Anything wrong with the latest amarok package?

Barghest · 2011-06-27 14:46:42

Hi,

after the latest update amarok refuses to start. This is what the error message says:

$ cd /pfad/zu/Amarok/Quellcode/
$ su -c "make uninstall"
$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` && su -c "make install"
$ kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental
$ amarok

Is there something wrong the the package itself?

That's not an error message. Are you trying to compile it yourself?

Looks like an error message to me:

It comes up when I try to start amarok.

I like how you selectively quoted the error message.

Didn't want to bore you with the German gibberish and was convinced from the might of your crystal ball ;b

Sorry for that!

The german gibberish is the actual error message. What you quoted seems to be a possible solution (ie. how to correctly build and install amarok).

Barghest · 2011-06-27 15:06:30

But then it should be corrected in the original build, too?

oboedad55 · 2011-06-27 15:47:47

I've got it too.

Amarok could not find any collection plugins. It is possible that Amarok is installed under the wrong prefix, please fix your installation using:
$ cd /path/to/amarok/source-code/
$ su -c "make uninstall"
$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` && su -c "make install"
$ kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental
$ amarok

Same issue here.

The abs only gives me the older version (2.4.1-1) even after updating. Don't know what was changed between 2.4.1-1 and 2.4.1-2 but when I have the latest version I try to rebuild it with the recommended changes.

Wasn't aware of this. Thanks karol.

Barghest · 2011-06-27 16:54:00

Ok,

with this PKGBUILD:

pkgname=amarok
replaces=('amarok-base' 'amarok-engine-xine' 'amarok-base-mysqlfree')
pkgver=2.4.1
pkgrel=2
pkgdesc="The powerful music player for KDE"
arch=("i686" "x86_64")
url="http://amarok.kde.org"
license=('GPL2' 'LGPL2.1' 'FDL')
depends=('kdebase-runtime' 'mysql' 'qtscriptgenerator' 'taglib-extras'
        'liblastfm' 'ffmpeg' 'libofa' 'qjson')
makedepends=('pkgconfig' 'automoc4' 'cmake' 'libgpod' 'libmtp' 'loudmouth'
             'libmygpo-qt')
optdepends=("libgpod: support for Apple iPod audio devices"
            "libmtp: support for portable media devices"
            "loudmouth: backend needed by mp3tunes for syncing"
            "ifuse: support for Apple iPod Touch and iPhone"
            "libmygpo-qt: gpodder.net Internet Service")
install="${pkgname}.install"
source=("http://download.kde.org/stable/${pkgname}/${pkgver}/src/${pkgname}-${pkgver}.tar.bz2")
md5sums=('4c65c5cd4d7bd267bdbef8e912fd6cb6')

build() {
  cd ${srcdir}
  mkdir build
  cd build
  cmake ../${pkgname}-${pkgver} \
    -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
    -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr\
    -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix`
  make
}

package(){
  cd ${srcdir}/build
  make DESTDIR=${pkgdir} install
}

and this amarok.install

post_install() {
    xdg-icon-resource forceupdate --theme hicolor &> /dev/null
    kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental
}

post_upgrade() {
    post_install
}

post_remove() {
    post_install
}

I was able to build a working package.

Maybe I should have tried it without a new amarok.install but I just made everything that was suggested in the error message

for me still unfixed, created a testuser, I could start amarok with it, then I saw, it uses phonon-vlc instead of phonon-xine. Actually the whole phonon-xine is broken, as I go to systemsettings, and systemsettings crashes, after setting from phonon-vlc to phonon-xine systesettings crashes on clicking phonon with my testuser too Package dowgrade evenm doesn't help:

$ amarok
KGlobal::locale::Warning your global KLocale is being recreated with a valid main component instead of a fake component, this usually means you tried to call i18n related functions before your main component was created. You should not do that since it most likely will not work
amarok: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/xine/plugins/1.29/xineplug_inp_cdda.so: undefined symbol: xine_get_homedir
unnamed app(7315): Communication problem with "amarok" , it probably crashed.

I have the same problem. Does anyone know how to fix it?

estevao · 2011-06-30 17:55:00

@Vegita: try recompiling phonon-xine from AUR... it's working here.

Chickencha · 2011-07-06 05:20:38

For anyone else having the same problem I had, I solved it by switching to phonon's vlc backend:

pacman -S phonon-vlc
pacman -R phonon-xine

estevao · 2011-07-06 14:16:40

@Chickencha: the only "problem" is that phonon-vlc does not have equalizer support _yet_. If you want some equalizer capabilities you can install phonon-xine from AUR... it should work.
