AmaroK doesn't include libmysql* on Jaunty

Asked by Mikiya Okuno

Hi,

It appears that AmaroK doesn't include libmysqlclient after upgrading to Jaunty. I cannot specify a database as a collection repository. Does anyone notice the problem? Should I install it from a source? I cannot select a database instance in a collection configuration window.

Kind regards!

try:

sudo apt-get clean; rm -rf ~/.kde/share/config/amarokrc; rm -rf ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok; sudo apt-get --purge remove amarok; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; sudo apt-get install amarok

The first bits completely remove amarok as well as its config in your home as well as throughout the system.

You will then reinstall amarok from a fresh download from the repos which will hopefully pull down the relevant SQL libs

If you prefer Amarok 1.4 (I use it due to needing XUL remote which isnt in 2.0) add this repo:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/bogdanb/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

then run:

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install amarok14

Thank you for your instruction. However, I cannot fix the problem by re-installing amarok completely. I guess that libmysqlclient is not linked to the binary. See that libqt4-sql-mysql is flagged as "suggests":
http://packages.ubuntu.com/en/jaunty/amarok

Kind regards!

Amarok-2 is still not able to do many things we used with 1.4.
So... with the following link you will find a way to still use 1.4 with Jaunty:

Much fun and greetings

Can you help with this problem?
