Wierd... this has never worked for me, this is my second Arch install... Is there something i need to install to get this working?
Comment by Robin Heggelund Hansen (Skinney) - Saturday, 18 August 2007, 22:28 GMT
well, i just tested the Mercury im and it can retrieve the song information from Amarok, and as far as i know it uses dcop to do so... How does kopete do this?
Comment by Damir Perisa (damir.perisa) - Monday, 20 August 2007, 20:33 GMT
i don't know exactly how kopete does it

but now on my new laptop i have x86_64 arch installed and i have the same problem as you have. kopete does not show anything about any song played in amarok. either i'm missing a runtime-dependency for this on my new machine or it is x86_64 related. do you use arch or arch64?
Comment by Robin Heggelund Hansen (Skinney) - Tuesday, 21 August 2007, 08:15 GMT
i use Arch(32-bit) so it has to be a runtime dependency...

kopete_nowlistening.so depends on libxmms.so.1
Installing xmms package solved this problem for me.
Comment by Damir Perisa (damir.perisa) - Tuesday, 02 October 2007, 13:32 GMT
thanx a lot David for this info!

LOL ... so you need to have xmms installed to have kopete have the now listening plugin working? i think this is an upstream architectural bug.
Comment by Robin Heggelund Hansen (Skinney) - Tuesday, 02 October 2007, 13:38 GMT
This did fix the problem?

Maybe future builds of kdenetwork could include libxmms.so.1?

> Maybe future builds of kdenetwork could include libxmms.so.1?
No way! This is absolutely cruel. :P
Comment by Damir Perisa (damir.perisa) - Tuesday, 02 October 2007, 13:49 GMT
it fixed it for me on my 64 machine by installing xmms and restarting kopete

no, but can we not build kdenetwork without xmms support?
Comment by Roman Kyrylych (Romashka) - Tuesday, 02 October 2007, 13:56 GMT
Won't this require installing xmms and gtk1 and all other depends at build environment just to get one broken-by-design plugin working?
This might break something so that some KDE app will _require_ xmms to start.
I'm happy that KDE doesn't depend on xmms/gtk1 now, let's not break it, please. ;-)

What if Pacman gives the user a message that if (s)he wants kopete to display song information (s)he has to install xmms?
Comment by Damir Perisa (damir.perisa) - Tuesday, 02 October 2007, 14:01 GMT
well... some parts (kopete_nowlistening.so) obviously do depend on xmms pkg to work.

i would suggest to remove this dependencies if possible. xmms was really great 8 years ago... but now when you use kde, you are probably using some of the other options (that is, if you are not nostalgic on software *smile*)

reassigning this bug to kdenetwork person - has nothing to do with amarok
Comment by Damir Perisa (damir.perisa) - Tuesday, 02 October 2007, 14:02 GMT
ah... it is already :)
Comment by Tobias Powalowski (tpowa) - Sunday, 07 October 2007, 07:59 GMT
xmms is a runtime depend in kdenetwork
