Amarok won't start

[lingenfr]

When my system boots, I have a blank spot in the taskbar. When I mouse over it, I get the spinning deal as if it is loading. It never loads. I kill amarokapp. Then I run amarokapp or amarok and it starts. When I run it from a terminal I get:

lingenfr@U100-UBUNTU:~$ amarokapp
kdecore (KAction): WARNING: KAction::insertKAccel( kaccel = 0x82d1c60 ): 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 = 0x82d1c60 ): KAccel object already contains an action name "play_pause"

PCM.A2DPD[19:05:43.378]: _snd_pcm_a2dpd_open: AlsaVersion=1.0.13, Opened for Playback
STARTUP


Don't know if any of that is helpful. If anyone has a solution, please post. I tried the puge and reinstall, but no joy.

Try running these commands and then start amarok.

rm -rf ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok/
rm -rf ~/.kde/share/config/amarokrc

I tried it. It actually is worse now. Thanks for the attempt.

Re: Amarok won't start

You've nothing to loose, so, open a console shell and type:

killall amarokapp

This will ensure that all elements of amarok that are/may still be running are stopped.
