After last Amarok update on Archlinux I get this error:

The name org.kde.amarok was not provided by any .service files

I can start Amarok from terminal but clicking its icon on latte-dock gives me this error.

Desktop file:

  • For a reason that I can't explain, if the command "amarok" is executed in the terminal, then the problem doesn't happen. – Eduardo Lucio Nov 04 '22 at 03:41

For some reason KDE (my case) creates an application shortcut called...

org.kde.amarok.desktop

... in the folder path...

/home/<YOUR_USER>/.local/share/applications

.

So I changed the name of this shortcut to...

Amarok.desktop

...and changed its content to...

Name=Amarok
GenericName=Audio Player
NoDisplay=false

StartupNotify=true
Terminal=false
TerminalOptions=
Type=Application
X-KDE-SubstituteUID=false
X-KDE-Username=

... and voilà!

  • Icon fixed but still clicking on icon gives me The name org.kde.amarok was not provided by any .service files – Xaqron Nov 08 '22 at 06:02
  • Check if the shortcut "Amarok.desktop" is present in the "plasma kickoff" along with the shortcut "org.kde.amarok.desktop". If so, the shortcut "org.kde.amarok.desktop" still exists somehow. ☺️ – Eduardo Lucio Nov 08 '22 at 12:38
  • @Xaqron As root (sudo su) try to rename the file org.kde.amarok.desktop -> mv "/usr/share/applications/org.kde.amarok.desktop" "/usr/share/applications/org.kde.amarok.desktop_BAK_20221111.1530.0". – Eduardo Lucio Nov 11 '22 at 18:34
