Amarok on other Desktops and Operating Systems: Amarok on Non-KDE desktops - Insider article

completed by: coldblud

mentors: Valorie Zimmerman

Nice explanation of the Amarok build on non-KDE desktops; both how to install it, and quirks in running Amarok on Gnome, XFCE, Fluxbox, Enlightenment and LXDE (if it's possible, of course).  Requires some HTML markup, as well as screenshots for illustrating the text. Installing Amarok on non-KDE desktops is required of course. Post your article here: http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Community/Insider_16

 

Looks like Amarok will install on Enlightenment: http://i486.net/2010/11/21/enlightenment-e17-on-debian-etch/ , on XFCE: http://jorge.fbarr.net/2008/08/06/acer-aspire-one-tips-and-tricks/ , Fluxbox: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=142&t=11774&start=240 , LXDE: http://pclinuxos.info/2010/07/15/amarok-music-player/ . This was just some quick googling, and I hope they are helpful to you.


Please don't be distressed by the HTML that's showing -- it will be useful when it's time to put up for final publication at Amarok.kde.org/Insider. Don't waste any time using wiki markup -- just use HTML which will work in Drupal.

Please come into #amarok and #rokymotion (Freenode IRC) with questions -- even if I'm not around, they are both full of helpful, knowledgeable people.
