Howto install amarok 1.4 in Ubuntu Jaunty
Sponsored Link
First you need to edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
Add the following lines
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/bogdanb/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/bogdanb/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
Save and exit the file
Add GPG key using the following command
sudo apt-key adv
--recv-keys--keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 0xb9f1c432ae74ae63
Update source list using the following command
sudo apt-get update
Now if you have amarok 2 remove using the following command
sudo apt-get remove amarok
Install amarok 1.4 using the following command
sudo apt-get install amarok14
That's it now you have installed amarok 1.4
The GPG Key part code seems to be not properly formatted..
sudo apt-key adv –recv-keys –keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 0×1d7e9dd033e89ba781e32a24b9f1c432ae74ae63
Can you please tell us the correct Code one or the GUI Alternative…
Thanks,

I also cannot use the apt-key as listed. Please help.
This one appears to work:
sudo apt-key adv
--recv-keys--keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 0xb9f1c432ae74ae63@ bijay rungta
go to this page:
http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xB9F1C432AE74AE63
copy the whole text and paste it into an empty file.
then go to system -> administration -> software sources.
click on authentication tab -> import key file.
select the file you just saved.
update your sources.
Edit:
actually just copy this part:

Hi guys…
Thanks for the Responses…
As mentioned by Jeffrey the following worked for me..
sudo apt-key adv
--recv-keys--keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 0xb9f1c432ae74ae63Check at the pastebin to avoid any error…

Also, Its strange I was able to install amarok14 without the Authentication…
Wondering is that a different package that was installed in my machine…
How do I verify??

Cool. Thanks for sharing. I couldn’t get the new amerok to work, but 1.4 works like a charm.
Thank you! I’ve been wanting this for a while. You’re a lifesaver.
Another great howto. Thanks so much!
Thank you so much! Amarok 2 has done nothing but give me problems and made me wish for dropped features, but now I have my old Amarok back! Thanks!
Fantastic, it worked for me. Thank you very much.
I have stopped playing music in my Ubuntu machine because I couldn’t deal with the interface of Amarok 2. It was just
How did it happen that such a good program did so badly on its big upgrade?
Gracias, me funciono muy bien
THX.
Hi! Everything works fine, but some time ago my Amarok stopped playing mp3 files… I do not know what’s the problem.
Beautiful!!! I loved Amarok, but they just killed the poor thing (bloated to death) in version 2. I’ve been using Rhythmbox and suffering through it’s podcast problems … it will be so nice to have a working, full-featured (podcasts, music library, etc) music player again.
Thanks man!!! this worked like a charm^_^
@ Pete Nelson – rythmbox is a real pain in the ass… i actually started coding my personal media player, now that amarok is baq i can rest a bit and think bout nice features for it
I fixed my problem with deleting /home/user/.xine/
Can you update this for Karmic? That PPA doesn’t contain any karmic .debs.
@ Whorider
Worked just fine for me in Karmic?
There is a Karmic repository for all things KDE3 (including Amarok 1.4!) here: https://launchpad.net/~kde3-maintainers/+archive/ppa
Simply install amarok-kde3.
in Karmic I had to run:
sudo aptitude purge amarok amarok-utils
before it would fully install.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! GOSH I LOVE AMAROK1.4!!! (version 2 stiks -_- )
Now, if someone could come up with a way for Amarok 1.4 Handbook to be accessible from the F1 key or the Help menu while running in Gnome. Better yet, how about a version of Amarok that is ported to Gnome and uses the Gnome “Yelp” help browser? I’ve tried various media players available for Linux and they all fall short of Winamp 2.78 on Windows, and that program was released about 10 years ago! Pathetic.
Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you are my personal hero now XD
