Description Andrei 2006-05-18 06:43:08 UTC 
as soon as i start it as a refular user it displays a first-run wizard and after a few seconds an error message stating that amarok could not find any sound-engine plugins. then it sais that amarok could be installed under the wrong prefix (i have no idea how to check this but since it's installed from an official ebuild i guess the prefix is ok...)

i guess it has something to do with ksycoca
here is the console output...

Comment 1 radfoj 2006-05-18 07:54:15 UTC 
Should be due a bad permissions for /usr/share/services directory. Is it readable for regular user?
Comment 2 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-05-18 08:00:45 UTC 
It really should.
Comment 3 Andrei 2006-05-19 15:13:18 UTC 
you were right, /usr/share/services was set to 700. now it works like a charm :)
thanks!
