Hello, System is: OpenSuse 11.0 KDE 3.5.9 Amarok ist sleeping! I'm trying to tell Amarok to get a collection of 24.121 Songs and Classics in mp3 and ogg since now about two weeks! It's always the same: Amarok ist working between a night and two days an than threre is no collection! Amarok had gone without telling anything, displaying a message or error, it's just away! There is no chance to start it again! I Remember on your way to KDE 4."WhatEverItWillBe" a MS-DOS 4.0! I loved It REALLY! Does the Community of KDE think, that this is a way to get new users? Or may it be, that there are users going, and you don't think about this? Tell me about this and - PLEASE - keep the quality, that I had known about a time of about years! It was a 2.??? of KDE that I met first! Living with a new platform and knowing that bugs are normal! But after years I thought, that quality management ist a part of this software! May be that I#m wrong in this point! Over years I got people from an MS to Suse with the argument "KDE"! This time has gone for me! Show me and others a new way! I have one suggestion, because I think, that your way to the aim is OK, but not the way how you realize it! Give a chance to engaged users to test KDE 4.x beside 3.x (may be up to a 3.6 or 3.7)! But in a way where 4.x doesn't touch the 3.x in any way! Best regards Wilfried ps Sorry I#m a little bit out of use in writing English! Only speaking works better! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

It sounds like you may be using the amarok beta? 1.4... works with my collection of more than 100,000 songs (although it goes to "sleep" for long periods of time if I try to have my whole collection loaded and playing randomly.

Let me get this mini-rant out of the way and then perhaps I can give you a little help. I also am not so happy with many things about kde4 (pretty much any design choice that reminds me of the way gnome, or macintosh would force me to work) PS I apologize in advance if this offends gnome users, I do like much gnome software, just some workflow things I have no interest in getting used to. Having gotten everyone mad now I would just like to say I have faith in the kde team, I like many things about 4.1 and can see it growing. On the other hand I don't want to see development and support of kde3... go away until kde4... allows me to work the way I like. Perhaps the kde4 way is the better way, but currently I feel like this better way often requires me to use 3 or 4 mouse clicks to do something that is possible with only 1 click in kde3. And things that took up very little screen space in 3.5 often require much more space in 4.1. I always tell my daughter to use the tool that works best for her. As far as I can tell openSuSE is letting us do just that. Now to your problem. I am using kde3 and kde4.1 on suse 10.3 with no problems whatsoever, as far as I can tell. There are 1 or 2 programs that seem to have been replaced by kde4 versions but basically the system still functions as before. kde 3 and 4 keep their executables and preferences completely seperate. Just install 3.5... and be happy. I only tried to use suse 11 for about a week but it kept locking my machine up horribly so I haven't touched it since, I'll wait for 11.1 See ya -- dh --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

No, it's 1.4.91, KDE 3.5.9, Release 65.2

An additional information: It seems to be a conflict between Kaffeine (0.8.7) and Amarok. When Amarok ist running the tv-rocording in kaffeine (startes by time, not manually) ist stopped after less than a minute. Not running Amarok it's ok. I want to test this during the next days. As it may be any subprogram started by Kaffeine or Amarok I ask for a hint, what could be the best tool to test it. As I will let It run in a time when the PC is out of use, it doesn't matter how Memory (2 GB) or CPU (AMD DualCore 64) will be used. Thanks and a good week Wilfried --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
