If your {C,CXX}FLAGS have --fomit-frame-pointer, noatun (part of kdemultimedia) kills artsd (the sound server) when you try to play any file. I have experienced this with both gcc3.2 and gcc2.95 on a pentium 3 machine. My {C,CXX}FLAGS otherwise look like this: -march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-framepointer Adding this to my kdemultimedia ebuild fixed it: filter-flags "-fomit-frame-pointer"
Hm. This doesn't happen for me. Actually lots of people use -fomit-frame-pointer and noone's reported this before, so there's probably some additional reason for this. Try running artsd and noatun both from konsoles and see if there's any interesting output, i.e. how/why does it kill artsd?
I've re-emerged kdemultimedia with -fomit-frame-pointer. In one shell, I run: $ /usr/kde/3/bin/artsd -F 10 -S 4096 -s 60 -m artsmessage -l 3 -f In another shell I run: $ noatun mcop warning: user defined signal handler found for SIG_PIPE, overriding MCOP StartupManager: adding a StartupClass after Dispatcher init will not work. Internal Vis Started 0 $ I was originally mistaken about noatun crashing artsd when trying to play a file. It actually crashes artsd as soon as it starts. In the shell running artsd, all I get is a segmentation fault. There are at least a few other people who have the same problem: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=3506&highlight=kdemultimedia http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=9657&highlight=kdemultimedia+fomitframepointer However, a post in this forum thread claims that there might be a problem even without -fomit-frame-pointer: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=3827&highlight=kdemultimedia+fomitframepointer I'm not sure where to go from here...
i got a mail from a gentoo user with exactly the same problem, i think we should filter "--fomit-frame-pointer" from kdemultimedia. anyone against this?
ok, -fomit-frame-pointer is now filtered by kdemultimedia, thanks for submission
