Amarok Error

riderplus · December 11, 2013, 5:29pm

I upgraded Amarok (on openSUSE 13.1, KDE) and now I get this error:

Amarok could not find any collection plugins. It is possible that Amarok is installed under the wrong prefix, please fix your installation using:$ cd /path/to/amarok/source-code/
$ su -c "make uninstall"
$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` && su -c "make install"
$ kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental
$ amarok

No idea where the source-code is…no idea how to find that.

Where did you update amarok from? I updated using the packman rpm and haven’t had any problems:

PackMan :: Package details for amarok

riderplus · December 12, 2013, 10:29am

I installed it using PackMan :: Package details for amarok and got the same error. What is wrong?

martin_helm · December 12, 2013, 10:53am

It works here, can you check the version and vendor of your package to
see what you have exactly?

There is an unintended line break in the code line which happened by
sending it. Just post the output from

martin_helm · December 12, 2013, 12:22pm

That looks ok. What comes to my mind is if the executable from that file
is really what is invoked when you start amarok.

Have you ever built amarok yourself or installed some rpm which is not
for openSUSE?

Sometimes people have some version in /usr/local/bin which shadows the
executable in /usr/bin.

If you run


amarok --version

from a terminal does that show the version 2.8.0?
You can also check


which amarok

if that points to /usr/bin/amarok.

martin_helm · December 12, 2013, 12:31pm

Have you tried to run


kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental

to see if that solves the issue?

riderplus · December 12, 2013, 12:57pm

Both version and path are fine.
I ran kbuildsycoca4 and nothing happened

What is your exact KDE version at the moment, did you all the updates in
the last few days, it switched KDE from 4.11.2 to 4.11.3.

wolfi323 · December 12, 2013, 4:45pm

The exact KDE version does not matter since KDE is upwards compatible and amarok doesn’t specifically require 4.11.3.

But the most likely reason for the OP’s problem is that he installed the KDE update and didn’t reboot/restart KDE yet. So there are still parts of KDE 4.11.2 in use.
A simple reboot should fix this though.

Or maybe a mixture of KDE 4.11.2 and 4.11.3 packages?

riderplus · December 13, 2013, 12:21am

I did reboot the system. Same issue. When I fire up Amarok I get a progress bar saying “Updating …” then I get "Amarok cannot find any collection plugins. It is possible that Amarok is installed under the wrong prefix, please fix your installation using: " and then the whole error part.
Really annoying.

Just to be sure you have not something missing from an update, try a


su -
zypper ref
zypper up
zypper inr

and see if and what it wants to install.

Right, and that should be 4.11.3.

Have you tried to run those zypper commands suggested by martin_helm?

What do you get when you run:

sudo zypper in libkdecore4-4.11.3

Thank you, Martin, that did it! I don’t know why the updates were not installed, maybe I have to enable refresh for zypper to go automatically.

riderplus · December 13, 2013, 11:53am

Updating fixed it.
The only thing that still bothers me is Clementine media player eating 120% of CPU I opened a separate post on that, but I don’t know if anyone can help me with it.
