Amarok now crashes whenever it's not run with root?

I think I messed something up very badly, after installing phonon-xine, amarok now runs only with root.  if i try to run it without root it gives me this error

Executable: amarok PID: 3060 Signal: 11 (Segmentation fault)


from the terminal it goes a little something like this...


$ amarok
QDBusObjectPath: invalid path ""
<unknown program name>(3078)/: Communication problem with  "amarok" , it probably crashed.
Error message was:  "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)" "

$ KCrash: Application 'amarok' crashing...
sock_file=/home/wrinkliez/.kde4/socket-myhost/kdeinit4__0

Re: Amarok now crashes whenever it's not run with root?

I had this same problem. The wiki told me nothing I didn't already do. Only root could run amarok. If not root, then the thing would crash. I decided to run amarok --debug and found an overwhelming amount of output. Careful examination of this data told me that amarok was having trouble trying to load current.xspf. It was a permission issue. So I ran this command:

sudo chmod 755 /home/lordawesome/.kde4/share/apps/amarok/current.xspf

Of course, your username probably isn't lordawesome, but if it is, then hopefully you are as cool as me. Before, Only root had access to this file. Now that amarok can read it, no crash. Hope this works for all of you too.
