Bug 59960 – should kde-base depend on esound?

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Stephan Eisenbeiss 2004-08-10 06:51:58 UTC]

Sound did not work for KDE-Desktop sounds. kaboodle crashes because libesd.so is missing.

"emerge esound" solved the problem by installing libesd.so

Sound for KDE is now working, so does kaboodle.

Should package kde-base depend on esound?

I am using alsa and kernel 2.6.7, i bootstrapped my system sometime in april.

HTH,
Stephan

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge kde-base
2. emerge alsa stuff
3. xmms was working
4. kaboodle+KDE-Desktop are not producing sound

It's an optional dep during the arts installation.  Dunno if it needs to be in kdemultimedia or not.

Hello,

I have a similar problem: xmms is working, system notifications in kde not after upgrading to 3.3. There is no error message when starting kde, "Test sound" in control center does nothing, changing sound systems (autodetect, alsa, oss) does not help.

alsamixer works, channels are not muted.

I'm using kernel 2.6.8 with alsa.

Sorry, I forgot to add: emerge esound and reboot did not fix the problem.

[Comment 4 Chr. Schaefer 2004-09-23 01:00:39 UTC]

Sorry, in my case it was no bug:

I removed -arts in make.conf

and then did

emerge -Duv --newuse world 

using Portage 2.0.51_rc1 where --newuse is available

This emerged kdb-base/arts-1.3.0

and re-emerged a lot of kde-base (this takes a while). 

Strange enough the arts-1.2.2 was installed before (came together with kde-3.2.2) and I do not remember changing any USE flags.

Sorry for cluttering this bug.

Christian.

kaboodle has no dependency on esound, probably there was a dependency of 
kaboodle that needed esound, though.
See bug 81966 for a discussion on an issue that's probably related to this 
one.
