Bug ID: 399097
Summary: Amarok fails to locate plugins after installation, no
useful feedback provided to user
Product: amarok
Version: 2.9.0
Platform: Other
OS: All
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: kf5
I've just built Amarok v2.9.0 on my (Debian Stretch / Devuan ASCII) system,
installing it under `/usr/local`. I've followed the instructions on the Amarok
website, and installation was successful. But - when I start the app up, I get
a message telling me:
"Amarok could not find any plugins. The indicates an installation problem."
First, this should just not happen. If the installation succeeded, the app
should come up. Otherwise, `make install` should have failed, and produced some
message regarding what's missing. Alternatively, CMake should have checked for
whatever it is amarok needs (plugins etc.) or determined the directories where
those resources are found - or alternatively, fail to configure the build.
Even if the latter has not been done, the error message should tell the user:
* Which directories were searched for plugins
* What specific plugins are required which were not found
* Where the user should the missing necessary plugins
* How / where to get those plug-ins, or source code for building them
