Well.. the update didn't go as well as I would like!
Here's where the problem started! Any idea?
make[6]: *** [libamarokarts.la] Error 1

Although amarok is probably my favorite audio player, I have found it
to be a little finicky. I usually find it works best with
xine. I usually use a "-arts -gstreamer xine" so xine is the only
engine available. I also usually have a "-mysql -postgres"
because it seems silly to me to have a database running to listen to
music. If you disable both of those, it just uses sqlite. I
have also use "-opengl" becase at one time (they probably have fixed it
by now, but I haven't checked) there was an issue with amarok, opengl,
and nvidia cards. I don't use/watch any of the visualizations
anyway so I have never seen the point. I make sure to add in
"musicbrainz" since that is a nice service. So to sum up, my use
flags are generally: "-arts -gstreamer xine -mysql -postgres -opengl
musicbrainz" I know it isn't a direct solution to your problem, I
just thought I would share my experiences.
