I have the exact same issue except my problem occured after I had to set artswapper suid in order to run realtime priority and after doing so lost all systems notifacations sounds. I also have this problem after upgrade to kde3.2.2, but it's not every user. For example, system notifications don't work for my wife, but they work fine for me. As far as I can tell our sound settings are identical. I corrected this problem earlier by removing her ~/.kde directory and starting over, which seemed to correct it for a while. Any idea how to troubleshoot this? I've tried running strace against artsd but that yields absolutely nothing useful that I can tell. Exactly the same problem. Bypassed it selecting artsplay as external player. But there's a small delay on the sound. Does anybody have another solution? I've found the error!! It's just a question of editing ~/.kde.share.config/knotifyrc Your StartProgress section must be like this: [StartProgress] Arts Init=true KNotify Init=true Use Arts=true The question is why kde don't change this automatically... kmidi no longer exists. This is not a kmidi bug (and never was) but a knotify bug. And it doesn't look like it's fixed for everybody so I'll reopen it now. Same exact issue for me in SuSE 9.1, all was working well except after a few days no sound notifications work. I did exactly what the first person did and was able to replicate the issue. I found that the realtime checkmark will disappear after trying to test a notification sound. Using KDE 3.2.1. Also, using XMMS pluggin for arts works fine, no issues or clicks. Had the same problem with having to manually edit knotifyrc. This is still an issue with kde 3.2 and 3.3 . Just like poster, all sounds work with alsa except for system notifications. Edit the knotifyrc file and system notifications start working again. Thanks, editing knotifyrc also worked for me. Sound stopped playing for notifications, after I disabled "Enable sound system", and then enabled it later on again, so this is probably the source of the bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 69830 *** Having just looked at 69830 I'm far from sure this is a duplicate. I have had this issue even with the correct ('true') settings in the StartProgress section of knotifyrc, and I had at no time disabled and re-enabled notification sounds. If you have evidence that the two are related - despite the conditions noted in 69830 not being met - then please identify why as this may help people resolve the problem.
> Having just looked at 69830 I'm far from sure this is a duplicate. Sorry, in which previous comment did *you* comment on this bug? > I have had this issue even with the correct ('true') settings in the StartProgress section of knotifyrc Then your problem may not match this report and it's another source of problem. Please file another bug report then and don't mix several problems within one. > please identify why as this may help people resolve the problem. I can only conclude from *existing* comments and they say that it does. I hadn't previously added a comment since my situation was exactly as described above - doesn't seem much point in simple 'me2'. It's not what's described on the other bug, though, as the situation on this one isn't related to disabling notifications then re-enabling them, which is what's described on bug 69830. The two /may/ be related, but there does seem to be a significant difference. > I hadn't previously added a comment since my situation was exactly as described above One can also comment on the proposed solutions/work-arounds. ;-) > there does seem to be a significant difference Tell us about the difference to "all sounds but knotify works". :-) |
Version: arts 1.2.1 (using KDE KDE 3.2.1) Installed from: Compiled From Sources Compiler: gcc 3.2.3 OS: Linux Although the sound system in Controlcenter is configured properly There is no sound at KDE start. If I open Controlcenter - Soundsystem and press the Test sound butten sound is played as ofen I press the button. All sound applications like kmidi, XMMS, KsCD work without any problem. There is a process artsd running. BUT: I can get no sound for system notifaications. If I open Controlcenter - System notification and test any sound (replaylevel is max) there happens absolutly nothing. Nothing but:The mark in realtimepriority disappears. And if I try to reset it I get "Der Start von aRts mit Echtzeit-Priorität ist nicht möglich, da das Programm "artswrapper" nicht vorhanden oder deaktiviert ist." (Start of arts in realtime impossible, because programm artswrapper is not there or deactivated) what is silly because of course artswrapper is there and of course is not deactivated. And who needs artswrapper when artsd is running? If I try to start artswrapper in a console I get: bash-2.05b$ /usr/kde/3.2/bin/artswrapper can't register Arts::MidiManager There are already artsd objects registered, looking if they are active... Error: Can't add object reference (probably artsd is already running). If you are sure it is not already running, remove the relevant files: /tmp/mcop-xy/Arts_SoundServerV2 /tmp/mcop-xy/Arts_SoundServer /tmp/mcop-xy/Arts_SimpleSoundServer /tmp/mcop-xy/Arts_PlayObjectFactory /tmp/mcop-xy/Arts_AudioManager bash-2.05b$ Why it tries to register MidiManager is curious because such a file is just there like the others. Deinstalling MIDI (timidity) does not change the situation, by the way MIDI works. The problem arose with upgrade form arts 1.1.4 to 1.2.1 and kde 3.1.4 to 3.2.1. Any ideas?
