kwlam Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 I am using mandriva LE 2005. My amaroK is 1.2. I have downloaded the amaroK 1.4 (total 4 rpm). However, I cannot upgrade it to amaroK. I did not do it in the console and I just click the icon. What is the problem? [moved from Installing Mandriva by spinynorman] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aioshin Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 dependency problem might be the cause.. try to post the errors you see in your console... this might give us clue.. . ok, the amarok you'd just downloaded from its website are intended for Mandriva 2006... so I just dont know if installing it is a good idea.. try to use easy urpmi and add the ff. repo source.. main, contrib, update, plf free, and non-free then try to update amarok from that repositories.. though its not 1.4, 1.3 might be, but at least it will not break your system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polemicz Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 If you're using 2005 there may be no update in the repositories for Amarok. The versions of packages don't change once a distro version is out. Consider using 2006 to get a newer Amarok or check MDE to see if they have a newer version.

rakavka Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Hi there... Decided to install RPMs for Mandriva(1.4.0a) . I have downloaded Amarok, libamarok, amarok-engine-xine, amarok-scripts files form http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Download. Now when I try to install amarok.rpm i get "cannot be installed due to unsatisfied libamarok" When I try to install libamarok I get the same error with amarok :) What's wrong? Thanks 2 Ian urpmi amarok give ver. 1.3 and I don't like sound quality there... :) Currently I try to install from .gz but dependency kills me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 You could try combining the line, so something like: rpm -Uvh amarok.rpm libamarok.rpm I've assumed filenames, so change where appropriate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rakavka Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 to Ian I managed to compile the source before saw your reply (It could save me a lot of time :) ) Anyway I will know about this option!! Still the quality of sound is like from tube... And another one... I don't completely understand the kmix options. When I change volume in amarok, in the kmix the PCM bar changes and when I move master volume in kmix nothing changes.I even can disable it... In analogy to windows is absurd. (My sound card is built in) Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Check if you're using alsa for sound, or something else. You can use Configure Your Desktop/Sound System and in an option here, change from Auto-Detect to ALSA and see if that works when you apply it. If not and it comes up with an error, your system might not be using ALSA. If it doesn't, and works OK, try running: su (enter root password when prompted) alsaconf and reconfigure your sound settings here for alsa, and then reboot, and check the volume levels in kmix again. By default they will be muted after running alsaconf, so you'll need to enable them again. And then see if volume sliders work, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rakavka Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 (edited) 2 Ian Did like you said. (In Sound System->Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (??) and in amarok engine-output plugin->alsa) Still same thing(quality of sound +kmix). # alsaconfbash: alsaconf: command not found Thanks Can it be that when I change amarok inner volume bar , none of mixer bars move??

ianw1974 Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Try this: [ian@europa ~]$ whereis alsaconf alsaconf: /usr/sbin/alsaconf /usr/share/man/man8/alsaconf.8.bz2 did you type "su" to get root privileges first before typing the command? That might cause the failure. Or: [ian@europa ~]$ rpm -qa | grep alsa alsa-utils-1.0.9-4mdk libalsa2-1.0.9-1mdk libalsa-data-1.0.9-1mdk alsaconf-1.0.9-4mdk libalsa2-devel-1.0.9-1mdk and see if you have alsaconf installed, if the whereis command doesn't work. Also, in sound system, try ticking the full duplex option if it's not already. Mine isn't ticked, but I don't use amarok much at work on my machine. It is ticked at home though. But then, all this could still be wrong :P but worth a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rakavka Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 2 Ian OK, I did install alsaconf and run it.. It said that it will change somthing in "amix" and that I will be able to use any mix I like .I rebooted. Anyway in kmix nothing is muted and nothing is changed :( Still the only way to control volume from kmix is by PCM bar and Headphone . Master & Master Mono - no reaction.

scarecrow Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 @ rakavka: If you have an Intel HDA based soundcard, then the ALSA version packed with Mandriva is useless. You need a newer version to make it work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rakavka Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 (edited) 2 scarecrow Acording to kmix SB: intel 82891DB-ICH4. Anyway when ALSA site will be UP I will update it. Thanks Edited August 4, 2006 by rakavka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rakavka Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 Shall I remove the old packages or install above? When I tried to remove libalsa2 it suggested to remove ~400 MB packages.. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
