i'm willing to help you figure that out, but you've got to give me more than 
an instruction which results in the following:

Service 'org.kde.amarok' does not exist.

but that's the thing... if there is no indication of a problem using qdbus, 
but the GUI doesn't show up on my screen, there's a problem. it may not be a 
problem with amarok, but there is definitely a problem.

i have had very few problems with amarok, and i'd like to continue being able 
to use it. i understand that the version of kubuntu i'm running is reaching 
its EOL soon, but i don't think that should mean that my software should just 
arbitrarily stop working, with the only solution being for me to wait until 
the next LTS version of the OS comes out.
