Description Thierry Göckel 2009-04-21 00:47:42 UTC

Version:           2.1-svn (using KDE 4.2.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Strangely, there is no last.fm service working in the/my current svn build. Neither scrobbling, nor scrobbling work.

here's the output of amarok-d: http://pastebin.com/m3f0b6f89

Please specify what more information you need to solve this issue.

The debug output does however show that the plugin is being loaded:

Are the Ampache and Shoutcast Directory plugins working?

Comment 2 Sven Krohlas 2009-04-21 09:09:39 UTC

The machine is online?
If it has no network connection the last.fm plugin won't be shown.

Comment 3 Thierry Göckel 2009-04-21 10:21:28 UTC

Yes, the machine is online and the other services (they are also related to being online, aren't they?) work! I found out about last.fm not working when I wanted to listen to some radio streams of theirs, so I just listened to some shoutcast stations, which worked very well.
How exactly does amarok check whether it is online or not? I've got a quite non-functional eth2 interface enabled in /etc/network/interfaces.. should I try to disable that one (or the kde-network-manager linked to it)?

Comment 4 Thierry Göckel 2009-04-21 10:53:50 UTC

Commenting out the lines of the dysfunctional interface in said /etc/network/interfaces solved the problem! Still, I think this is weird because a working interface doesn't need to be defined in that file.

Comment 5 Mark Kretschmann 2009-04-28 09:53:19 UTC

This has been fixed a few days ago by the following commit:


SVN commit 959621 by mitchell:

Make Internet services behave consistently -- a proper fix can go in 2.2 if someone cares.
