i am having trouble getting system sounds to work, they appear to be configured and the arts server set to start at start-up. playing in xmms and noatun works fine, investigating shows that when i run artsd from a console i get: [artsd] ** Warning ** unix_connect: can't connect to server (unix:/tmp/mcop-root/mycroft_excession-0dca-3b193bfe) There are already artsd objects registered, looking if they are active... [artsd] ** Warning ** unix_connect: can't connect to server (unix:/tmp/mcop-root/mycroft_excession-0dca-3b193bfe) [artsd] ** Warning ** unix_connect: can't connect to server (unix:/tmp/mcop-root/mycroft_excession-0dca-3b193bfe) [artsd] ** Warning ** unix_connect: can't connect to server (unix:/tmp/mcop-root/mycroft_excession-0dca-3b193bfe) [artsd] ** Warning ** unix_connect: can't connect to server (unix:/tmp/mcop-root/mycroft_excession-0dca-3b193bfe) ... cleaned 4 unused mcop global references. [artsd] suspend : it would seem clear that there is a problem, if i try to run arts control i get the error 'check to see if artsd is really running, and that kdelibs is not an ealier version then kdemultimedia', the latter is not true so i guess the message just tells me what i already know, but i can't find anything in the archives referencing this problem. quite a few people having a problem with system sounds but no solutions that seem to bear on my situation, i have noticed that alsa doesn't appear to run from the control center>services dialogue, when i run this it is shown as stopped even though it is set to run at boot, is this relevant, i have always been confused about the difference between 'alsa' and 'sound' services at boot up, do i need both or just one? some clarification would be gratefully received bascule
