kmix does load on slackware 13.0 32-bit

Tim Johnson · 03-06-2010, 02:08 PM

Deju Vu all over again.
see
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...k-13.0-783056/
and
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...32-bit-790599/
This time, audio continues to work, I've run the alsaconf, alsamixer, alsactl store sequence.

When I attempt to start kmix from the KDE menu, I get the bouncing ball
for a while, then nothing.
If I attempt to start kmix from konsole as user, I get nothing, no
error messages.
If I attempt to start kmix from konsole as user I get

Quote:

<unknown program name>(5104)/: KUniqueApplication: Cannot find the D-Bus session server
<unknown program name>(5103)/: KUniqueApplication: Pipe closed unexpectedly.

The following diagnostics were made from konsole

Quote:

bash-3.1$ ls -l /dev/dsp
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 3 2010-03-05 15:15 /dev/dsp
bash-3.1$ file /dev/dsp
/dev/dsp: character special

and checking group membership:

bash-3.1$ grep 'tim' /etc/group

floppy:!:11:root,tim
audio:!:17:root,tim

plugdev:!:83:root,tim
power:!:84:root,tim
netdev:!:86:root,tim
scanner:!:93:root,tim
users:!:100:tim

Please advise

Thanks

So, are you getting errors or not?
Try:

Code:

ldd /usr/bin/kmix | grep 'not found'

that will give you missing librarys if any.

Piping thru grep gives no output

Code:

ldd /usr/bin/kmix

shows no problems (as far as I can see)
full output at end;

Is messagebus runnig? I can't think of anything else at this point, try:

Code:

killall -9 kmix

then as root:

Code:

/etc/rc.d/rc.messagebus restart

and then run kmix as user.

Check you have kdelibs-experimental installed. If not, then install from the slack dvd, or your favourite source.

Tim Johnson · 03-07-2010, 03:59 PM

You know what? I have the solution. It's called
XFCE! I've had nothing but problems with KDE on this install. What was
wrong with KDE 3*? Kde 4 looks great, but it is probably not
ready for prime time. (Mixer works fine on XFCE)

This slightly disguised rant should not in any way be taken as to reflect
negatively on Slackware. This has been very helpful forum. Kudos to you
all and maybe the next release of KDE will work better for me.

BTW: I'm using versions 3* and 4* arbitrarily because I
don't have access to the exact version numbers. I'm referring here to
stock installs of KDE.
cheers
