You might have to run updatedb before locate finds amarok.  The locate
command consults a a local database of the contents of your system--it
doesn't consult the system itself.  The updatedb command updates the
local database by trawling through your filesystem and keeping track
of all the names it finds.  Most systems have a nightly or weekly task
that runs updatedb out of cron, so if you get this tomorrow, you might
not have to run updatedb before running locate.
