Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.1) Installed from: Gentoo Packages Compiler: gcc-3.4.4-r1 OS: Linux When I start my KDE I made the setting in the control center to play nearly all sounds (KDE startup, when a new Window opens...). When knotify is playing - for example - the KDE startup sound and while playing this a new window opens and there should be played another sound then I get a new window "KDE- crash manager", telling me, that the programm knotify crashed and caused the signal 6 (SIGABRT). In the trace back window I can read the following : (no debugging symbols found) Using host libthread_db library "/lib/libthread_db.so.1".

Try the steps suggested on http://docs.kde.org/development/en/kdebase/faq/sound.html , and report the results here. They will help to narrow down the location of the problem
OK! I did like advised in section 12.2. I removed knotifyrc and knotify.eventsrc in the /home/of the user/.kde3.5/share/config/ directory. Then I started the kontrol centre and created a new konfiguration. So there is a new knotifyrc file in whish there is only the volume entry different from the old one. In the knotify.eventsrc there are two differences : diff new.knotify.events old.knotify.events shows : 47c47 < soundfile= --- > soundfile=/usr/share/sounds/k3b_error1.wav 70c70 < presentation=65 --- > presentation=1 The k3b_error.wav file is existing in /usr/usr/share/sounds and is readable by everybody. But now knotify don't crash anymore. STRANGE !!!
