Using the sound configuration make sure Amarok and the other apps are using ALSA.
ALSA will allow that, subject to it's "release" settings.
Great!... but where do I set this?
I have no idea - short of downloading and installing Kubuntu and looking... I "assume" the default setting will work - make sure the other apps are using the same (ALSA). Disclaimer: Phonon is still largely a mystery to me.
Yes, it is indeed Alsa. However, none of the other choices (PulseAudio, Esound) work, unfortunately.
Are they (sic) installed? (dpkg --get-selections | grep thing_you_want_to_know_is_installed)
As far as distributions go, I'm very conservative. I've got 9.04 now (although betas of 10.04 are out now). In 8.04, I opted for KDE 3 (back then, there was still choice between KDE3 and KDE4). I skipped 8.10 (the first one which made KDE 4 mandatory...) after seeing what a catastrophe it was after briefly testing it on my laptop. Then I went straight to 9.04 more than half a hear after it was released.
Gentle correction - *you* might be conservative, your choice of distribution, however, is not.
Yes, but until KDE4 was released, this still worked pretty well. But after KDE4, all we have is a huge mess, where KDE developers are claiming "but we did warn the distros that it is not production grade software", but distributions are claiming "but we had no choice, they dropped support for 3". And the users are caught in the middle.
Your last sentence is particularly true.
Any developer who says that "they have no choice" and/or ""they" dropped support for 3" is both a liar and a fool. See the last link in my response to your other post
When I try to do it here, it creates a new list with a new name (the current date and time)
I can only presume that Kubuntu uses a much modified version of Amarok - I don't even know if it uses the same mysql backend as Debian. I can understand your frustation with the Kubuntu forum. Web page in squintovision(tm), many of the posters badly post their problem description - then re-post shortly afterwards to say that they will use something else... Posts with problems appear in "Help the new guy" and "Software support" which doesn't help locating an answer to a problem.
When
it creates a new list with a new name
can you change the name to the original playlist name? I did find one useful link there (though I only searched for about 10 minutes).
No I'm truly lost... From left to right on the default Amarok menubar: Amarok, View, Playlist, Tools, Setting, Help.(letter in bold is the hotkey)
I only have Amarok, Playlist, Tools, Settings, Help. No View:-(
Correction: I meant "Now I'm truly lost
Tried that already. Most of the time I get "this is the wrong place for reporting 'pet peeve' type bugs.
How sad/pathetic (of them). I tried searching for "pet peeves" flamebait - those posts must of been deleted - perhaps if I check cached copies...
We have no choice, they dropped support for KDE 3 upstream, so we had to go along and have no choice in this"
Another lame (Kubuntu) response... It's fairly simple to replace Amarok2 with Amarok. Kubuntu is repackaged Ubuntu - I've recently replaced Amarok2 with Amarok on a clients Ubuntu laptop.
I'm not sure how I can assist you further. I don't use Kubuntu (or Ubuntu). As a business I don't support Kubuntu either (we are currently debating dropping support for Ubuntu) 'cause supporting SLAs for unstable is like nailing snot to the wall.
This link gives the developers reasons for Amarok2 (an restates the "we warned you KDE4 wasn't for production" line).
As a final suggestion - have you tried juk, minirok, kaffeine or songbird? Cheers
Yes, but thanks to proprietary software, none of those bugs will be fixed, only found and exploited.
Didn't you read the referenced article? Microsoft has a superior, um, thingie - and so there are no bugs to be found. And if you disagree they will crank up their Aesopian ghostwriting dept and prove you wrong. (probably with a backing soundtrack of screaming rabbits and crying babies).
So, given that Microsoft gave the source code to the Chinese government, and that there are a lot of Chinese... perhaps Microsoft products are also subject to the "more eyes" rule....
Bugs are an error in the process, not the code. If you find a bug, you need to find the process error that allowed that bug to occur.
Agreed!
I read, with interest, the referenced article. I was expecting FUD - but I didn't find much, until I reached the Conclusion.
eg.
The many eyeballs argument is neat, tidy, compelling, and wrong.
The article starts with
Eric S. Raymond wrote , “Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow.” He calls this Linus’ law.
and then attempts to refute. Fair enough. Except - the link leads to The Cathedral And The Bazaar - where I cannot find the quote... Hmmm
Now this might be relevant if the "many eyes" routine was the only form of audit used in GNU/Linux - but is not the only form of review/audit used. I'm sure other, more knowledgable posters will be able to provide more evidence than I could find in a quick search.
