I noticed one thing though: After doing an uprgade, libqt3-mt_3.3.8-b-7ubuntu3_amd64.deb was replaced with libqt3-mt_3:3.3.8-b-8ubuntu3_amd64.deb, which makes Amarok crash right after it starts. Installing the older version again everything is fine again. Is there a way to use the newer version or should I try and pin the older version of the package?
Cheers!
Totally made my day! I had to make three minor modifications though: In addition, I needed to download libfftw3-3_3.1.2-3ubuntu1_amd64.deb and libofa0_0.9.3-2ubuntu2_amd64.deb which might be somewhat related to the fact I still had amarok-utils installed for some reason… After getting rid of that hangover it just seems to be working by now, so I guess you really did it again skerit!
PERFECT!!! THANKS A LOT!!
It works perfectly on miy 32 bit Ubuntu 12.04 system. For those who wants to run amarok 1.4 on a 32 bit system, just change in the command line the ….amd64.deb on …..i386.deb and it will works.
I LOVE AMAROK 1.4, YOU SAVE MY LIFE (from pressing of my daughters….)
Thanks a million for this page. Had been holding back upgrading to 12.04 just because of lack of support to Amarok 1.4. Now finally took the plunge after going through your post. Though my system is i386 and not amd64, I still found all relevent packages and changed the commands as reqd.
I’m almost there, but ran into a problem right at the very end. After installing Amarok 1.4 as per your instructions, when I ran ‘amarok’ from the terminal to fire it, I got the following error message:
“There was an error setting up inter process communications with KDE. The message returned by the system was : Could not open network socket. Please check that the ‘dcopserver’ program is running.”
Can you please help me get over this?
Thanks in advance,
Jitesh
Thanks Skerit! Worked like a charm!

This post is a lifesaver. Not a single player available on the repo could do what Amarok 1.4 could when managing my iPods.

Works for 32bit with i386 packages (in the same directory). Thanks a lot!
