After a tortuous installation of KDE 3.2 on a 9.0 system, I've encountered, among others, a nasty problem with arts. It started when I logged in after installation and got a box with this message: During the previous startup, KNotify crashed while instantiating KNotify. Do you want to try again or disable aRts sound output? I could not get past that except by disabling aRts, and now I have no sound. The detailed traceback was: [New Thread 16384 (LWP 20047)] 0x4129bfd6 in waitpid () from /lib/libpthread.so.0 #0 0x4129bfd6 in waitpid () from /lib/libpthread.so.0 #1 0x407b4a7a in KCrash::defaultCrashHandler(int) () from /opt/kde3/lib/libkdecore.so.4 #2 0x4129abb1 in __pthread_sighandler () from /lib/libpthread.so.0 #3 <signal handler called> #4 0x415ff975 in KAudioManagerPlay::KAudioManagerPlay(KArtsServer*, QString const&) () from /opt/kde3/lib/libartskde.so.1 #5 0x415bf221 in KNotify::restartedArtsd() () from /opt/kde3/lib/kde3/knotify.so #6 0x415bb5a8 in KNotify::KNotify(bool) () from /opt/kde3/lib/kde3/knotify.so #7 0x415bab80 in kdemain () from /opt/kde3/lib/kde3/knotify.so #8 0x0804dbc9 in launch(int, char const*, char const*, char const*, int, char const*, bool, char const*, bool, char const*) () #9 0x0804eb41 in handle_launcher_request(int) () #10 0x0804f15d in handle_requests(int) () #11 0x080501b1 in main () Does anyone here know what I need to do to get my sound back?

I do know that SuSE has propragated a few new RPMs to their mirror sites. Are you running kdeaddons3-sound-3.2.0-16 ? When did you download? The new RPM kdeaddons3-sound-3.2.0-16 was only updated today.

Thanks, Bob. Assuming that the updated package fixes the problem, how do I reactivate aRts to see if it did? Paul Abrahams

If you are not running ALSA (setup with alsactl) I believe it is just kcontrol->Sound & Multimedia->Sound System->Enable Sound System If you ARE running alsa, then you have to edit /etc/modules.conf and remove the lines that say THIS IS GENERATED BY ALSACTL or something similar and remove the lines it says not to remove. You then have to reconfig your sound card in YaST2->Hardware->Sound. I have an Ensoniq ES and had to do this. Your setup may be different.

That's very interesting. I was getting my packages from kde.org, and conceivably that accounts for the fact that I've had a raft of problems. The package collection for 9.0 at kde.org has only the -12 version. Where did you find the -16 version? Paul Abrahams

ftp.leo.org is the fastest FTP mirror of ftp.suse.com I have found. Try: /pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_9.0 On either site. The base, application and development subdirectories. Do a "dir -ltr" to see the timestamps. Note: They are server local and I believe ftp.leo.org is in Munich, Germany and yes it is ** MUCH FASTER ** than ftp.suse.com. I did not do my KDE install from a kde.org mirror but from a SuSE mirror.

Hah, yes, indeed. But, just FYI, ftp.gwdg.de is the primary mirror. It has become a bit slow (> factor 10) during (European) daytime, but at night it is just between a factor 2 to 4 slower then ftp.leo.org. So still pretty good, and my favorite because it is updated more frequently than ftp.leo.org.

Talking of timestamps, a lot of the new .rpms for 9.0 are dated Jan 2003. ftp.suse.com (and the primary mirror) both get far more SuSE traffic than sites like leo.org, although expect leo.org to be very slow when a new kernel-level comes out - they are a mirror for kernel.org as well. -- opinions personal, facts suspect. http://home.arcor.de/36bit/samba.html

I finally did find it, but the installation failed because of missing dependencies: libartsbuilder.so.0 is needed by kdeaddons3-sound-3.2.0-17 libartsgui.so.0 is needed by kdeaddons3-sound-3.2.0-17 libartsgui_idl.so.0 is needed by kdeaddons3-sound-3.2.0-17 libartsgui_kde.so.0 is needed by kdeaddons3-sound-3.2.0-17 libartsmidi_idl.so.0 is needed by kdeaddons3-sound-3.2.0-17 libartsmodules.so.0 is needed by kdeaddons3-sound-3.2.0-17 libartsmodulescommon.so.0 is needed by kdeaddons3-sound-3.2.0-17 libartsmoduleseffects.so.0 is needed by kdeaddons3-sound-3.2.0-17 libartsmodulesmixers.so.0 is needed by kdeaddons3-sound-3.2.0-17 libartsmodulessynth.so.0 is needed by kdeaddons3-sound-3.2.0-17 libnoatun.so.1 is needed by kdeaddons3-sound-3.2.0-17 libnoatunarts.so is needed by kdeaddons3-sound-3.2.0-17 libnoatuncontrols.so.1 is needed by kdeaddons3-sound-3.2.0-17 libnoatuntags.so.1 is needed by kdeaddons3-sound-3.2.0-17 Any idea where those files might be found?
