    Amarok failure

    I've tried everything I've found to make Amarok not freeze on startup.

    -I've upgraded to 1.4.7 (new error, same problem)
    -I've enabled MP3 manually (/usr/lib/amarok/installMP3)
    -I've installed xine, xine-extracodecs, and libxine1-ffmpeg
    -I've deleted .kde/share/apps/amarok/ and .kde/share/config/amarokrc

    Nothing works. It still starts up and the hangs with the following console output:

    Code:
    kain@IESF-NET:~$ amarokapp
kdecore (KAction): WARNING: KAction::insertKAccel( kaccel = 0x79c170 ): KAccel object already contains an action name "play_pause"
QLayout "unnamed" added to QVBox "unnamed", which already has a layout

    Re: Amarok failure

    Are you trying to launch Amarok from konsole?

    Amarok is working fine on my system but when I tried to launch it from konsole it gave following error

    Code:
    nikhil@Rex:~$ amarokapp
X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 169
 Major opcode: 145
 Minor opcode: 3
 Resource id: 0x0

STARTUP
    In the same way I also got error while launching kate form Konsole.

    But both apps started successfully.

      Yep. I only started it from Konsole to get the output. The final problem is the same either way.

        Re: Amarok failure

        Don't know why you are attempting to run Amarok from a console - the application is avaiable under K Menu | Multimedia | Amarok

        That said. If you are going to fire up Amarok from a console, the command is:
        Code:
        kdesu amarok
        There will be errors displayed:
        Amarok: [Loader] Starting amarokapp..
        Amarok: [Loader] Don't run gdb, valgrind, etc. against this binary! Use amarokapp.
        kbuildsycoca running...

        but Amorak will load. This isn't the preferred way to launch Amarok.

          Added:

          If you run from a console:
          Code:
          kdesu amarok %U
          you will get fewer errors:
          Amarok: [Loader] Starting amarokapp..
          Amarok: [Loader] Don't run gdb, valgrind, etc. against this binary! Use amarokapp.

          Again, Amarok will will start.

            Re: Amarok failure

            No, no, no. I'm not trying to start amarok from the console. I simply did that to catch any error messages. The same thing happens (ie, the program starts, GUI pops up, but is frozen) either way (from menu, or from konsole w/ and w/o kdesu).

              Okay. Didn't catch that earlier. Guess I need to put on my other glasses! :P

              Did you ever have Amarok working properly? In a console, type:
              Code:
              top
              Is any occurrence of amarok showing in the running process list?

                Negative.

                [edit]
                I might also note that Xine does more or less the same thing (hang without functionality)

                  To both questions? You never had Amarok working? No occurrences of Amarok are running?

                    Re: Amarok failure

                    i would try what you did already. (deleting the rc file & .amarok dir). then i would completely uninstall amarok. (a Complete Removal with synaptic is what i mean, its easy to do with synaptic too). then i would try reinstalling it.

                      I have (to date of installing Feisty) never got Amarok functional. It comes with 1.4.5. That did the same thing (GUI comes up, then hangs).

                        This is the output of the apt:/amarok search:
                        Depends

                        If the depends packages are installed then Amarok should be fully functional - mine is - and the results of the apt:/amarok are from my system.

                          I'm not entirely sure what apt:/amarok does, however, I assume that reinstalling from synaptic should meet all the dependencies required.

                            Re: Amarok failure

                            Which version of Amarok are you using?

                            Code:
                            QObject::connect: Incompatible sender/receiver arguments
                            would seem to indicate different versions of something. I'd suggest checking for updated packages (in Adept: Fetch Updates, Preview Changes (to make sure nothing gets messed up), and then Full Upgrade).
                            For external use only.

                              Try this from the command line:

                              sudo apt-get remove --purge amarok

                              Then:

                              sudo apt-get install amarok

                              The --purge will remove all the configuration files etc.
