Just installed K3B in Sabayon and it works as well there as it does in Kubuntu.

I have to get all these things working right in Kubuntu. I'm just wondering how hard it's going to be? Whew....

I'm using what I think is Kubuntu 9.10 and my KDE is 4.3.2

Open a Konsole window: Alt+F2 -> konsole

Enter the commands below:

uname -a
lsb_release -a
kde-config -v
kde4-config -v

Post your results here.

yes the device notafier open with amarok dosent work........it dosent call for a opening action amarok recognises.

That makes for a pretty stupid notifier then. It offers you options but doesn't do any of them. :P What were the devs thinking of when this was built?

In System Settings > Advanced > Device Actions > Play Audio CD with Amarok this is the Command:

amarok --cdplay %u

Opening Dolphin and navigating to my music CD and clicking on a track does launch Amarok but, the track isn't selected by Amarok and so does not play. Only launching Amarok after a music CD has been loaded results it it (the CD) being seen and loaded in Amarok. Hmm.
