Amarok 1.3.8

Bugfix Release. Already in Dapper.

Changes Version 1.3.8: Bugfixes

* NMM engine would crash when seeking after the playlist finished, state Empty wasn't emitted * Fixed URL of the Nectarine radio stream. * Fix crash after changing the alsa device in the helix configuration dialog. * When amaroK exits, send SIGTERM to running scripts. (BR 119159) * Old error messages could be shown instead of current track lyrics. * The equalizer in the helix engine now works properly at low sample frequencies. * Fixed some threading issues in loading XML playlists. * Lyrics that are available on lyrc.ar would be shown as "not found". * The helix engine now includes protection so that misbehaving streams do not cause the visualizations to leak memory.

Other than the usual complaining about taglib, it compiles and runs fine for me, FWIW.

Hi, sorry, but i'm a newbie here.

i would like to install amorok 1.3.8, but found that from synaptic i can only get 1.3.1. How then, can i install 1.3.8? i went to the link above, but can't find anything that i can use (or maybe i'm missing something?)

TIA and Regards, Edwin

Add the apt source to your sources.list:

deb http://kubuntu.org/packages/amarok-1.3.8 breezy main

There are numerous guides to adding repositories dotted around the place :)

Open up Synaptic, go to "Settings" ----> "Repositories" -----> "Add" ------> "Custom" and copy this into the "APT Line"

deb http://kubuntu.org/packages/amarok-1.3.8 breezy main

Press Ok, then press "Reload"

There you go. ;)

Thanks guys! Woah that totally rocks! For a moment i was starting to look up on how to compile from source! (Some more i'll have to compile libtag 1.4)

BTW, slightly digressing, when i entered the new repository and reloaded, i get the following error message:

W: GPG error: http://kubuntu.org breezy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY A506E6D4DD4D5088

W: GPG error: http://security.ubuntu.com breezy-security Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key <ftpmaster@ubuntu.com>

Don't know if that matters or not 'cos i still managed to update amarok, but what do they mean anyway?

Thanks again!

It's a verification thing. Just bring up a console and go:

wget http://people.ubuntu.com/~jriddell/kubuntu-packages-jriddell-key.gpg

sudo apt-key add kubuntu-packages-jriddell-key.gpg

That'll make it so the packages you get from that repo are signed.

hmmm ok... now i don't get the error for the amarok source, but still getting the other one:

W: GPG error: http://security.ubuntu.com breezy-security Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key <ftpmaster@ubuntu.com>

Any idea?

Thanks and Regards, Edwin
