and the english one
Confirmed here, Gentoo Linux, KDE 4.5.93 (RC1). Works with english, german it loses some tabs and it complains about an invalid profile when trying to add new ones. Fuchs Please post a message or screenshot about what is shown when KMix "complains about an invalid profile". BTW: I am on german locale, and it works for me. Created attachment 55489 [details]
Error message when adding a new tab with german locale
File with the error message attached, no messages (despite kdeui (KIconLoader): Trying to remove an entry which is already invalid. This cache is likely corrupt which happens with other applications as well and is probably not related) are shown on stderr / stdout.
Kind regards
Same here (Gentoo, KDE 4.6 RC2), czech locale. When I delete the .kde/share/config/kmixrc, the kmix works as expected. Second run it is ruined - empty GUI. It looks like the configuration file is making problems. First run - OK; second run - unusable. Created attachment 55659 [details]
kmixrc with broken content (czech locale)
It doesn't look like a good idea to have configuration file with locale-specific group names and keys. I can confirm this issue. German locale Gentoo PulseAudio 0.9.22 KDE SC 4.5.95 (4.6 RC2) When using the German locale, only 2 tabs are shown: - Streams wiedergeben (Playback Streams) - Streams aufnehmen (Capture Streams) Furthermore, the stream views aren't updated when a new sound application is there. I can confirm the bug for Kubuntu 11.04 Alpha3, KDE 4.6.1, KMix version 3.8. In english language I see the channel controls, in german setting not. Same issue here (Kubuntu 10.10, KDE 4.6.1, Spanish locale using pulseaudio). From what I see, the problem appears when a profile name has non standard characters as filename (spanish accents in my case). For example "PulseAudio.Dispositivos_de_reproducción.1.default.xml" has problems, but "PulseAudio.Dispositivos_de_reproduccion.1.default.xml" hasn't. As a workaround: remove non standard characters on profile filenames and change the references in kmixctrlrc and kmixrc accordingly. I'm running this script (it only removes accents...so it has to be changed for other locales) before running kmix: sed 'y/áéíóúÁÉÍÓÚ/aeiouAEIOU/' -i "$(kde4-config --localprefix)/share/config/kmixctrlrc" sed 'y/áéíóúÁÉÍÓÚ/aeiouAEIOU/' -i "$(kde4-config --localprefix)/share/config/kmixrc" rename 'y/áéíóúÁÉÍÓÚ/aeiouAEIOU/' "$(kde4-config --localprefix)/share/apps/kmix/profiles/"* Regards. It should use locale-independent (english) identifiers in the first place I think. (In reply to comment #11) > It should use locale-independent (english) identifiers in the first place I > think. +1 Yes, I fully agree that using locale-independent (english) identifiers should be used. I guess that that the localization was put in because the Tabs can't be renamed. This is a issue specific to Pulseaudio. => Changing Component GUI Profiles for PA are no longer saved. It's just too complex to try and manipulate things when the elements therein are dynamic anyway. As PA is already a simplification of the underlying ALSA hardware, I don't think there is really a compelling reason to add even more simplification in the GUI (perhaps there is but IMO the structure of the GUI Profiles code is not really suited to this job without a bit of further tweaks). So I suspect that this problem is now "fixed" (aka avoided) in the trunk and 4.6 branches after the commits I did yesterday. Please test if you can and let me know, otherwise I'll close this bug in a littel while. These commits are not in 4.6.2 then, because this was after the freeze. A short test showed that it is still broken there. Could you link to the commits in the 4.6 branch, so that I can try to apply the patches manually? Otherwise I will have to wait with my tests for 4.6.3, because I don't want to go to trunk right now. Thanks in advance, kind regards Should be quite easy to create a patch from the 4.6.2 tag and the 4.6 branch via subversion, but here are the relevant patches (the first two just being prerequisites to avoid merge conflicts). http://websvn.kde.org/?revision=1226956&view=revision http://websvn.kde.org/?revision=1226957&view=revision http://websvn.kde.org/?revision=1226958&view=revision Fixed, and fix officially released in 4.6.3, thanks for the good work. Kind regards, Christian (Sorry for the late reply) Thanks for the feedback. |
