Description rhm47 2010-03-20 17:49:07 UTC

Version:           2.3.0 (using 4.4.1 (KDE 4.4.1), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.31-20-generic

Regardless of the number of times I scan for my collection, none is created.  I've updated and fully scanned.  I've removed and reinstalled. I can play files (but not see cover art) by browsing files but only files that are in the top level, not in a subfolder (can't see those files).

Comment 1 rhm47 2010-03-20 17:50:16 UTC

I am using Ubuntu 9.1 and always update when asked.

Comment 2 Sven Krohlas 2010-03-20 19:35:45 UTC

There should be new packages available that fix the collection issue.

About cover art: Amarok does not yet support embedded cover art.

About this bug: do not mix two issues into one -> one issue per bug.

Comment 3 rhm47 2010-03-20 20:35:38 UTC

Thanks Sven but I have uninstalled and reinstalled via Ubuntu 9.1 
software center and problem still exists (i.e. even after scanning, 
there is no local collection).  Where would these new packages be?  How 
can I completely uninstall so I get a clean install of the package 
without the bug?

If this is not the appropriate way to resolve my problem, tell me what 
to do.

See https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=230916#c42 for a workaround and https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=230916#c47 for the up2date packages.

Comment 5 rhm47 2010-03-20 22:40:50 UTC

1) I used the workaround and amarok built a collection.  Everything seemed OK.
2) I shut down.
3) Later tried restart and got a "amarok was shut down unexpectedly" notice.
4) Tried to file a bug report.  The guide created a crash report but said the data was unusable.  I added my comments anyway (which were that I was simply trying to restart).
5) Tried to send the crash report. No luck.
6) Completely removed amarok using sudo dpkg -P amarok to completely purge the application.
7)  Reloaded using the workaround.
8) On restart of amarok got the same "amarok was shut down unexpectedly notice.

I want to resolve this problem!  What next?

By the way, ubuntu 9.1 using gnome

Comment 6 Sven Krohlas 2010-03-20 23:00:16 UTC

This is a completely different issue than before. Remember: one bug per issue. Also, this is not a support forum but a bug tracker.

Try with a fresh profile, you will find all settings-related files in ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok and ~/.kde/share/config/amarokrc

If it doesn't work then ask in #amarok or #kubuntu on IRC.
