For anyone who might be interested I managed to fix my sound problems. After reading Adeodato Simo's message a few days ago about the libflac6 issue being solved, I upgraded my system. After the upgrade root had system sounds working again but normal users did not. I finally managed to get system sounds back for normal users by opening ~/.kde/share/config and deleting two files: knotify.eventsrc and knotifyrc. When I restarted kde these two files were regenerated and all system notification sounds were restored. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
