Yes, this shows up in the dmesg I pasted: tumbler0 at macobio0 offset 0x10000: irq 30,1,2 . . . audio0 at tumbler0 I presume they are in the mailing list archives? > someone with the devices with the problems needs to do more to figure > out what exactly the problem is. "lacks functional audio" is extremely > vague. does audio work otherwise? Yes, it was a bit too vague. Audio in the general sense works fine. I can play things with xmms, aucat and other applications. I tried to run aucat -l and while artsd does use the audio server, it still does strange things. When KDE first comes up, it tries to play the startup music and about .5s of music comes out, then it switches to noise (like someone sent raw binary data to the audio device). I haven't been able to do much else in the way of testing KDE because nothing else in KDE seems to be working. If I click on the K menu, there are literally no applications (even though I have plenty of KDE installed). If I try to bring up the KDE Control Center, the application never appears. Running it from an xterm actually does run it, and I get the following output: kcontrol: WARNING: No K menu group with X-KDE-BaseGroup=settings found ! Defaulting to Settings/ Which is not surprising given that there are no menus at all with any applications to speak of. There are also no options at all in kcontrol. If I try to run kmenuedit I also get strange errors: kmenuedit: WARNING: Could not read /home/luddy/.config/menus/applications-kmenuedit.menu And there is nothing in the dialog once it starts. I searched for an appliations-kmenuedit.menu in /usr/local and couldn't find one either. Is it possible I'm missing a package: kdeaddons-3.5.10p1 K Desktop Environment, addons kdeadmin-3.5.10 K Desktop Environment, admin tools kdeartwork-3.5.10p2 K Desktop Environment, additional artwork kdebase-3.5.10p2 K Desktop Environment, basic applications kdeedu-3.5.10p0 K Desktop Environment, edutainment kdegames-3.5.10p0 K Desktop Environment, games kdegraphics-3.5.10 K Desktop Environment, graphic applications kdelibs-3.5.10p0 K Desktop Environment, libraries kdemultimedia-3.5.10p1 K Desktop Environment, multimedia applications kdenetwork-3.5.10p0 K Desktop Environment, network applications kdepim-3.5.10p0 KDE personal information applications kdetoys-3.5.10 some useless KDE applications kdeutils-3.5.10p0 K Desktop Environment, utilities It seems as though either part of KDE is missing, or the user profile didn't get everything it needed when KDE went through the initial setup. But that doesn't exactly explain the noise that plays out of the login and logout KDE music.
