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".
I edited the file /opt/kde3/bin/startkde so that the line: LD_BIND_NOW=true kdeinit +kcminit was split into two lines: LD_BIND_NOW=true kdeinit +kcminit and I now have system sounds. Cheers Keith
