amarokapp.. Amarok: [Loader] Don't run gdb, valgrind, etc. against this binary! Use amarokapp. kdecore (KAction): WARNING: KAction::insertKAccel( kaccel = 0x809cad8 ): KAccel object already contains an action name "play_pause" QLayout "unnamed" added to QVBox "unnamed", which already has a layout kdecore (KAction): WARNING: KAction::insertKAccel( kaccel = 0x809cad8 ): KAccel object already contains an action name "play_pause" QLayout: Adding KToolBar/mainToolBar (child of QVBox/unnamed) to layout for PlaylistWindow/PlaylistWindow QObject::connect: Incompatible sender/receiver arguments StarManager::ratingsColorsChanged() --> ContextBrowser::ratingOrScoreOrLabelsChanged(const QString&) QColor::setRgb: RGB parameter(s) out of range [tryfan@tryfan ~]$ I don't know how to get any output from amarokcollectionscan, except in collection_scan.files and collection_scan.log, and I've never seen any problems in those.

I have a big problem with two of my computers (one desktop and one laptop) since upgrading them to 2008.1 (Spring). The Amarok collection scan seems to run normally up to 12 - 25%. After that it hangs, and the cpu gets very hot. I then have to use ksysguard to shut the amarok processes down. My other two computers still run 2008.0, and they have no problem to scan the same collection (just over 30,000 songs on a NFS-mounted server). Also, if I reinstall 2008.0 on the two troublesome computers, they will also scan without problem. I don't know if the prooblem is related to Amarok, SQlite or something else, Haven't tried MySql, since I find it a bit challenging... As I see it, I have two ways out of this: 1) Find a fix for the Amarok problem. (The best, since both machines work beautifully otherwise). 2) Run 2008.0 on both. Not good, since there are a lot of driver issues. (Sound on both, and graphics on the laptop). Besides, 2008.1 is a LOT nicer. Ideas, anyone? /goran j

I have exactly same problem with 2008.1.

Video sounds like a good guess, but it might also be related to the network card, or USB. Try to with unplugging / exchanging things and see if it disappears.

You're probably right - I had no problems installing the same version (1.4.6) from source./goranj

After installing the latest update packages to 2007 Spring, I find that I no longer can start Amarok. This has so far happened on two different computers - I will wait with my third :-) I get this error message: amarokapp: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libamarok.so.0: undefined symbol: _ZN9KLineEdit17mouseReleaseEventEP11QMouseEvent Any ideas? /goranj

Sound really promising. It might mean that KDE 4.1 can be ready for the Spring edition.At the whole, it may be a milestone release - if everything works :-) Also a lot of standarization and usability stuff that seem interesting - like the printer utilities in the menu; a small thing, but really irritating.

Well, that's exactly the problem - if you *don't* have a built-in card (like me).I was depending on LinuxAnt up until Mdv 2007.0 (which supported all three cards I have). LinuxAnt was OK as a last resort, but I'm really glad to be rid of it.

Wow. Well, it's way out my league, then :o

As long as you don't touch win_c and win_d you should be safe. Then, I would try deleting win_e (if you're sure you don't need the data on that partition), and the linux partitions. You would then have a rather large continous part of disk that you can split any way you wan't, and with whatever filesystems you want. (I would suggest a larger partition for swap than you have now, though, at least one GB). But if I were you, I would wait for other opinions - there might be better solutions :P

Did you try with another mouse, and got the same problem?

I have the D-Link DWL-G122 adapter, and it works rather OK with Spring. That is, it installs without problems, and runs fine - as long as you're not too far from the router. If there is a ZD1211 chip in the Zyxel card (as scarecrow thinks), that one should install fine as well. I have a 3Com 3crusb10075 with a zd1211, and it's a really great adapter - the range is much better than the D-link (of course, that may not be just because of the chip).

What kind of action is it that you try to do, and what happens when you do it?

I'm afraid that's the way it's going :sad: Not very ;) I tend to keep some old stuff at hand, though. I haven't used my VCR in years, but I won't throw it away, either. Heck, I even got a brand new 5 1/4" floppy disk player somewhere :D
