Description David Koppelman 2019-03-09 19:17:16 UTC
Description of problem:

When started Amarok pops up a dialog reporting a problem with the
database plugin:

    The configured database plugin could not be loaded.
    In most cases you will need to resolve these errors before Amarok will run properly.

The problem was encountered the first time Amarok was run after
upgrading to f30. There were no problems running Amarok in f29.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

amarok-2.9.0-3.fc30.x86_64    

How reproducible:

Every time.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Amarok
2.
3.

Actual results:

Dialog reporting plugin problem.

Expected results:

Amarok UI.

Comment 1 David Koppelman 2019-03-10 23:46:31 UTC
Based on a perusal of some bug reports I suspect that the cause is a
build problem that prevents Amarok from loading plugins rather than a
problem with the database plugin. (I see errors for VLC and GStreamer
plugins in debug output obtained using the --debug switch.)

See https://bugs.gentoo.org/641060#c8

I tried this build and it works. That is, Amarok starts and runs correctly. Thank you!

Problem still exist for me.
Kubuntu 22.04.3 LTS
amarok: 2:2.9.81+git202308090146-0+yasi1~11~ubuntu22.04.1 amd64  

The information provided here:
https://userbase.kde.org/Amarok/Manual/Organization/Collection/ExternalDatabase

is for me not sufficient to get started.

The error message is:
---
The Amarok database reported the following errors:
The configured database plugin could not be loaded.
In most cases you will need to resolve these errors before Amarok will run properly.

Why are you reporting an Ubuntu problem here?

Comment 9 stefan@pofahl.de 2023-08-21 07:01:41 UTC
I guess it was rather amarok who proposed to send a bug report.
