Perhaps someone who knows the silly ins and outs of KDE can explain exactly what I need to do to correct the Alzheimer's my KDE 2.2.1 is suffering from?
Mandrake 8.1, kernel-2.4.8-34 and 2.4.17. If I totally wipe out my .kde directory plus ALL my entries in /tmp, all my ~/.DCOP-* and ~/tmp/ksocket-* and any and all kde-related socket, server, etc crap files and reboot I can get my sound working. If I make any changes to the soundserver via kcontrol after starting kde after this, however, artsd crashes with a cpu overload message and messages in .xsession-errors abot being unable to connect to the dcopserver, etc. Rebooting after this, restarting X and re-logging in - nothing works to get sound back except a new, fresh wipeout of all my kde configs. It is about to drive me off KDE and into the arms of Gnome or Enlightenment. What does one have to do to get the goddamn artsd retard-daemon to obtain a clue about itself and actually do its job? How does one get sound back short of having to wipe out all kde settings plus any and all kde-socket/daemon files? praedor __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
