Been using Jaunty since it came out. Loving the speed, simplicity and estatics!!
Everything works well except for Amarok 2 which ships default with Jaunty. I’ve been an Amarok 1.4 user for a long time now, moving to Amarok 2 is not something I fancy doing right now. Fortunately getting Amarok 1.4 onto Ubuntu is easy. Here’s how;
Create a new source file in “/etc/apt/sources.list.d/” and call it “amarok14.list”.
root@jackal:/# touch /etc/apt/sources.list.d/amarok14.list
Add these 2 lines to the source file. You can either copy & paste or run the echo command seen below.
deb <a class="linkification-ext" title="Linkification: http://ppa.launchpad.net/bogdanb/ppa/ubuntu" href="http://ppa.launchpad.net/bogdanb/ppa/ubuntu">http://ppa.launchpad.net/bogdanb/ppa/ubuntu</a> jaunty main<br /> deb-src <a class="linkification-ext" title="Linkification: http://ppa.launchpad.net/bogdanb/ppa/ubuntu" href="http://ppa.launchpad.net/bogdanb/ppa/ubuntu">http://ppa.launchpad.net/bogdanb/ppa/ubuntu</a> jaunty main
root@jackal:/# echo "deb <a class="linkification-ext" title="Linkification: http://ppa.launchpad.net/bogdanb/ppa/ubuntu" href="http://ppa.launchpad.net/bogdanb/ppa/ubuntu">http://ppa.launchpad.net/bogdanb/ppa/ubuntu</a> jaunty main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/amarok14.list<br /> root@jackal:/# echo "deb-src <a class="linkification-ext" title="Linkification: http://ppa.launchpad.net/bogdanb/ppa/ubuntu" href="http://ppa.launchpad.net/bogdanb/ppa/ubuntu">http://ppa.launchpad.net/bogdanb/ppa/ubuntu</a> jaunty main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/amarok14.list
Make sure to register the PPA GPG key.
root@jackal:/# sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 0x1d7e9dd033e89ba781e32a24b9f1c432ae74ae63
Update your sources.
root@jackal:/# apt-get update
Remove any old instance of Amarok
root@jackal:/# apt-get remove amarok
Install Amarok 1.4
root@jackal:/# apt-get install amarok14
That’s it. Buzz me if it doesn’t work.
