boatman9 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 (edited) My 2009.0 installation has three instances of artsd running after it boots. At least one of the three is preventing one or more other programs from having access to sound output. $ /usr/sbin/lsof | grep snd gconf-hel 3728 user mem REG 8,3 1809984 230949 /usr/lib/libsndfile.so.1.0.18 artsd 4541 user mem CHR 116,16 3015 /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p artsd 4541 user 8r CHR 116,33 0t0 2769 /dev/snd/timer artsd 4541 user 9u CHR 116,16 0t0 3015 /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p kmix 4548 user 10u CHR 116,0 0t0 3062 /dev/snd/controlC0 In order to run certain programs which use sound I must first run the following command to remove the three instances of artsd. killall -TERM artsd Is the presence of artsd immediately after boot a bug in Mandriva 2009.0? How can I automatically remove artsd so that other programs can use the sound system without me having to fix things up manually after each boot?

K Bergen Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 You can try this, it worked in 2008.1 In KDE Control Center go to Sound & Multimedia Sound System Then set (Auto-suspend if idle after) to one second Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boatman9 Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 That fixed it. I have no KDE Control Center in the menu, maybe because I am using KDE 3.5 on 2009.0. The program's name is kcontrol and I was able to call it from command line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K Bergen Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I'm glad to help and happy it's fixed. :D Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I have no KDE Control Center in the menu There's a systemsettings-kde3 package in the repos that is the replacement for kcontrol in Mandriva 2009.0. It gives you the same control settings that are in kcontrol, or you can simply make a menu entry for kcontrol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