I don't have Configure Amarok as a top-level menu bar item. There is however a Configure Amarok under Settings, and from there I do indeed find Playback->Sound System Configuration->Config. But once I am there, how do exactly I enable sharing with other apps?
My bad memory. You are right the option is under "Settings".
I'm still unclear as to what you mean by "share with other apps". If you mean allow other apps to use the sound bus at the same time - ALSA will allow that, subject to it's "release" settings. If you mean "pipe" eg. play a song in Amarok and pipe the sound into Audacity, process it somehow, then pipe the sound out your speakers, then you will need to employ the JACK sound system. Sound is definitely not my area - this may help, and you should probably check the requirements (as root/sudo "dpkg --get-selections | grep the_package_you_are_checking_for")
Yes, that brings me to the same page as above.
And shows you which settings you are currently using... re: my question "What sound system are you using"
As has been stated earlier - KDE4 is still in development, Kubuntu (and other distros) have attempted to make it stable and useable - unfortunately that is not possible due to it's rapid development. I like the new features and I look forward to their stabilization. But IMHO they belong (rightfully) in Testing/Unstable.
Note: Testing/Unstable = Cutting/Bleeding Edge. The view might be nice, but the effort required is half the satisfaction gained. Which is the reason I don't run Testing/Unstable on my production machines. I understand the reasons the Ubuntu/Kubuntu et al are based on Testing/Unstable - but it's always seemed contradictory to me - "for new users and they want the latest" (but the latest has the least testing, the most bugs, and the least user-friendly documentation.
I should also point out that the major difference between free OSs and commercial OSs is with the free ones - the testing is done by the users. The commercial ones do all their testing before the end-users get to try it. On the plus side, the free OS users don't have to wait 2+years for the latest.
A new list. Indeed. So there is indeed no way to edit an existing list (which was still possible with the old version, where you could drag songs directly to a saved list).
No. you can still do that. However you (still) need to save the changes. If you save the (modified) playlist with the same name (in the same location) - then you will have edited an existing list
Unfortunately, I don't have a "view" item in my menu bar (neither at its root, nor elsewhere)
No I'm truly lost... From left to right on the default Amarok menubar: Amarok, View, Playlist, Tools, Setting, Help.(letter in bold is the hotkey)
I haven't used Kubuntu so I don't know if they have modified the default Amarok toolbar.
No offense (I'm happy to help) but the Kubuntu forums are a better place for your questions. The moderators will (rightly) mod our posts as "Off-track".
I really don't think Charley was trying to crash it, so it wasn't a "denial of service" attack. In fact, there was no service, so nothing was being denied! All these stories of "well, I typed this and it crashed the system" aren't DOS attacks. Deliberately doing it repeatedly, and in a way that couldn't be easily locked out (e.g. by deleting your user account and banning you from the computer room) might constitute a DOS attack, but there has to be an intent to Deny Service to one or more other people.
I believe the situation the Great-great-GP refers to is if you capsize (or fall overboard) with indefinite information as to when you'll be rescued, and you either don't know which way land is or know it's too far to swim.
What you mean is either "I have an idea", or, "I have a great emotional investment".
In these cases, your best action is to lie still and float, because someone will figure out you're missing and send rescue (which is a lot harder if you've drowned after exhausting yourself).
Get a life. (Have you actually been in the ocean? Was there any waves?)
Your answer is as stupid as criticising someone's answer on "what to do when attacked by a bear" (run), because it's not "what to do when attacked by a rhinoceros" (climb a tree).
Now you are really off on a tangent...
Get a brain - my post was in response to what I quoted.
Also, your use of both HTML [ul]s and manual list points is infuriating.
Why do you assume that 1) Most on here are American and 2) Every Australian feels as you do?
1) Citation please?
2) What does that have to do with anything? Too much emotional content...
Now I'm no genius or anything, but it seems to be that you'd have to live in Australia, or at least be IN Australia, in order to participate in a "real-life protest" in Australia.
Evidently. Try reading the referenced article/s and you'll appear less of an arseclown

If you don't fit an airline seat, cargo net your fat disgusting ass to a pallet and go air freight.
What about if you're able to fit into the seat just fine, but are an anti-social asshole with a superiority complex? What's the victim in the next seat to do then?
