Title: HowTo: Fix sound after a KDE upgrade
Description: System notifications are broken following a KDE upgrade

Kde has a bug at the moment wherein a system upgrade leaves system notifications broken (in fact, knotify crashes silently during GUI startup).

There are the following choices to fix them:


  • Reinstall the old working ARTS rpm's ignoring and dependency issues
  • Recompile arts from the source rpm with rpmbuild --rebuild arts.src.rpm
  • rebuild arts from source with the configure option ./configure --prefix=/opt/kde3

As an alternative


  • Snakedriver added this edit

Start kwrite with root permissions "kdesu kwrite" and open this file:

/opt/kde3/bin/startkde

Within kwrite click on View > Show Line Numbers
around line 256, find:

test -n "$KDEWM" && KDEWM="--windowmanager $KDEWM"

add the next line in order:

kdeinit +knotify


Save the file and reboot.

However a kdebase update MAY overwrite this change...
