Bug 190292 – media-sound/amarok-1.4.6-r1 fails to start the first time it is run, complaining for ksycoca

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Michalis Giannakidis 2007-08-26 11:23:56 UTC]

The first time I try to start amarok, an error message window appears:

'''
Amarok could not find any sound-engine plugins. Amarok is now updating the KDE configuration database. Please wait a couple of minutes, then restart Amarok.
If this does not help, it is likely that Amarok is installed under the wrong prefix, please fix your installation using:
$ cd /path/to/amarok/source-code/
$ su -c "make uninstall"
$ ./configure --prefix=`kde-config --prefix` && su -c "make install"
$ kbuildsycoca
$ amarok
'''

At the same time these messages are printed to the terminal:

Amarok: [Loader] Starting amarokapp..
Amarok: [Loader] Don't run gdb, valgrind, etc. against this binary! Use amarokapp.
kio (KMimeType): WARNING: KServiceType::offers : servicetype Amarok/Plugin not found

.......

Next time I run amarok (and after ksycoca from the previous run is completed) it starts up with no errors.

Reproducible: Always
