Amorak has always worked fine for me in the past however now I can’t get it to open.
To my knowledge the only change I have recently made was to reorganize my panels so the system tray is in a panel on the left.
On attempting to start amorak the start up screen for it comes up and stays until clicked on.
Amorak doesn’t show up in the system tray but shows up as running in system monitor.
Clicking show application window has no affect.
Any help would be appreciated thanks.
Try doing this in a terminal and report the results shown:
amarok
Also post result of:
zypper lr -d
reuben@linux-zjkr:~> amarok
Amarok is already running!
zypper lr -d
<unknown program name>(14470)/: Communication problem with "amarok" , it probably crashed.
Error message was: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken." "

Try deleting these hidden folder and files
This folder: .kde4/share/apps/amarok
These files:
.kde4/share/config/amarok-appletsrc
.kde4/share/config/amarok_homerc
.kde4/share/config/amarokrc
Great, it’s working now.
Happy to help
