Hi all!<br><br>I've got to admit, I am fairly new to the world of Linux and my problem might therefore be less strange than I think.<br><br>Basically, Amarok seems to have lost all information stored in the database (score, playcount, everything...), although the file is still where it was (and still seems to contain all data)
<br>New changes are stored fine though.(that is, playcount is updated just fine, but from scratch)<br><br><span style="text-decoration: underline;">what i did to cause the problem:</span><br><br>I've recently moved my whole /home directory from one partition (formerly sdb3, mounted as /home) to another (sdb4, now mounted as /home)
<br><br>sdb3 doesn't exist anymore (sdb=sdb1,sdb2,sdb4)<br><br><br>I copied the whole thing with<br>cp -r -p source dest<br><br>Well, i did it piece by piece (because i couldnt move the whole thing at once), resizing both partititons in between (enlarging sdb4, shrinking sdb3)
<br><br>Everything worked find, except for the database in amarok problem. (that is every other configuration, data just worked when i mounted sdb3 as /home and rebooted)<br><br>The database seems as if it were fresh(collection.db
is 8MB large), new things are added fine(and collection.db is modified when that happens).<br><br>I then reinstated a backup of mine (i made a backup before messing with my partitions). <br>So I restored /.kde/share/apps/amarok and /.kde/share/config/amarokrc to their backup-state.
<br><br>It didnt help though, all it does is reset every new changes to the database since the problem occured (logically), and i start with a "fresh" database again.<br>I didnt get back my old scores/playcounts/etc, unfortunately.
