amarok won't start in xubuntu
I have a fairly new xubuntu install, and I recently tried to install
amarok from the kubuntu amarok repository.
I added the amarok repositories to my apt sources.list and ran "sudo
aptitude install amarok". It went about installing all dependencies.
When it finished, I tried to run amarok, but it crashed with the
following error:
Floating point exception (core dumped)
further investigation shows a crash when trying to start kdeinit:
jon@gimli:~$ kdeinit
Creating link /home/jon/
Created link from "/home/
kdeinit: Shutting down running client.
-------
It looks like dcopserver is already running. If you are sure
that it is not already running, remove /home/jon/
and start dcopserver again.

Creating link /home/jon/
Created link from "/home/
kded: ERROR: Communication problem with kded, it probably crashed.
jon@gimli:~$
I actually tried installing kubuntu-desktop and logging into KDE. When
logged into kde, amarok actually ran. Logging back into XFCE, it
crashed. What's going on?
edit: I also checked and have kdebase-kio-plugins installed, so that is not the problem.
