Hi,
I did also the upgrade to Kubuntu 9.04 and I have also that new Amarok 2.x version. This version is realy "BAD", it is not so good as the older version 1.4.10 version I did use at Kubuntu 8.10.
A lot of mine songs didn't work annymore and what did happend with the look of that new Amarok? It's like a programme from the year 90's.....
It was not able even after the distro update to read-in mine playlists I did had from the older BUT MUCH MORE STABLE version.
So, if there are people like me, who don't like that brand new Amarok & want having back there old one, well you can follow mine steps below. It's easy done and it just take a minute, and the new AMAROK is trashed and the stable version is back!
The version is new configured for the Kubuntu - Ubuntu 9.04.
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/bogdanb/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
How to install:
1. Remove first the new version, open Bash Konsole ==> sudo apt-get remove amarok
(this removes the version 2.x from your system)
2. Open Synaptic and go to Preferences => PacketSources
Add a new link to "SOFTWARE FROM THIRD PARTY'S)
URL = http://ppa.launchpad.net/bogdanb/ppa/ubuntu
DISTRIBUTOR = jaunty
COMPONENTS = main
SAVE and Fetch the packages again. You will see that there comes a new one on the list, this is the url that you did
type above. It will says that it has not a public key.....but don't worry about that. Just Ignore.
Now you will see 3 names standing from the AMAROK 4.1.x version. Select them both, and let synaptic installing them.
After installation, I did de-activate that latest url, and I have mine old Amarok back and everything works
The link I did found from someone who did the same and did post this link at the ubuntu forums....
Have a nice day....
