Amarok, when started, just look at the output of dcop, to see if amarokapp is already there. Often, there is one but that is not responsive (dcop amarokapp) hangs.
So, doing: killall amarok killall amarokapp waiting 60 seconds without having sound in KDE to let artsd disable making sure kaffeine is not working then launching amarok open it in the 'program tray' at the right normally works well for me for making amarok live again. -- amarok hangs on start https://launchpad.net/bugs/89711 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
