Conflicting Amarok versions under Gutsy and SuSE

[pnuts]

Hi,

I have SuSE and Kubuntu Gutsy Gibbon installed on different partitions, sharing one and the same home partition. My SuSE has an older version of Amarok that seems to write its settings to the same folder as the newer one under Kubuntu, but in a conflicting way. This causes the new Amarok to forget all its settings, including shortcuts, the current playlists and all track ratings, every time I boot SuSE (since it starts automatically). I don't use the SuSE installation a lot any more, but it happens, and I don't want this to happen every time.

Does anyone know another solution for this than uninstalling Amarok under SuSE? I suppose the easiest thing should be to tell Amarok to save its settings on a different place but I don't know if that's possible, especially since that's a setting that would probably be stored in this settings folder

My advice is don't try to share the /home between two different distributions. Instead, create a partition for your data, and mount it on /home/user/data or something similar.
