Here's what happened when I tried running amarok 1.4 beta1: kbuildsycoca: WARNING: '/home/david/.local/share/applications/mplayer.desktop' specifies undefined mimetype/servicetype 'video/x-fli' kbuildsycoca: WARNING: '/home/david/.local/share/applications/mplayer.desktop' specifies undefined mimetype/servicetype 'video/vnd.vivo' ...snip... kbuildsycoca: WARNING: '/home/david/.local/share/applications/mplayer-usercustom.desktop' specifies undefined mimetype/servicetype 'application/x-extension-mp4'kdecore (KAction): WARNING: KActionCollection::KActionCollection( QObject *parent, const char *name, KInstance *instance ) KCrash: Application 'amarokapp' crashing... Could not find 'drkonqi' executable. KCrash cannot reach kdeinit, launching directly. ICE default IO error handler doing an exit(), pid = 24148, errno = 0 As you can see, it can't drkonqi and dies. After "emerge drkonqi", amarok...err..."get's further" would be a nice way of saying it. BTW, I am a gnome user.
