artsd crashes under centos 4.5

[Olaf Mueller]

Hello,

artsd (arts-1.5.7-1.el4) is crashing on centos 4.5. The soundsystem
could not be started under kcontrol.
Also /dev/snd/seq is missing. Is that ok?


regards
Olaf

Works for our boxes here.

Anyone else seeing this?

Not entirely sure, but it gives my bad vibes...

artsd (arts-1.5.7-1.el4) is crashing on centos 4.5. The soundsystem
could not be started under kcontrol.

Works for our boxes here.

Now I have installed the arts-1.5.7 sources from ftp.kde.org
under /usr/local/kde/. Then I have replaced the centos arts binaries
under /usr/bin/ with the self compiled sources
from /usr/local/kde/bin/ by symbolic links. The sound works fine now.
Also I had to load the module snd_seq by 'modprobe snd_seq'.

Could my centos-plus kernel (kernel-2.6.9-55.plus.c4.i686.rpm) be the
causer of this problem?

The error message of ~/.xsession-errors with the arts binaries from
centos:

Maybe ???

You could try out the stock kernel to see if problems persist or not.

No, cause this kernel has no isa sound card support. That's why I am
using the centos-plus kernel.

Now I am sure that there is something wrong with the compiling options
of fedora and centos. Cause I made an other test, that times with
fedora core 6 and kdm (kde 3.5.7) on an other computer to get more
info about Bugzilla Bug 243560.
I have installed kdm from sources (ftp.kde.org) to /usr/local/kde3.5.7
and created an link /usr/bin/kdm -> /usr/local/kde3.5.7/bin/kdm.

Now xdmcp with kdm works perfect.

What ./configure options (if any) did you use?

We use on el4: (for the most part):
+ ./configure \
--includedir=/usr/include/kde --disable-rpath --disable-debug \
--disable-warnings --disable-dependency-tracking --enable-new-ldflags \
--disable-libmad --enable-final

I have not used any additional options. The defaults from configure
file of arts are:

./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man \
--infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix \
--enable-checking=release --with-system-zlib --enable-__cxa_atexit \

--with-java-home=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.4.2-gcj-1.4.2.0/jre \
--with-cpu=generic --host=i386-redhat-linux

Maybe my problem has something to do with alsa?

Maybe, but I doubt it... I think you're on to something, since you seem
to have cured the XDMCP issue in the process.

I'll start tinkering.

I am having a similar problem here. /dev/snd/seq disappeared and had to be
manually included using modprobe. Kernel is

2.6.9-55.0.2.ELsmp

kde version: 3.5.7-8.el4
arts/arts-devel: 1.5.7-1.el4

if I just type artsd on the command-line (w/o flags) I get the following
message:

artsd
unix_connect: can't connect to server
(unix:/tmp/ksocket-anthony/aardvark.shef.ac.uk-215d-468361f2)
tcp_connect: can't connect to server (tcp:aardvark.shef.ac.uk:34481)

loading extension from '/usr/lib/libartsbuilder.la' failed: file not found
MCOP ObjectManager: Could not load extension libartsbuilder.la.
MCOP ObjectManager: can't find implementation for Arts::ArtsBuilderLoader.
Segmentation fault

The socket in question does exist, btw. Perhaps it is stale ?

Hope this helps. If there is anything for me to try, please let me know.

Separate problem. kdemultimedia-3.5.7 isn't yet built for el4.

Strange indeed.

I've done some more testing. It does not appear related to using Alsa or OSS.
Also, I have played with the various options in kcontrol, but none of them
appear to have any effect on this.

Not really wanting to contradict your earlier statement, but this does solve
the problem...