What we normally do - don't talk to them. It's not like their private attitudes is taking your space, crushing you physically, or increasing your chance of thrombosis.
Next time you're charged excess baggage 'cause the airline wants to bill you proportionate to the fuel and space the transport costs - think how you'll feel if someone else loads up luggage twice the weight and area of yours, and gets told "no extra charge".
Ah - another of your meta-semantic trolls - how enlightening...
Are you talking about this censorship or about censorship in general?
"this" censorship. (in the context of the original post and resulting thread).
In Australia there has been little public debate about the government Internet Filtering proposition. Media coverage has been predominately about people downloading files and what it costs the industry.
When the question of whether the proposed censorship is good/achievable/economical any intelligent debate has been drowned out by the "what about the children" chant (Family First Party). Operation Titstorm has put the debate back in the media - and further strengthened the fear campaign of the pro-censorship lobby - the hard work done by such groups as SAGE, EFA has been discredited by the attacks and the spamming of porn. The perception only pornographers and "pirates" are against pornography should be easier to discredit if a broader representation of the anti-censorship people is seen.
But most of them are college-age basement dwellers who type out their screeds in between trips to the minifridge to get more Cheetos.
[Asked very sl-o-wly] Are you American??
Tits or not, no one listens to protestors
Perhaps you should have read the linked article... the bit you're looking for is silent protest. I'll summarize the rest of the info for you STFU.
I could be confused - but is "protestors" a word?? In this particular instance I think (hope) that you are wrong. The general public, and most of the politicians believe that it is only a small section of society that is against censorship. The protest will allow them to see that those against censorship are not a bunch of socialmisfits in search of lolz and animal sex.
I, for one, welcome the chance to put the agenda to the politicians.
I'd love to hear that someone was organizing a protest next week - at the American Embassy against the imposition of ACTA, and the lobbying (read bribing) of Australian politicians to support/allow *IAA. Maybe iinet could put on some buses?
You seem to have thought this out a bit too thoroughly:D
No. "thought" would require using my brain, and I didn't. I'm an idiot 'cause I should have quoted the post I was responding to - like so:-
If they *rely* on EXIF dqta to establish copyright they are pretty dumb. EXIF data can be esaily manipulated or even removed altogether. I can replace your (C) Copyright WinterSolstice notice with a (C) Copyright AnonymousCoward notice with just a couple of clicks

Damn remote desktop through mobile phone!
And is there a way to enable it to share the audio device with other apps (mplayer, firefox,...).
Menu bar -> Configure Amarok -> Playback -> right-hand pane under Sound System Configuration -> hit the Config button - when you're done hit "Apply".
as I didn't found the place where this is set in GUI
Start Menu -> System (or Settings(?) - working from memory as my KDE4.3 machine is at home) -> Settings -> System Settings -> from the left-hand pane -> Computer Administration -> Multimedia
For more helpful Amarok information Read The Fine Manual at amarok.kde.org/wiki/Main_Page.
There's at least three ways. Try dragging the song from the left-hand panel to the playlist in the right-hand panel...
Last time I tried that, the change was lost after playing a different list...
After changing the playlist by adding a song it becomes a "new" playlist. By saving it (sic) you save the changes (as the same playlist). Did you save it??
How can I prevent amarok from hiding my playlists near the bottom whenever I start it up?
Do you mean down the bottom of the left-hand side?
Yes, indeed, that's what I mean.
From the menu bar -> View -> unselect "Lock layout". Top of the left-hand pane - double-click on the Home icon - double-click on Playlists - make your choice (dynamic, saved etc). From the menu bar -> View -> select "Lock layout".
And is there a way to enable it to share the audio device with other apps (mplayer, firefox,...).
I don't understand why you'd want to use Amarok to share the audio device... What "audio device" - the sound card?? Your mp3 player??
Yes, the soundard. Or my USB speakers
What sound system are you using - ALSA, JACK, OSS??
Alsa, I think... (hard to doublecheck though, as I didn't found the place where this is set in GUI)
This is the second posting of this story. The first claimed "even BillG was impressed" (and linked to something that didn't have any such statement from BillG). If you are logged in you get to see the stories before they are selected.
Noticed the same - but, check the video. Standing ovation = clap. Looks a lot like those old Australian Countdown Pop music shows where the sign above the stage tells the audience what to do. Watch the audience in some of them - tipping point in action:-)
Slashdot Mirror
Yes, that's what I mean
