Hi there,
There have been a few users reporting that kded4 crashes when starting
Amarok 2. This is caused by conflicting global shortcuts with the same
shortcut sequence, and has been fixed in KDE 4 trunk
(http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=171870). You can fix this by
following these steps:
1. Quit Amarok.
2. Kill kded4 (if it hasn't already crashed), killall -9 kded4
3. edit ~/.kde4/share/config/kglobalshortcutsrc
4. find the [amarok] section
5. remove the lines which start with:
addMedia
seekForward
seekBackward
previousTrack
nextTrack
Toggle Main Window
muteVolume
play-pause
showOSD
6. start `kded4`
7. Amarok should now start without crashing kded4
This is a one time fix and does not need to be reapplied, unless you
missed removing a duplicate shortcut mapping.
