K3B - unable to load KCDDB configuration module

[lostnforest]

In settings/ CDDB Audio CD Info Retrieval/ I have the following message 'Unable to load KCDDB configuration module'

I have never been able to get this to work. I'm using Kubuntu 10.10 with KDE 4.5.5

Can anyone tell me what I could've done wrong when I set this up or is this a bug in K3B?

Re: K3B - unable to load KCDDB configuration module

Do you have the package: libkcddb4 ?

CDDB library for KDE (runtime)

The KDE Compact Disc DataBase library provides an API for KDE applications to fetch and submit audio CD information over the internet.

This package also includes libKCompactDisc, which provides and API for handling audio CDs.

This package is part of the KDE multimedia module.

If you have the package - do you get an error message if you try to launch the KCDDB from the konsole. Command:

kcmshell4 libkcddb

:~$ kcmshell4 --help
Usage: kcmshell4 [Qt-options] [KDE-options] [options] module

A tool to start single KDE control modules

:~$ kcmshell4 --list | grep CDDB

Check for package 'kde-config-cddb'

That's where the module should be on 4.6 natty, not sure about maverick

The "libkcddb.desktop" is part of the package kde-config-cddb. Do you have it ?
