Bug ID: 361400
Summary: Option to disable knotify sounds when full KDE is not
installed
Product: frameworks-knotifications
Version: unspecified
Platform: Debian unstable
URL: https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2016/04/msg00050.
html
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: mklape...@kde.org
Reporter: lu...@sulweb.org
CC: kdelibs-b...@kde.org
I run Xfce and a few KDE apps, but I haven't the full KDE desktop installed.
When the KDE apps show notifications, some KDE subsystem library plays a sound
(I assume it's knotify but I'm not sure) and it raises the sound volume.
There used to be a systemsettings command that let users access sound settings
also when not running KDE, but that's not the case anymore, since the new
systemsettings5 does not offer audio configuration.
A workaround is removing read permissions to the sound files with
# chmod o-r /usr/share/sounds/KDE*
but that obviously falls short of a real solution.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Xfce and Konquest, but not the full KDE environment
2. Turn sound volume off in Xfce
3. Play konquest and look for a way to silence it
Actual Results:
Konquest plays a sound on each notification and there's no applet or command to
adjust the sound volume for it (or any other KDE app),
Expected Results:
KDE apps sould respect the sound volume set by the user in a different desktop
environment or KDE libraries should offer a command to adjust their sound
volume (the latter being what I suggest here).
