The only problem I have found since upgrading SUSE9.2 to KDE3.4 is that I have lost the system sounds, but I can play CDs. I am wondering if this is tied up with the ALSA sound error message.
No, it is an arts problem. Try rebuilding the arts src.rpm and install the resulting rpms, i.e. rpmbuild --rebuild --target=<your target arch> arts*src.rpm (or replace * with full name) as root, the rpms will be in /usr/src/packages/RPMS/<your arch>
Sorry, Joe, but I can't get this to work!
If I try reinstalling the original RPM off the 9.2 DVD, to replace the latest version (which 3.4 needs), it insists on downgrading most of KDE back to 3.3.
Trying your method of rebuilding the arts source from the DVD, tells me it needs about 30 dependences sorting out. Having spent ages sorting the dependences, the arts source won't build.
But I may be doing something very wrong with the rebuilding.
I have checked .kde/knotifyrc and that is correct with everything set to "true".
So I appear to have the choice of either 3.4 and no system sounds, or 3.3 with system sounds. That is, unless you or anyone else has another suggestion, please.
Has no-one else had these sound problems upgrading SUSE9.2 to 3.4?
Any further advice will be very much appreciated.
Thanks
Keith
Hi Keith. open: /opt/kde3/bin/startkde locate the incorrect line that reads: "LD_BIND_NOW=true kdeinit +kcminit" edit the line so that it's separated into two different lines: LD_BIND_NOW=true kdeinit +kcminit This fixed KDE sounds for me when rebuilding the RPM's from scratch didn't work.
