--- Comment #3 from Pedro de Carvalho Gomes <pedrogome...@gmail.com> --- The following command starts a mysql server with your old Amarok DB that is accessible only via socket (notice that paths my vary): /usr/sbin/mysqld --defaults-file=/home/your_user/.local/share/amarok/my.cnf --datadir=/home/your_user/.kde/share/apps/amarok/mysqle --socket=/run/user/1000/akonadi/default/mysql-amarok.socket --pid-file=/run/user/1000/akonadi/default/mysql-amarok.pid --skip-networking --skip_grant_tables You may test connection with the command below: mysql --socket=/run/user/1000/akonadi/default/mysql-amarok.socket Add the following command to your .my.cnf file in your home directory (/home/your_user/.my.cnf in this example): [client] socket=/run/user/1000/akonadi/default/mysql-amarok.socket Now Amarok should be able to connect to the old DB and run as before -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
