http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=960461 Bug ID: 960461 Summary: nothing requires phonon4qt5-backend, without which plasma5 finds no phonon backend and plays no system sounds Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: 2015* Hardware: x86 OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE Workspace (Plasma) Assignee: opensuse-kde-bugs@opensuse.org Reporter: mrmazda@earthlink.net QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created attachment 660605 --> http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/attachment.cgi?id=660605&action=edit alsa-info.txt from host big41's TW5 installation Y2logs for big41's plasma5 installation are attached to bug 929016 I have two 64 bit TW installations on the same Intel machine. One installation has breeze* and kde-oxygen-fonts locked out, preventing plasma5 from displacing any more than necessary of plasma4. Other than the default TWM and IceWM, and KDE, no other DEs are installed on either. Sounds work normally on the "kde4" installation. On the plasma5 installation, systemsettings -> multimedia listed no playback devices or backends to choose from, and made no sounds. This was the selection of installed packages on the plasma5 installation before its system sounds started to work: alsa-1.1.0-1.1.x86_64 alsa-firmware-1.0.29-1.1.noarch alsa-oss-1.0.28-3.3.x86_64 alsa-plugins-1.1.0-2.1.x86_64 alsa-plugins-pulse-1.1.0-2.1.x86_64 alsa-utils-1.1.0-1.2.x86_64 kmix-15.08.3-1.1.x86_64 libQt5Multimedia5-5.5.1-1.1.x86_64 libphonon4-4.8.1-1.3.x86_64 libphonon4qt5-4.8.3-3.1.x86_64 libpulse-mainloop-glib0-7.1-1.1.x86_64 libpulse0-7.1-1.1.x86_64 phonon-backend-gstreamer-4.8.2-2.1.x86_64 plasma5-workspace-5.4.3-1.1.x86_64 pulseaudio-7.1-1.1.x86_64 As in the KDE4 installation, aplay --v /usr/share/sounds/alsa/test.wav produced expected output after having run set_default_volume -f 0 and adjusting levels with alsamixer. Youtube HTML5 worked as expected in both as well. Manually installing phonon4qt5-backend-gstreamer-4.8.2-2.1.x86_64 got the plasma5 sounds working. If plasma5 can't make sounds without it, something ought to require it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
