Hi,

I want to be able to use kde in ubuntu 6.10 (or kubuntu) As soon as my system boots up to the desktop, i get an error that says arts error message, fatal error sound server failed cpu overload.

i can do whatever if i do not click on ok (even listen to music) if i click on ok, system hangs and responds again in about one minute when the error comes back again.

I have tried to change alsa to oss, it works fine no issues. But oss isn't as good as alsa is. I want to be able to use alsa. Updating the entire thing does not work.

Surprisingly this seems to be a kde in ubuntu/kubuntu issue as i use Fedora which works just fine.

Any help is appreciated.
Regards
Mohit
