[SOLVED]KDE 4.2 / Amarok (2?)

What happened to Amarok then? I could install and use it in KDEMod but in KDE 4.2? Nope. I really don't want to use Amarok 2, namely because it wouldn't compile and I think it's too much effort to sort out for an app that most people don't enjoy.

Is there any way of using Amarok from the repos? I have installed it but it is nowhere to find. I realise there is a very similar topic to this, but I wanted to ask a specific question.

Re: [SOLVED]KDE 4.2 / Amarok (2?)

I forgot the second part of my post, haha. I can't find amarok. It's not in the start menu, it's not in the launch menu, I can't run it by typing "amarok" in Konsole.

It just doesn't seem to exist anywhere. o_o

Edit: A reboot did the trick for some reason. That was strange! Marked as solved.

It's in /opt/kde/bin, which is probably not in your path.

Reboot is not needed... run kbuildsyscoca4 next time, this will re-parse all kde configs..
