Twice now I have had it browse wikipedia for an artist, it failed partway into the load, and konq choked and died. ... It's a user thing. Root comes up in kde fine. Do a $ rm -rf ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok ~/tmp/kde-USER/amarok*.tmp to get rid of Amarok stuff and try again. Note that 'USER' will be different for you. While you're at it, I'd also add the Amarok site as a urpmi source and use their beta 1.4 which has been far less problematic for me than Mandrake's stable version. # urpmi.addmedia amarok-beta http://www.gkmweb.com/amarok/2006.0/1.4-beta with hdlist.cz # urpmi --auto-select amarok Let us know if that helps.
