I just installed this yesterday on my T42 Ubuntu 8.04 running both
Gnome and the KDE4 windows managers. I added the same repo as you and
added the amarok-kde4 app and its dependencies. Install went fine and
I'm able to load Amarok2 without any errors. Haven't added my music
collection yet, so I don't know if that will cause any problems. I'm
just beginning to test right now. So far I like what I've seen.
