HowTo: Install the newest Amarok in Gnome

**Athanasius** · July 23rd, 2006

I don't know about other people but I can't stand Rhythm Box and the version of Amarok in the repositories is old so here is the new one from the Kubuntu website.

open your ect/apt/sources.list

sudo gedit /ect/apt/sources.list

add this line at the end and save:

deb http://kubuntu.org/packages/amarok-141 dapper main

then open terminal and type:

wget http://people.ubuntu.com/~jriddell/k...iddell-key.gpg
sudo apt-key add kubuntu-packages-jriddell-key.gpg

then type:

sudo apt-get update

then type:

sudo apt-get install amarok

That should be it. If anyone has any corrections please let me know

Hi, thanks for the HowTo.

There's a typo here, though : )

sudo gedit /ect/apt/sources.list

Furthermore, there seems to be another problem.

1. in terminal, sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
2. add "deb http://kubuntu.org/packages/amarok-145 edgy main" (then save)
3. in terminal, wget http://people.ubuntu.com/~jriddell/kubuntu-packages-jriddell-key.gpg
sudo apt-key add kubuntu-packages-jriddell-key.gpg
4. apt-get update
5. apt-get install amarok amarok-engines
(5 optional) sudo apt-get install amarok
