amarok package

set amarok to work on mysql DB

Asked by Mik0

hi, I'v installed Amarok and when it's started for the first time he asked me if i want to use mySql or it's built-in Sql-Engine.
So i marked that he'll use the default built-in Sql, but now i want to change it to work with mySql...
i'v tried to uninstall amarok, but it didn't help.
anyone has an idea?

Uninstall with configuration (--purge), that should delete all the known info.

Please have a look at http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/MySQL_HowTo
Among other informations it also describes how to import your current SQLite to MySQL. You can either change to MySQL by running the `amarok --wizard` or by changing the collection setting in Amarok's configuration dialog.

What do you mean by old configuration?
The database? -> rm -rf ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok/collection.db
The actual configuration? -> rm -rf ~/.kde/share/conifg/amarokrc
All of Amarok's data? -> rm -rf ~/.kde/share/*/amarok*
