The only error message I get is not helpful: "There was an error loading the module. The diagnostics is:" No diagnostics given. By the way, this started with an unstable upgrade, about four weeks ago, back then still KDE 2.1.1. I had no hardware changes nor did I change the kernel at that time. It just stopped working silently. After the upgrade to KDE2.2 beta, some other modules stopped working to, as I already posted "/me smacking my head" or something. Sound and artsd themselves are working as usual, I think this is a bug with kcontrol. Erasing ~/.kde did not help (but was an enlightening experience nonetheless). > So I guess that 'kcminit arts' does not work too. AFAIK this starts artsd. No, that doesn't work either. I start artsd with `artsd -F 16 -S 4096` from the KDE command line. After this everything works fine, but obviously it's not part of the KDE session management, because I have to do that everytime I log into KDE. (I turn my machine of every night, and doing this every single day is annoying. This is not Windoze after all. :) > > So, can anybody point me to the relevant rcfile I have to edit in order > > to get artsd started automagically? > > Options are in ~/.kde/share/config/kcmartsrc Doesn't exist on my system unfortunatelly. Makes sense though, because I erased ~/.kde and `kcmshell arts` can't create this file, because it's broken itself. :( Can you send me your file as a sample? > In case above does not work: (untested) put an arts.directory file > to ~/.kde/Autostart/. Check /usr/share/autostart for templates. Hmm, looks ugly. I'll give it a spin. Thanks, Viktor -- Viktor Rosenfeld WWW: http://www.informatik.hu-berlin.de/~rosenfel/
