--- Comment #1 from Pedro de Carvalho Gomes <pedrogome...@gmail.com> ---
The error happens because Kubuntu 19.10 is shipped with Mysql 8. This major
Mysql version deprecated Mysql Embedded, which is the standard DB for Amarok.
You can read more about it here:
https://mysqlserverteam.com/mysql-8-0-retiring-support-for-libmysqld/
I assume the package you installed is linked with libmysqlclient, whose API is
almost exactly the same as libmysqld. If this is the case, Amarok will try to
open a socket to a local mysql standalone instead of reading the old DB from
~/.local/share/amarok/mysqle. It seems that there's no such mysql (or you can't
connect to it witout password), so you get the error.
The obvious workaround is to import the old DB to a stand-alobe mysql instance.
However, a permanent fix is harded. It depends on what Amarok team will decide
to replace Mysql embedded. I assume it will be to run a standalone mysql,
similar to Akonadi.
