Description telliangun 2009-02-09 17:45:23 UTC

Amarok version 2.0.1.1 fails to play on a brand new full KDE 4.2 system.
The problem is that Amarok requires xine to play, for which KDE fails to create the .desktop file.

The fix for this is simple, all you have to do is run the following as root:
cp /usr/share/kde4/services/phononbackends/xine.desktop /usr/kde/4.2/share/kde4/services/ && cp /usr/share/kde4/services/phononbackends/gstreamer.desktop /usr/kde/4.2/share/kde4/services/

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install KDE 4.2
2. Install Amarok
3. Try to play

Actual Results:  
Software did not play.

Thank you. I can confirm that this works for me as well (with kdeprefix-USE-flag enabled).
