had 1.4.4 and was working perfectly. emerge world gave me 1.4.5 and it can't seem to find the sound engine, void is the only option. Sound works from websites, youtube and google, last.fm, etc., so the sound engine itself is fine. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Had amarok 1.4.4 2. emerge -av world 3. amarok 1.4.5 fails to find a sound engine. Actual Results: Seems to load and start fine; my collection is there etc. however, when i click play, i get "Error: no engine loaded, cannot start playback." In the settings -> conf amarok -> Engine dialog, the only option in the dropdown is <no engine>. Expected Results: I performed a revdep-rebuild after emerging world, and nothing about alsa or any sound components were reported amiss. Not sure how it "lost" the engine like this.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 130052 ***
I fail to see how this is a duplicate. The bug you marked this a dup of is 1.4.4, which worked perfectly for me! Upgrading to 1.4.5 via emerge is what broke amarok. Moreover, none of the fixes, assumptions or details mentioned in the bug you made this a dup of, show any results at all. None.
To be explicit, from the previous bug: "After emerging amarok, I got the "couldn't find configuration, please compile with --prefix=`kde-config --prefix` etc"-error message when I tried to run amarok." This did not happen with me. nothing of he sort. "Sounds like the problem are stray .la files in /usr/kde/<kdever> most likely." There are none. find /usr/kde/3.5 -name '*amarok*.la' returns nothing. "I resolved the issue by removing *every* trace of kde-3.4-stuff in the portage tree and in the file system and recompiling amarok." There are no traces of KDE 3.4 left on my system that i can find. Therefore none of the solutions mentioned in the previous bug from 6 months ago from a previous version are applicable to this current problem.
Here's a cool idea then - kindly post some *errors* when filing bugs.
Fair enough. Recompiling with bug use flag. More soon.
So when i start amarok now, i get this: rmunsch@randomaccess ~/perl $ amarokapp amarok: BEGIN: App::App() amarok: BEGIN: void App::fixHyperThreading() amarok: SMP system detected. Enabling WORKAROUND. amarok: END__: void App::fixHyperThreading() - Took 0.00064s amarok: END__: App::App() - Took 0.0049s amarok: BEGIN: void App::continueInit() amarok: BEGIN: EngineBase* EngineController::loadEngine(const QString&) amarok: [PluginManager] Plugin trader constraint: [X-KDE-Amarok-framework-version] == 28 and [X-KDE-Amarok-plugintype] == 'engine' and [X-KDE-Amarok-name] != 'void-engine' and [X-KDE-Amarok-rank] > 0 amarok: [PluginManager] Plugin trader constraint: [X-KDE-Amarok-framework-version] == 28 and [X-KDE-Amarok-plugintype] == 'engine' and [X-KDE-Amarok-name] == 'void-engine' and [X-KDE-Amarok-rank] > 0 amarok: [PluginManager] Trying to load: libamarok_void-engine_plugin amarok: amarok: PluginManager Service Info: amarok: --------------------------- amarok: name : <no engine> amarok: library : libamarok_void-engine_plugin amarok: desktopEntryPath : amarok_void-engine_plugin.desktop amarok: X-KDE-Amarok-plugintype : engine amarok: X-KDE-Amarok-name : void-engine amarok: X-KDE-Amarok-authors : (Max Howell,Mark Kretschmann) amarok: X-KDE-Amarok-rank : 1 amarok: X-KDE-Amarok-version : 1 amarok: X-KDE-Amarok-framework-version: 28 amarok: amarok: END__: EngineBase* EngineController::loadEngine(const QString&) - Took 0.023s Note the lack of a usable engine. Where should i look for additional info? What would be helpful?
On first run after original upgrade, i got a brief "Hey! There's no engine!" message and it defaulted to void. Ever since, void is my only choice in the drop-down, as originally stated. The program *runs* okay... it just insists that there is no engine but Void, and Void is the One True Engine. I'm not sure how to go about usefully debugging amarok becoming a nihilist. How can i get it to check for "new" engines? Reemerge alsa?
of note, i also reemerged xine-libs; no effect.
I uninstalled the Amarok ebuild, and got the 1.4.5 source. Built from source with ./configure --prefix=`kde-config --prefix` --enable-mysql Works fine. Xine listed as a sound engine choice and works. All sys go when installing from sources. The ebuild cannot find xine for some reason but i still can't figure out what's different.
Can you try building from the ebuild again and posting the output from amarok if you run with amarok --engine xine? also can you see if /usr/kde/3.5/lib/kde3/libamarok_xine-engine.so exists when building from the ebuild?
uninstall amarok in *every* way you installed it, find /usr -name '*amarok*' should report nothing. Then install amarok, all should be fine.
