Sound, alsactl, boot.local issue since kde 3.3

Hi, Suse 9.1, KDE 3.3, Sound card SB Live 5.1, using ALSA. Since i've updated my 9.1 to KDE 3.3 from the Suse DTP site, I have to "su" and run "alsactl restore 0" to get sound. Prior to this update to KDE it always worked fine. I've placed this command in the "/etc/init.d/boot.local" but that does not seem to do the trick. What i have done:- Run "alsamixer" to get the sound as I want it. Run "alsactl store 0" (as "su") Reboot. Run "alsactl restore 0" (as "su") and the settings are restored The "asound.state" file is - -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 42230 2004-08-27 22:43 /etc/asound.state I've also tried using "kamix" - i can set the sound for the session ok but on reboot, the settings are back to zero Any pointers would be welcome. thanks Ian

> weird, I had this problem *before* I upgraded to kde3.3 >Try kmix instead of kamix. That seems to have solved it for me. That worked a treat. Thanks. But can you control/mute the volume from the system tray icon? I can't seem to do it. The slider moves but no change, the button pressed crosses out the icon but volume is unchanged. regards Ian

Kicker broken in current KDE-3.3.0?
by Leendert Meyer 27 Aug '04

27 Aug '04

Hello all, Yesterday (17/8) I updated KDE to supplementary/KDE/update_for_9.1/. That is KDE-3.3.0, presumably a prerelease because KDE did not release 3.3.0 officially. From that moment on I have problems with kicker. 1) Upon startup only a few icons appear in the System Tray. This problem disappears temporarily after executing 'dcop kicker kicker restart'. If I start another application that would put an icon in the System Tray, I see it only after restarting kicker. 2) If I start an application (e.g. Konqueror, Knode), the Taskbar remains empty. No application button. Also this problem disappears temporarily after executing 'dcop kicker kicker restart'. If I start a new application, the application's Taskbar button does not appear until kicker is restarted. If I close an application, the application's Taskbar button does not disappear, but another button gets the focus. ---- Please note that I had no problems with the prerelease KDE-3.3.0 before 17/8. Does anybody else have these problems? Cheers, Leen

Upgrade to KDE 3.3.0 + accents
by Pablo Ortúzar 26 Aug '04

26 Aug '04

Hi, After upgrading to KDE 3.3.0 via apt dist-upgrade, I can no longer use accents in Lyx (neither in KOffice): they're now treated as letters. Instead of accents in French or Spanish words, KMail now shows two empty boxes in incoming e-mails. However, I can still type accents in OOffice and Abiword. I have not touched the keyboard settings, neither in Yast nor in KDE's Control Center. Help will be greatly appreciated. Pablo

No one have any ideas for this problem? I suppose just running a script when I login to KDE would do it but is there something built in to handle this? Thanks! >I run KDE.

install kde from ftp-server?
by Johan Ekh 25 Aug '04

25 Aug '04

Hi all! I've upgraded from SuSE 9.0 to 9.1 using an ftp-server. How can I upgrade from KDE 3.2 to 3.3 using the same ftp-server from within YaST? I've tried to change the installation source to the ftp-server but YaST does not accept the server (or maybe it is the directory on the server that is wrong, I've tried many different choices). I get the message "ERROR(Inst Src:E_noinstsrc_on_media)". Does anyone know what I have to do? If it is not possible to do what I want, could someone please tell me what is the most convenient way to keep an up to date kde installation in SuSE? Ciao, Johan

Konsole Bell Setting
by Randall R Schulz 25 Aug '04

25 Aug '04

Hi, I am unable to get Konsole to retain my setting for how to deal with the Bell (CTRL-G). Every time Konsole is restarted (upon login as part of my remembered session), the Bell setting reverts to "System Bell" and I have to manually change it, on a tab-by-tab basis, to "System Notification". I found I had the same problem with the history setting reverting from the 5000 I'd set to 1000 (possibly a default, possibly a change I had made earlier) but by editing the Konsole "rc" file ("$HOME/.kde/share/config/konsolerc"), but that technique does not seem to be working with the Bell problem. Can anyone shed some light on this? Is there a known work-around? Thanks. Randall Schulz
