------------------

No indicator icon appears either. Starting amarok either through unity or in the terminal starts two amarok processes, one of which is always a zombie. If started in a terminal only one can be terminated from the terminal, the other has to be done manually.

dpkg-query -l phonon\*

The same problem on my system. Kubuntu trusty.

[Harald Sitter (apachelogger)]

sudo apt-get install phonon-backend-gstreamer1.0

[John (john-deactivatedaccount)]

That seems to have fixed it.

Should that be a dependancy of amarok?

[Myriam Schweingruber (myriam)]

With my upstream hat on: not for Amarok by default, but for the Amarok providced by Kubuntu 14.04 certainly, else we will get flooded by bugs that are specific to this distribution.

[Antonio J. de Oliveira (ajoliveira)]

sudo apt-get install phonon-backend-gstreamer1.0

Fixed 1299738.

Thanks. Please revise dependencies.

Cheers

Myriam, be cool. this is a beta, and we all agreed to cooperate:-) And... it works.I have to check "my"maintained driver.

Today's uploads switch back to nameing the .deb phonon-backend-gstreamer
