Artd still load even when disabled....

Well, I do believe I have it disabled. To my knowledge, to disable arts on startup, knotifyrc must be edited:

Code:

dracco@epitaph dracco $ cat .kde/share/config/knotifyrc
[Misc]
External player=/usr/kde/3.3/bin/artsplay
LastConfiguredApp=KDE System Notifications
Use external player=false
Volume=100

[StartProgress]
Arts Init=false
KNotify Init=true
Use Arts=false

But it still appears to load artsd. ps aux shows artsd loaded and hogging my memory.

Code:

dracco    8990  0.5  1.5  12228  7816 ?        S    08:22   0:00 artsd -F 10 -S 4096 -a alsa -d -r 44100 -b 16
dracco    8994  0.0  4.4  32392 22844 ?        S    08:22   0:00 knotify [kdeinit] knotify

How do I complete get rid of arts short from removing it from my system? Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

hi there,

i don't know much about kde but i think there is option in control center => sound where you can disable the sound server.
or you can make it hardcore. put in your initialization scripts something like that

Code:

echo `ps ax | grep -i artds | awk '{print "kill -9 " $2}'` >> init.script
