Linux Users Only (Amarok and podcasts)

[Paul]

I'm probably on a hiding to nothing here, but has anyone else had problems adding the podcast feed to Amarok 2? I'm using the url http://feeds.feedburner.com/TheSwordA... which works fine in atunes (and everything else I've tried), but turns up nothing in Amarok. All that happens is I get a Sword and Laser icon... with no feeds underneath. (Refresh doesn't work either.)

I'm asking on the off-chance somebody has had a similar problem and solved it. I'm suspecting the problem's actually with Amarok. I'm running version 2.5 with Mint 12 KDE).

I just loaded Mint 12 from a usb with Amarok Ver. 2.5 (gnome not kde but amarok doesnt care). Seems to work fine.
Now this is an iso image and doesn't have the *latest* updates. That tells me it was probably a dependancy update thats causing a problem.
I've had that happen before with Amarok (back when I used a gui :). You should try a backup, purge, and restore of Amarok.
A two second fix but remember to backup the amarok directory first.

P.S Also to consider: have you had a major kernel update recently? If so you should probably reboot.

Thanks for taking the time to check out Mint for me, Steve. I followed your suggestion, and the problem is now fixed. A purge did the trick. Much obliged to you :o)
