I updated udev to udev-162. And I can report some progress and some glitches. PROGRESS: -------- ---a) the first login and logout via kdm gives the welcome and exit sounds consistently ---b)the kde/~Multimedia dialog has a dummy greyed-out icon and another as 'Internal Audio analog stereo' -it odes not describe the manufacturer/partNo of the sound ASIC ---c) aplay plays wav files in konsole -as well as on the cli in/before/after startkde/kdm-logout GLITCHES ----------- ---d) kde/sound is mute for all other logins and logouts bar the first ---e) audio CDROMs do not play neither with KsCD nor Kaffeine for any logins ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- It seems to be as I long suspected a problem with hal and ConsoleKit fiddling with 'sessions' Suggestions of a fix for reliable sound on ALL KDE logins and on playing CDROMs would be appreciated. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
