However, despite my widely-acknowledged near-perfection :lol: , I am more than willing to play upon your fragile emotional states after this crushing blow :-) to pitch for work if anybody has got some. Work for money would be (extremely) nice, but I'll take credits on a project that would look good on a CV. Read on if you want to know more; otherwise, feel free to delete this completely OT mail right now :-) . -- PITCH FOLLOWS--- By avocation, I'm a writer. This you may have guessed. For 'fun', I write screenplays, but my 'working' day is spent on how-tos and mini-manuals on forums and mailing lists like this one, as well as my own side projects, most of which are ultimately designed to help me write better how-tos and mini-manuals (though a couple of them are designed to help me write better screenplays). I have been published (by a now-defunct magazine, but I still have the original issues in which my work appeared), and I can demonstrably write to spec and on deadline. For examples of my style, one can of course look in the archives here, or Google for 'motub' (the nick is the brand :-) ), but the best places to look would be LQF, the forums of the Player's Resource Consortium at nwnprc.netforums.co.uk/ , and a hosted piece at www.shell-shocked.org/article.php?id=230 . Unfortunately, the Linux Format forums (where I spent a lot of time before I forced myself to cut back) recently upgraded (which was not by any means the unfortunate part :-D ), and all of the previous post data was lost. So all the 'good stuff' I had there is no longer publically available. By trade, I do Customer Service. I worked for over 10 years in CS in various fields: the CBS television network, a film distribution company, a temporary employment agency (by the name of Personnel Express; if you happen to live in NYC and want to call them, or if you work out of the agency and drop by, tell Stephanie, Paula, Nadine, and Randi--and Gwen if she's still there-- hi for me). I've also done 'undocumented' work in real-estate sales, retail sales, cable television production, telemarketing, and worked as a paralegal in my 18 years of work experience. Most of my CS work was also finance-related-- calculating how much people were getting paid, or how much they were paying us, and explaining to them why the amount was what it was (and making them like it, or at least accept it gracefully). This is probably how I developed the the extreme patience that people on this and other lists have noticed and commented on. Unfortunately, good CS requires exceptional communication skills, and while I am generally considered to speak very good Dutch (I read better than I speak, but probably speak better than I write) for someone who's been here only (now) 5 years, it's just not good enough to do what I do, in the view of employers. In fact, it's not good enough in my own view, either-- because apparently I not only do Customer Service, but I am Customer Service (in the same sense that I am a writer). I find that I treat helping people on forums and mailing lists as if it was my work, and hold my performance to the standards of gainful employment in the Customer Service field. Which says a lot about what makes me tick vocationally, but can be seen as a bit excessive, for no money :-) . That's both a strength and a weakness of mine; I can get somewhat too focused when I have a project on the table (and my definition of what constitutes a project can be a bit loose). I'm also very stubbornly independent of mind; I tend to unintentionally but inescapably perform required tasks (correctly, but) by way of my own methodology, which is not appropriate to the stricter traditional corporate atmospheres. I've been told by my supervisor in such a corporation that I'm too creative, which I must concede was an accurate summation.

Maybe the user can't shutdown? Try the halt command from a console using the user that you log in with KDE. Also check the logs to see if any message appears while you command the shutdown. I personally dislike KDE, but that's related to the fact that I don't have such a computer (p4 3G) to run it, on my downclocked athlon xp 1.1 fluxbox rules.

Personally, I use dmix, although it can be a pain (lots of trial and
error) to get setup and working correctly. I also use artsd for KDE
applications (except for amarok, which works best with the xine engine),
by specifying pcm.dmixer as the output device for artsd in control panel.

contains:

Thank you, Antonino I can't speak for Andreas, of course, but for myself it's not an issue because 1) I don't generally need to mix sounds (I'm not one to watch a movie in mPlayer with kopete or whatever running in the background); 2) I don't generally use system sounds anyway because my PC is next to my boyfriend's. He uses speakers and I use headphones to keep the sound pollution in our computer room to a minimum. I usually don't bother to wear the 'phones unless I specifically need them for a game, movie, or music, so there's not much point in enabling system or application sounds; 3) I invested some 30 Euros in a soundcard that does hardware mixing (could have spent less, actually, but I liked this card and I really didn't want a Soundblaster Live! variant). Vast improvement over my onboard sound chip. So I would answer that you might consider eliminating the need for sound mixing, or investing in hardware that actually supports features you want to use.

Hi, Personally, I use dmix, every Distro should preconfigure DMIX now, it's the right thing. although it can be a pain (lots of trial and error) to get setup and working correctly. That's true :) . I also use artsd for KDE applications (except for amarok, which works best with the xine engine), by specifying pcm.dmixer as the output device for artsd in control panel. With DMIX, you can use artsd, esound, JACK and other software which wants to use an ALSA device directly simultaneously.

Well, there is one reason...VMWare still doesn't support ALSA, and the vmwaredsp wrapper library only works with esd or artsd, so I have to keep one of them around. DMIX does not make the soundservers unnecessary. Why? A program which needs esound or arts or gstreamer or JACK cannot output sound via dmix. But DMIX makes it possible to * run several soundservers at the same time * that more than one application which does not use a soundserver but tries to access an ALSA device directly can output sound simultaneously Remaining problems: Applications which still need OSS can output sound via the ALSA OSS emulation, but if I'm right it is still difficult to pipe it through DMIX But anyway, DMIX solves a lot or problems and really is a great step forward. And to those who think DMIX is unneccessary, think about the following constellation. You're listening to ogg files while your collegue tries to call you via a softphone.
