Kubuntu Amarok various bugs

[Brian Watson]

Binary package hint: amarok

Various bugs in Amarok 1.4.8 after upgrading Kubuntu via adept. Couldent find a place to file this, so I'll put it here.

Automount for Amarok no longer works, at least for iPods, Amarok no longer tracks your music library, and Lyric Scripts (Lyrc) no longer work.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please answer these questions:

 * Which version of Kubuntu do you use?

This will help us to find and resolve the problem.

Can you try amarok with fresh configuration files, cause this may only be aproblem with your settings?

[Brian Watson (vertexoflife)]

Wow, I totally forgot that one. I'm in Kubuntu 8.04 beta, and I have tried amarok with fresh config files, to no avail.

This is the error code I get from amarok's Lyrc script. Amarok was fine up until the beta upgrade.

and ruby is installed?

[Brian Watson (vertexoflife)]

Correct.

[Harald Sitter (apachelogger)]

The used lyrics website is br0ken, we (upstream) are working on a replacement for 1.4.9 which hopefully can be shipped in Hardy.

[Brian Watson (vertexoflife)]

The bug seems to have resolved itself, did they fix the website?

[Lydia Pintscher (lydia-pintscher)]

Yes seems like the site is up again.
We will however still try to change to another script upstream for Amarok 1.4.9.

(marking as fix released)

[Brian Watson (vertexoflife)]

Thanks.
