Hi Alexander.

Are you using a file manager app to look for them? Because files beginning with a . are hidden. So you need to turn that on to see them. I can't find a way to do that right now. :-(

SSH via Terminal... Using Linux private and professional since 2006. The directories are not there and manually creating the two directories mentioned does NOT do the trick - unfortunately. I need something to put in there perhaps? I don't know how the directories went away but they are gone! It must be a bug but I cant find any relating. Will you help me futher investigate? A phone without being able to listen to music suxx bad - it is what i have been using it for mostly.

But use the Go to function in the right upper menu, and go to '/home/phablet/.config/' and maneuver regularly from there.


Thank you for your idea but it does not help me. Can you or ANYBODY send me your files from the "~/.config/com.ubuntu.music/" directory? And perhaps also from "~/.local/share/com.ubuntu.music/" ?

Thak you so much! It would help me to move forward.

Alexander


Good luck!

    The directories you mentioned do not exist on my phone?!? I
    uninstalled the app and installed it again. Same issue and the
    directories still don't exist. Perhaps somehow they went away and
    the app does not check on first run because it comes installed as
    default?

    How can I manually create those directories and put into them what
    the app expects to be starting? Can somebody with a Aquaris 5 just
    send me the contents of those two directories from his phone so i
    can see what happens? Seems the way forward or are there other ideas?

    Cheers Alexander

    Hi Alexander,

    Firstly I'm sorry to hear that you are having this bad experience
    and hope we can resolve the issue.

    The locations that the music app stores configuration files are
    as follows:
    ~/.config/com.ubuntu.music/          (for general settings)
    ~/.local/share/com.ubuntu.music/   (for databases of your playlists)

    This issue could be due to a stale lock file bug [0], I would be
    interested to know if there are any files ending .lock in those
    directories (if there are try deleting just the .lock files and
    relaunching the app).

    Otherwise try deleting all the files in the directories to see if
    the app launches correctly (in this case it might be useful to
    take a copy of the files so we can debug later).

    Let me know if you need additional help removing the relevant files.

    Thanks,

    Andrew

        Hello folks!

        The Music App refuses to start past the load screen and just
        shuts down. Aquaris E5, OTA 11.

        I would like to try and delete all its settings and files and
        have it re-initialise to see if it helps, but I can't seem to
        find all the files.

        Can somebody please point me in the right direction?

        Cheers,

        Alexander
