Comment 1 Caio 2004-02-07 17:40:10 UTC
Remembering that I use Slackware 9.1 with kernel 2.4.24
Comment 2 Murray Strome 2006-01-23 08:13:07 UTC
I get a similar problem since upgrading to Mandriva 2006. 
 kernel version 2.6.12 (I think)
 KDE version 3.4.2

As soon as I login and KDE starts up (even before the splash showing the startup process), I get the item

 "X Soundserver - The KDE Crash Handler". This is 100% repeatable.
Under the General Tab:
    Short description

    The application Soundserver (artsd) crashed and caused the signal 6
    (SIGABRT)

    What is this?

    An application terminates with a SIGABRT signal when it detects an internal
    inconsistency caused by a bug in the program.

   What can I do?

   You might want to send a bug report for this application. Check if it is listed on
   http://bugs.kde.org, otherwise mail the author. Please include as much
   information as possible, maybe the original documents. If you have a way to
   reproduce the error, include this also.

Under the Backtrace Tab, I get:

This backtrace appears to be of no use.
This is probably because your packages are built in a way which prevents
creation of proper backtraces, or the stack frame was seriously corruptec in
the crash.

Unable to create a valid backtrace

I guess this would be a form of validation that there is a problem, though sound for some things seems to work anyway.

Same with opensuse 10.2 using KDE 3.5.7 I was unable to get a backtrace but this is what I have:

This backtrace appears to be of no use.
This is probably because your packages are built in a way which prevents creation of proper backtraces, or the stack frame was seriously corrupted in the crash.

System configuration startup check disabled.

Comment 13 Adam Jimerson 2007-06-10 15:56:25 UTC
It seems that soundsever works for the first user everytime my computer reboots then it crashes when they logout and stays that way until I restart it again.

Comment 15 Shlomi Fish 2008-02-14 22:08:17 UTC
I can reproduce this bug here - noatun causes artsd to crash and refuses to play any file, even those with codecs available. Turning off the sound system in kcontrol could not reproduce this problem.

I have a Mandriva Cooker system.

Is there any solution for it?

Regards,

Comment 16 Matt Rogers 2008-11-19 23:37:33 UTC
Arts is no longer developed and has been unmaintained for quite some time - more than 2 years. With phonon as the replacement for arts in KDE4, we're closing out all the arts bugs in Bugzilla since there is no chance of them being fixed.

Thanks
