Howdi, I'm a bit clueless about some of this stuff, but I note that I'm having a few problems getting things to work, and I'm not sure which angle I should be approaching this from.
Unrelated to KDE4 - I see that starting jackd from the init.d script doesn't work for me, but running jackd with the same settings I've configured in /etc/default/jackd, as my normal login user, works. It means that when I then start kdm and login, though, kde4 believes I have no audio device. Obviously this isn't good. If I don't run jackd before starting kde, then kde is fine, but running qjackctl fails to launch jackd. lsof suggests that knotify4 and plasma are both using/locking the alsa device. They hint that it's a gstreamer thing (but I thought *that* was a gnome product) and not something for us. Trying to remove gstreamer (apt-get) reveals that it is in fact an integral part of kde4. I gather phonon is meant to make all these problems disappear, but also suspect that, as per previous attempts to make problems disappear there is a period of extra pain while new problems are experienced, and I have this nasty suspicion that's where we're at now. If some kind soul could point me in the right direction here I'd be hugely appreciative. All I really want is to be able to use various software synths (amsynth (works okay with alsa), traverso (needs jack AFAICT), and some of the dssi apps). taa, Jedd. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
