This is most likely a problem with the Spectrum Analyzer and OpenGL, you can workaround this for the moment and disable the analyzer by editing the ~/.kde/share/config/amarokrc file and set this value:
[Context View] firstTimeWithAnalyzer=false Restarting Amarok after that should show if I am right. FWIW: if you want a sensible output from the konsole, always start amarok with amarok -d --nofork ** Bug watch added: KDE Bug Tracking System #323635 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=323635 ** Also affects: amarok via https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=323635 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to amarok in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1319164 Title: Amarok won't work on Lubuntu 14.04 AMD64 Status in The Amarok Music Player: Unknown Status in “amarok” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Hardware: Amilo Pa 1538 (AMD Turion 64, X2 Mobile technology TL-50) 1 GB RAM Graphic card: Nvidia G72M (Geforce Go 7400) System: Lubuntu 14.04 Desktop AMD64 BIOS up to date Fresh install + install of new upgrades (official repositories) Install amarok 2.8 (including automatic selected necessary packages) out of the official repositories. On starting amarok, amarok window appears but freezes almost instantly (before the usual animation on first start after installation). There is no reaction by clicking anywhere inside the window. The window may be maximized, but only the frame maximizes, the content of the window doesn't get maximized. The computer can still be used or shut down the usual way when amarok is hanging that way. The amarok process doesn't use CPU then. It must be killed to stop. On a previous install of the same OS (exactly same version) on the same computer, Amarok started after some trials (I did nothing special. I had just played an MP3 with Gnome MPlayer before, but I don't think it was the reason. I shall also say that it first worked on the day after installation of the OS). Afterwards, amarok always worked fine. With Lubuntu 14.04 i386 on this machine, amarok works fine.
