[newbie] tip for sound using KDE ArtsD
I've had instances of XMMS crashing off & on. No big deal. Problem: it crashes and you Skull & Xbones the bugger. (Kill it with CTRL-ESC), then try killing all the sound processes. fine. restart xmms, but it doesn't play or there is no sound yet its playing. K so now what? Well one of my lovers told me to go into the KDE Control centre... in there find your sound settings...its the first one under "SOUND". now change something. I usually enable Network sound stuff... hit apply. now uncheck it again & hit apply. you can now restart xmms & the sound server *arts* will restart automatically. voila! sound! odd workaround but shrugs... it works.

I looked at the LN Site but don't remember seeing anything there for XP specific questions...its rather outdated. :| how can I find out how to access the laptop??
