I managed to download the python-dbus package.
Do know know from where I can obtain the dcop-client? Or is dcop-client=python-dcop. If so I already know where to get it too.
Thanks,
Fred

With my old pc and a new kubuntu the script runs without problems.
Maybe on the other kubuntu-system is the wrong config or some trouble with the packages, because it's a upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04!
I will give you some response, if the script works again and if i know where is the problem!

Interestingly I had a previous version of your script
57893-awn-amarok-minsec.amarokscript.tar
and it works great. Line 60 creates the problem

In bash: pidof amarokapp returns 2 pids, so I killed them (kill -n 9 PID) and it helps.
psicus78: may be, you should check in your code, if amarokpid does not contains space, and show to user solution.

but in fact this feature let me find a bug: when you close amarok instead of minimize it (so that it remains in the systray but not in the taskbar), the icon stop refreshing (time stop, title and cover don't get refreshed)

thx for the update!
Is there any chance for an option not to see the time remaining but rather just the album cover? it would be much appriciated!
Thx

As a quick fix to remove the time, just edit awn-amarok-minsec.py and comment the lines:
awn.SetInfoByName(str(task),str(minutes)+':'+string.zfill(secs,2))
(around line 119 you should also add command after "if alternate:" or remove it)
Greg.

Thanks, and keep up with any upgrades in the future!
