There used to be an amarok package for Debian: https://wiki.debian.org/Amarok and yet, if you visit that page and follow the link, the package seems to be gone.

There used to be an amarok package for Debian:

and yet, if you visit that page and follow the link, the package seems to be gone. And when I
apt search amarok
- I find nothing (on Devuan Deadalus, i.e. ~= Debian 12.0).
Was it removed from Debian? Or just abandoned? And - how do people typically install amarok on Debian these days?

Why does amarok emit gobs and gobs of "QGLContext::makeCurrent(): Cannot make invalid context current"?
When I start amarok on my Linux Mint 18.2 (edit: and on my Devuan ASCII), I get a huge flow of QGLContext::makeCurrent(): Cannot make invalid context current on stderr. Why could that be? Can I avoid it somehow without shutting amarok down? Note: I have both on-board Intel graphics (which I actually...

on stderr. Why could that be? Can I avoid it somehow without shutting amarok down?
Note: I have both on-board Intel graphics (which I actually use for my X server) and an nVIDIA GTX 650 card (which I use for compute work).

Listen the track at faster speed in Amarok
I want to listen to my audio/track at 2x speed than usual but I'm unable to find any option to make it happen in the Amarok player. Is there any way to do it either with the Amarok player or from the terminal? I am using Opensuse 13.2 OS and Amarok Version 2.8.0 Using KDE 4.14.9

How do you make Amarok skip video files when scanning your library?
I use Amarok as a music player; and it scans a bunch of folders of mine for files to include in its catalog. The thing is, some of these folders have video, rather than audio, files in them. These files have audio tracks - but I don't want the added to my catalog/library. Can I do that somehow? Note...

Can I do that somehow?
Note: I don't mind if I miss, say, files which are video clips of songs - I'm willing to tak some "false positives" in filtering videos out.

amarok displays wrong time for ogg files
I am running Amarok 2.5.0 on Fedora 16 and it is displaying the wrong time (zero or a very large number) instead of the actual duration of the song, for all ogg audio files. Is there a way to fix this issue?

I want to use Amarok to transfer my audio files to my cellphone (Android). Amarok allows transfer files using only USB drives. Then, I though in mount my cellphone using ssh or sshfs. At the moment, I can mount the content of my mobile in a folder but Amarok only detects USB flash drives. What can I do that Amarok transfers my files through ssh or sshfs? I believe that mount the folder obtained with sshfs as a "USB flash drive" could work, but I am not sure if it's the correct way (and I don't know how to do that too).

How to disable playlist song hover info in Amarok?
Anyone know how to disable this annoying hover info in Amarok 2.4? I browsed through all the options (not that there is much of them), but couldn't find how to turn that feature off... It's getting in the way when hovering over songs with your mouse and really is not necessary. Thank you.
