SUMMARY The following Error Message appears when staring Amarok 2.9.70 Build from sept 10 2020 "The Amarok database reported the following errors: The configured database plugin could not be loaded. In most cases you will need to resolve these errors before Amarok will run properly." "Use External Mysql database" is unchecked and was never used After ignoring the Error Message The Local Collection shows "0 tracks" after scanning trough the Music directories for about 10 Minutes STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. 2. 3. OBSERVED RESULT EXPECTED RESULT SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 20.04 KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0 Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I have the same build and can't reproduce this here, my collection shows correctly. Please make sure you have not accidentally removed any of the required dependencies (a force reinstall usually helps for that), that the location of the database and collection are mounted and try restarting Amarok.
I did a purge uninstall and a reinstall and still the following Error Message appears "The Amarok database reported the following errors: The configured database plugin could not be loaded. In most cases you will need to resolve these errors before Amarok will run properly." What do you exactly mean with "that the location of the database and collection are mounted"
Make sure you have libmariadbd installed correctly, you probably modified something in your dependencies installation. Since you can have your collection and/or database elsewhere than on the partition you run Amarok from, these need to be mounted and accessible
i tried that, including reinstall, purge, but the database Error remained.. The interesting Thing is that, after giving up on Amarok for now i tried to install it from ppa:pgomes/amarok Version 2.9.70 And everything worked right away, no Database Error, and some GUI troubles like Playlist Fontsize. Whats actually the different approach between your and ppa:pgomes/amarok Developement ?
Did you build your previous version yourself? AFAIK Pedros PPA should reflect current master
