Description Teodosiy Kirilov 2008-11-05 23:28:22 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.1.2)
Compiler:          gcc 4.3.2 20081007 (Red Hat 4.3.2-6) 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

After a restart after 'make install' in amarok Revision: 880586 
Plasmoids on the desktop (e.g clock, notes) can't be moved, nor removed and no data displayed. E.g 00:00 O'Clock , (not sure) black rounded rectangle instead of the yellow sticky notes...

Seb was having similar problems.

Comment 2 Seb Ruiz 2008-11-05 23:31:57 UTC

I've seen this for quite a long time now, but assumed it was something wrong with my installation and ignored it.

It seems that the plasma dataengines fail to load.

Comment 3 Teodosiy Kirilov 2008-11-05 23:32:47 UTC

Created attachment 28350 [details]
Output of 'make install'

I've noticed following lines at the end of the original plasma-*.desktop files
(e.g plasma-dataengine.desktop)
[PropertyDef::X-Plasma-EngineName]
Type=QString

In Amarok's versions these lines are missing

SVN commit 881039 by seb:

Don't overwrite plasma files. Since Amarok is using plasma trunk, this causes big problems for users with KDE 4.1 plasma installed. For anybody that has suffered at the hands of this indiscretion, you'll have to manually uninstall amarok, then replace your original plasma installation from your package manager.
A big sideeffect of this fix is that Amarok-plasma probably won't work for anyone with no plasma installation. We need to resolve this.
