sw12: arts errors

pete_bogg · 07-11-2007, 07:56 AM

I am using a clean install of slackware 12 and am getting pop-ups about arts errors.

I thought that Slackware 12 was using ALSA. I even see arts when entering a 'ps -A'. What's up?

i do have that kind of problem and probably (just my guess) it's because the installation uses huge-kernels. When i compile 2.6.22 from source, it disappeared. I don't know if this is the right solution, but give it a try

Hello,

I encountered the same problem. Finally I started artsd in a console window and was pointed to a missing "libxine.so.1" when trying to play a mp3-file with Noatun.

Solution which gives me full sound support: Get the latest xine-lib 1.1.7 sources and compile it. the libxine.so.1.1.7 and symlinks are written to /usr/local/lib by "make install", but I think you'll need symlinks libxine.so and libxine.so.1 in /usr/lib. If you do that, Amarok will play, too.

Hope it helps,

I have here:

Code:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     17 2007-06-29 22:28 /usr/lib/libxine.so -> libxine.so.1.17.1*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     17 2007-06-29 22:28 /usr/lib/libxine.so.1 -> libxine.so.1.17.1*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 290828 2007-06-12 07:47 /usr/lib/libxine.so.1.17.1*

Nothing seems to be missing from the default install of Slackware 12.0.

Cheers, Eric
