[gentoo-user] kde3.4.3 with arts on amd64
Hi, I've installed kde3.4.3 with arts on my amd64 machine. Alsa is working fine. But arts works only partially. All notification sound doesn't work. Also I don't get sound when logging in. But, for example, amarok works with the arts driver. Is this a known bug? What can I do? Regards Marc -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Regards Marc Is aRTs set to use ALSA? kcontrol (KDE Control Center)= Sound and Multimedia= Sound System= Hardware Tab = Select the Audio device drop-down (choose 'Alsa'). Yes. It should also work with automatic detection. But it doesn't work in either cases. Secondly, you do have system sounds turned on, yes? Assuming that the backend is properly configured, in order to have sounds in KDE you need the following settings in kcontrol: Sound and Multimedia= Sound System= Sound System= General Tab= Enable the Sound System must be checked (system sounds are played through aRTS, and that is the sound system this checkbox enables); This is also set. And when I push the Test-Sound-Button here I get no sound. Sound and Multimedia= System Notifications. When the Event Source drop-down in this dialog is set to KDE System Notifications, you need to make sure that: 1) valid sounds are associated with the various events (if the test of the sound doesn't play, well, it's not going to play in KDE either), and 2) The Quick Control, when the Apply to all events checkbox is checked, is not set to Turn Off all Sounds. This is also all set to correct values. Hope this helps, Holly If it was that simple there will be no problem. Regards Marc -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Hope this helps, Holly It also can be: - You used -arts in your USE. - You don't have this in ~/.kde/share/config/knotifyrc I have got arts in my USE flags. [StartProgress] Arts Init=true KNotify Init=true Use Arts=true I don't have this. But that's not the root of the problem. Hope it helps!! Chema Thanks.

Well, how were we to know that? We don't know you, we don't know if you know how to set up KDE properly, and you didn't tell us that you had already done so. A user new to KDE would not necessarily find that all so 'simple' as you do. So. Your settings are correct, and even though you don't have [StartProgress] Arts Init=true KNotify Init=true Use Arts=true ... it's not the root of the problem. Why not? Because fixing it didn't make a difference? And if that isn't the root of the problem, it sounds like you have an idea what perhaps is? On the one hand of all fixing it makes no difference and on the other hand arts is also not working during logging in, for example. Shall we guess randomly? OK... have you checked KMix to make certain that it's unmuted and not taking over the mixer settings from ALSA? Kmix has correct settings too. Do you have any other unusual conditions/setup relating to sound on your system? Multiple sound cards, recording setup? I've go one sound card on my motherboard. The output of lspci is 00:04.0 Multimedia audio controller: nVidia Corporation CK804 AC'97 Audio Controller (rev a2) The driver for that card is i8x0. Do you use any unusual compiler flags that might have caused arts to *seem* to compile all right, but in fact break? My use flags are: USE=amd64 X acpi alsa apache2 arts audiofile avi berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 cdr crypt cups curl dbus dvd dvdr encode exif expat fam ffmpeg foomaticdb fortran gd gif glut gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 hal idn imagemagick imlib ipv6 java jpeg kde lcms libwww lzw lzw-tiff mad mhash mng motif mp3 mpeg mysql ncurses nls opengl pam pcre pdflib perl php plotutils png ppds python qt quicktime readline scanner sdl spell ssl tcltk tcpd tetex tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode usb userlocales xine xml2 xpm xv zlib linguas_de userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc How have you installed KDE? Split ebuilds? Monolithic build? If split ebuilds, what parts of KDE did you compile, and did you compile them all with arts support? I've installed kde using split ebuilds. These are all packages: de-base/kdebase-meta kde-base/kicker-applets kde-base/kontact kde-base/kaddressbook kde-base/kdeartwork-kscreensaver kde-base/kdeartwork-kwin-styles kde-base/kdeartwork-iconthemes kde-base/kdeartwork-wallpapers kde-base/kdeartwork-sounds kde-base/kdeartwork-styles kde-base/kdvi kde-base/kghostview kde-base/kpdf kde-base/kde-i18n kde-base/kcachegrind kde-base/kcalc kde-base/kdict kde-base/kgpg kde-base/kmail kde-base/korganizer kde-base/kregexpeditor amarok k3b kmix The arts use flag is set in /etc/make.conf. I've installed all packages with arts support. Any further information would be helpful. Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

All KDE system sounds are ogg files thus you need +vorbis USE flag while compiling arts, to play these files or use a third party player like alsaplayer to do it for you.

[gentoo-user] Arts problem
Hi, I'm running Gentoo 2005.0 with gentoo-sources (2.6.12) on an AMD Athlon 64. I'am using alsa-driver. Sound is working with mplayer and with xmms even using the arts plugin. But it is not working in kde. Why ? Regards Marc -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] amd64 gcc with multilib
Hi, I need to build fvwm in 32 bit mode on an amd64 machine. The CFLAG -m32 seems to be ignored. What to do? Note: I have tried to compile fvwm manually (no portage, emerge) since I know that otherwise it may render my system, especially portage, unusable! Regards Marc -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

C I also have strange beeping sounds on my Dell Pentium M laptop sometimes. (Especially once when I booted with the kernel parameter init=/bin/bash because of a Gentoo problem. Then it was a constant beep.) Now the problem has not appeared for a few days. It helps to hold down an arrow key, but when it is released, the beep comes back. Very strange... Do any of you run kfani8k or teh i8k module? No. Hi, it is not necessary to use i8k since there is a fan control built in. Furthermore the effect I described before has nothing to do with i8k!

Intel SpeedStep, A.K.A Frequency Scaling should work regardless -- presuming you have that driver (it's under Power Management - CPU Frequency Scaling IIRC). Apart from that I can't really suggest much. Tom I've chosen this driver right now but without the processor module frequency scaling won't work! Regards Marc -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
