Arts is terminated when you start Jack, which is what most people would use on a system like this, I suspect. By default, under Setup -> Options -> Scripting there is a checked box for "Execute Script on Startup" and the value is: artsshell -q terminate Of course, I'm using a straight 64 Studio 2.1 installation, with Gnome as my desktop. The only apps I installed out of Etch are K3B (I just don't like the Gnome app for CD ripping/burning) and some web development apps (Apache, MySQL, some Perl modules) and Vim. I just don't have the patience to mess around with this stuff when the whole reason I'm using 64 Studio is for the great systems integration of Debian combined with the wonderful music and audio apps that the 64 Studio team keep up to date with and nicely integrated into a stable system, even the testing system. -Susan _______________________________________________ 64studio-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-users
