[Bug 290864] [NEW] music player detection broken in amarok after upgrade to Intrepid

[Robert Persson]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: amarok

Bug in KDE, manifesting in Amarok 1.4.10 after upgrade to Intrepid (i.e.
Ubuntu, not Kubuntu).

After upgrading to Intrepid, Amarok stopped being able to detect my
music player. When it tries to autodetect it, it gets the message:

"No new media devices were found. If you feel this is an error, ensure
that the DBUS and HAL daemons are running and KDE was built with support
for them. You can test this by running "dcop kded mediamanager fullList"
in a Konsole window."

When I try to run the above dcop command in a gnome-terminal the output
is "failed".

However Gnome seems to have no trouble detecting the device because an
ipod-like icon appears on the Desktop very soon after I plug it in.

What ought to happen:
Amarok should be able to detect and use music players as it could in Hardy, even when it has not been launched from within KDE.
