last-exit won't work

I can't get it to work with arch. Both the package and compiled versions. Also, it shows no error when I open it. It just doesn't play any music.

Anyone could point me to the light here?

Re: last-exit won't work

Hi.  I too am looking for a good last.fm client on Arch.  For the moment, amaroK doesn't retrieve metadata properly and the Next, Skip, Love, etc buttons do not function.  This is perhaps due to a change in the server protocol, or whatever, but last.fm + Amarok fans are looking forward to getting this resolved.

Arch Linux has the last-exit package. 

Upon install I get:

(22/23) installing last-exit                        [#####################] 100%
/var/lib/pacman/local/last-exit-5-1/install: line 5: scrollkeeper-update: command not found

That can't be good.  Let try to run last-exit just to see ....

[bwayne@earth ~]$ last-exit

Unhandled Exception: System.Exception: Unable to open the session message bus. ---> System.ArgumentNullException: Argument cannot be null.
Parameter name: address
  at NDesk.DBus.Bus.Open (System.String address) [0x00000]
  at NDesk.DBus.Bus.get_Session () [0x00000] --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

  at NDesk.DBus.Bus.get_Session () [0x00000]
  at NDesk.DBus.BusG.Init () [0x00000]
  at LastExit.Driver.Main (System.String[] args) [0x00000]

Painful. 

So what're last.fm users using to listen to last.fm?

Re: last-exit won't work

shell-fm [community] or shell-fm-svn [aur]?
