As usual, KDE DCOP strokes out on a new login/restart. Doesn't matter if I shut down normally or not, upon the next startup here we go again...and of course artsd is broken too. It frickin' refuses to work at better than every so once in a while. I am running KDE 2.2.2 on Mandrake 8.1. Here are the excerpts from my .xsession-errors file:
For DCOP: Loading required GL library /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2.030402 Creating link /home/praedor/.kde/socket-d152-159. Created link from "/home/praedor/.kde/socket-d152-159" to "/tmp/ksocket-praedor" DCOPServer up and running. Loading required GL library /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2.030402 Loading required GL library /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2.030402 kdeinit: Shutting down running client. kio (KLauncher): ERROR: KLauncher: KDEInit communication error! Commiting suicide! DCOP aborting (delayed) call from 'kded' to 'klauncher' --------------------------------- It looks like dcopserver is already running. If you are sure that it is not already running, remove /home/praedor/.DCOPserver_d152-159_:0 and start dcopserver again. --------------------------------- And here's artsd. Doesn't matter if I remove all mcop, .DCOP, ~/.kde/socket-* nonsense, artsd will not work. It DID work yesterday and nothing has changed since then. It turns out to be hit or miss with artsd: warning: leaving MCOP Dispatcher and still 9 object references alive. - Arts::SampleStorage - Arts::Synth_MULTI_ADD - Arts::Synth_MULTI_ADD - Arts::Synth_PLAY - Arts::StereoVolumeControl - Arts::StereoEffectStack - Arts::Synth_BUS_DOWNLINK - Arts::SoundServerV2 - Arts::MidiManager warning: leaving MCOP Dispatcher and still 69 types alive. sound server terminated sh: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching ``' sh: -c: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file Loading required GL library /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2.030402 KMixPrefDlg::apply() okay sound server terminated warning: leaving MCOP Dispatcher and still 13 object references alive. - Arts::SampleStorage - Arts::Synth_MULTI_ADD - Arts::Synth_MULTI_ADD - Arts::Synth_PLAY - Arts::StereoVolumeControl - Arts::StereoEffectStack - Arts::Synth_BUS_DOWNLINK - Arts::SoundServerV2 - Arts::AudioManagerClient - Arts::Synth_BUS_UPLINK - Arts::Synth_PLAY_WAV - Arts::Synth_AMAN_PLAY - Arts::MidiManager warning: leaving MCOP Dispatcher and still 69 types alive. Can't connect to sound server What the hell does it take to make artsd actually work all the time? What files must I destroy to make artsd work again? Restarting artsd doesn't work. The correct kernel modules are loaded and the mixer is properly setup. praedor
