dude67 Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Just today I was faced with this problem: I cannot start Amarok. Whenever I try to start it, it hangs with the flash graphics: Amarok - rediscover your music. I cannot start it from K-menu nor from terminal. This is the info in terminal: [dude67@localhost ~]$ amarok -v Qt: 4.6.2 KDE Development Platform: 4.4.3 (KDE 4.4.3) Amarok: 2.3.1 [dude67@localhost ~]$ amarok -d Calling appendChild() on a null node does nothing. Connecting to deprecated signal QDBusConnectionInterface::serviceOwnerChanged(QString,QString,QString) amarok(26812)/kdecore (KConfigSkeleton) KCoreConfigSkeleton::writeConfig: amarok(26812)/kdecore (KConfigSkeleton) KCoreConfigSkeleton::writeConfig: amarok(26812)/kdecore (KConfigSkeleton) KCoreConfigSkeleton::writeConfig: QGraphicsLinearLayout::removeAt: invalid index 1 amarok(26812)/kdecore (KConfigSkeleton) KCoreConfigSkeleton::writeConfig: <unknown program name>(26811)/: Communication problem with "amarok" , it probably crashed. Error message was: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken."

Greg2 Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 Have you recently upgraded to Mandriva 2010.1? Try removing all the amarok stuff in ~/.kde4 then try starting amarok again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude67 Posted July 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 Excellent; thanks Greg! There was this: ~/.kde4/share/apps/amarok/ I renamed it and amarok started without a problem! I knew I could trust you guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg2 Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 You have the proper rpms installed, so you could try deleting your playlist located at: /home/rr/.kde4/share/apps/amarok/current.xspf Then open amarok and try creating a new list. If that doesn't work... I guess you will have to add them slowly. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonseth17 Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 Then open amarok and try creating a new list. If that doesn't work... I guess you will have to add them slowly. :) well I think that's what I'll have to do because I already did that :mellow:, but thx anyway, if I just add those 1 time and save the play list I won't have to do it several times I think :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
