Hi,

I'm running KDE 3.5.3 on a SUSE 9.3 box. Everytime I log in I've got 2 running arts daemons, and if I have a look in my .xsession-errors file I get the error that an artsd is already running blablablah....

Is it possible to disable artsd entirely? And what is the result? AFAIK all KDE notifications will be disabled... or not?

Regards Harry

Hello Harry, this is because of patch #8 "arts-start-on-demand.diff" in arts. But actually this patch should not be aktiv for SuSE 9.3 . So, download the arts.src from http://software.opensuse.org/download/KDE:/KDE3/SUSE_Linux_9.3/src/ install the src as root with rpm -i arts-1.5.3-5.2.src.rpm Then edit the /usr/src/packages/SPECS/arts.spec this way ... Change the Release from 5.2 to, let´s say, 5.5 Remove the Line <Patch8: arts-start-on-demand.diff> Remove the Line <%patch8> Save and exit Then rebuild the package with rpmbuild -bb /usr/src/packages/SPECS/arts.spec after building, upgrade the new packages with rpm -Uhv /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i586/arts* This should solve your Prob for now, but take care by this version at the next KDE upgrade ;-) Greets Michael aRts starts in multiple instances https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=178930
