Amarok won't launch, and is crashing with MySQLe something failed! on library initialization failed, return code 1.

To fix this, you need to rebuild libssh with gnutls (libgcrypt) [a]. Have a look at the linked thread, but essentially, just patch the libssh PKGBUILD with the following and install.

Looks like a new version of amarok 2.9.70 will be released soon.

Downgrade libssh to 0.8.2 version helps me.

kifuna commented on 2018-09-22 14:56 (UTC)

This error is most likely related to this: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/59719. I tried to compile libssh with DWITH_GCRYPT=ON (as was the case for version 0.8.2) and amarok starts normally again. Is there maybe another option to circumvent this issue?

After arch update 22.09.18 old version amarok show error on start.

Message: "The Amarok database reported the following errors: MySQLe something failed! on library initialization failed, return code 1 In most cases you will need to resolve these errors before Amarok will run properly."

I build this version but still see error.

Am I the only one getting "MySQLe something failed! on library initialization failed, return code 1" since today’s updates?

Rhinoceros commented on 2018-09-09 03:59 (UTC)

Yeah fair enough. That all makes sense. Thanks for the update!

Yes, I was divided also, however to build the stable version you need the qt4 dependencies which have conflicts which their qt5 counterpart, so if you want to build the build the amarok 2.9 (qt4) you will need to downgrade the qt5 packages to qt4 to work. I guess that once amarok release the new version it will be included again in community or extra repository, but until the dependencies are in qt4 is not viable.

If you found a way to build it without conflicts with the last releases of qt5 or installing qt4 without issues, please let me know and I'll fix the package.

With the current version of qt5 you are not able to install amarok 2.9.0 or earlier, and if you have installed amarok surely is the version 2.9.0.git20180816 which already includes the support to qt5 but is still in pre-alpha.

https://community.kde.org/Amarok/Development/KF5port https://community.kde.org/Amarok/Development/KF5port/Status

For now, I prefer to use the development version which has already ported a lot to KF5 instead of downgrade a lot of libraries.

Hey frealgagu, I see that you updated the PKGBUILD to the next, pre-alpha version of amarok. I had some issues when the official repos updated it to this version too [a]. Basically, I'm not sure that this is the best idea, because several things are broken in this version. It's not the stable version, so perhaps this should be left for amarok-git. However, I get that the stable version is difficult to build because of it needs qca-qt4 to make, so I'm partially divided. Is there an easy way to build the current stable version instead?
