i've tracked the problem down to something to do with artsd and also using alsa instead of plain oss, after googling for a copy of someone else's /etc/modules and persuading alsa to start on boot, i now get an error message from audacity - 'error opening audio device', $rec doesn't do anything at all, if i now kill artsd (im using kde) i can record and play in audacity, but if i then use rec and exit using ctrl-c it seems to hang, it creates a file that i can load with audacity but i can't play it without $killall rec and $killall sox , if i kill those i can then use audacity again, i also notice that noatun refuses to start so something is still broken, i thought to upgrade arts but it asks to install libqt3 which i don't know if can easily coexist with libqt2, also the version no of the arts upgrade is 1.0.3 whereas the installed is 2.2.2 so guess with kde3 things are a bit wierd, urpmi offers to upgrade arts with no mention of kde3 but i'm a little hesitant as this just adds to the cookerish nature of my system and i only do that if i have to
whether this is related or not i don't know but despite having every entry in my /etc/modules.conf that i found online (after altering module names to fit the ones installed under /lib/modules/...) i have no midi, lsmod lists all sort of midi stuff though, anyway i guess what i'd like to know is. -is it safe to upgrade arts and install libqt3 to a kde2 system? - anyone? bascule On Tuesday 16 July 2002 1:53 am, you wrote: > bascule wrote on Tue, Jul 16, 2002 at 12:47:12AM +0100 : > > said rec doesn't do it either, i did upgrade sox using urpmi and although > > that seemed to go okay i now get: > > Send break (control-c) to end recording > > /usr/bin/rec: line 205: 3045 Segmentation fault sox $volume > > Yes, that's the gcc thing. > > > when i say my 8.2 is slightly cookered that is because although as far as > > > Blue skies...
