Description Yichao Zhou 2012-01-12 06:30:56 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.7.4) 
OS:                Linux

See https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1038419.


Use with phonon-vlc.  In ~/.kde4/share/config/kde.notifyrc, with

Sound=KDE-Sys-App-Message.ogg

does not work which is default setting in /usr/share/apps/kde/kde.notifyrc but set it to

Sound=file:///usr/share/soundws/KDE-Sys-App-Message.ogg

Can work around this problem.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
Startup KDE. Hear the startup sound.

Actual Results:  
I can not hear it

Expected Results:  
I can hear it

Use with phonon-vlc.

Are you using Qt 4.8?

Comment 2 Yichao Zhou 2012-01-12 14:27:53 UTC

YES

Comment 3 Christoph Feck 2012-02-16 18:55:47 UTC

The regression will be reverted in Qt 4.8.1.

I will keep this bug open, because it was made clear the behavior will change again in Qt 5.

 python -c "from PyQt5 import QtCore; print ('File: %s' % QtCore.QUrl('foo.txt').toLocalFile())"
File:

...seems it did change.

However sounds seem to still work.
I guess the relevant code in Phonon was changed
