Unable to start Amarok


I am unable to start amarok. When starting from the console the splash screen will come up for about 5 seconds and then disappear with the following messages being shown on the terminal.

Thanks for your help.

Amarok seems to have a problem with your collection database. I would temporarily move the collection.db file from your /home/username/.kde/share/apps/amarok folder to another location and then start amarok up again.
