I created bug #29031 which was about realplay and the fact that it would crash on startup. It turned out that running "artsdsp realplay" fixes it. I'm creating this bug because I would like someone to add some einfo lines to the realplayer ebuild which says: "If you are running KDE arts, try 'artsdsp realplay'". It seems that this has been a recurring problem with realplayer in many distros... The exact same thing goes for realone as well.
realplay isn't a sound herd package... handing off.
*** Bug 40580 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Created attachment 26479 [details] realplayer-8-r7.ebuild.patch I no longer use arts, because I'm using fluxbox, but here's a patch for ebuild anyways.
thanks. this has been added to the emerge info
Something else has to be done for realone as well.
so the same solution works for realone as well?
Yes the same solution works for realone as well.
