Amarok not working

I just installed KDE on my arch64 system. For some reason, Amarok is not working...

Amarok: [Loader] Starting amarokapp..
Amarok: [Loader] Don't run gdb, valgrind, etc. against this binary! Use amarokapp.
kdecore (KAction): WARNING: KAction::insertKAccel( kaccel = 0x7bc250 ): 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 = 0x7bc250 ): KAccel object already contains an action name "play_pause"
QLayout: Adding KToolBar/mainToolBar (child of QVBox/unnamed) to layout for PlaylistWindow/PlaylistWindow
QObject::connect: Incompatible sender/receiver arguments
        StarManager::ratingsColorsChanged() --> ContextBrowser::ratingOrScoreOrLabelsChanged(const QString&)
Amarok: [Loader] amarokapp probably crashed!

Any ideas anyone?

Re: Amarok not working

I'm having this exact same problem on my i686 system, but I don't know what's causing it.  Our error messages are identical.

Re: Amarok not working

I solved this problem by removing .kde/cache-* and .kde/share/config/amarokrc from my home directory.  Amarok now starts up.

Re: Amarok not working

I spoke too soon.  That just got it to launch the wizard that's shown on first run, but after that the application itself still crashes.

Try this:
killall amarokapp
rm -R /home/username/.kde/share/apps/amarok

Re: Amarok not working

Try this:
killall amarokapp
rm -R /home/username/.kde/share/apps/amarok

Didn't work   I had tried that before as well.  I can't figure out why it's crashing.  Again, my error is:

~$ amarok

Re: Amarok not working

I fixed the issue.  I reinstalled all packages on my system, and suddenly amarok started working.  To reinstall all packages, run:

sudo pacman -S `pacman -Q| cut -d' ' -f1`

Isn't that overkill a little?
