[Solved] OSS4 KDE Notifications problem

After reading a lot of great stuff about OSS4, I decided to give it a shot. I installed it and parts of it seem to work just fine, but I noticed that a lot of my KDE sounds weren't working. To make a long story short, for some reason OSS4 doesn't seem to be able to play Ogg Vorbis files on my system. Is this a problem with OSS4 or is there maybe something else I should be looking at? I have an extremely fresh install of Arch so I'm not sure what the issue could be if it's mine.
Thanks!

Another update, wine works fine too, so I figured I'd look directly at 'play'
Running play from the commandline gives me a good hint at what's going on:
ALSA lib confmisc.c:768:(parse_card) cannot find card '0'
ALSA lib conf.c:3513:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_card_driver returned error: No such file or directory
ALSA lib confmisc.c:392:(snd_func_concat) error evaluating strings
ALSA lib conf.c:3513:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_concat returned error: No such file or directory
ALSA lib confmisc.c:1251:(snd_func_refer) error evaluating name
ALSA lib conf.c:3513:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer returned error: No such file or directory
ALSA lib conf.c:3985:(snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: No such file or directory
ALSA lib pcm.c:2144:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default
ALSA snd_pcm_open error: No such file or directory
play ao: Could not open default device: error 5
play soxio: Failed writing `default':
So it looks like 'play' is trying to use ALSA rather than OSS. I've been looking around for configuration options of some sort, but nothing seems to be coming up. Could the package in the repositories possibly have been built without OSS support? Or is there possibly something else I'm missing?
Thanks again for the help.
Edit: Ok, I've made a custom compiled SOX package that definitely compiled OSS support and it's still doing the same thing >_<

[Solved] Persistent KDE notifications nag

Hello. It's my first post on the forums, and I'm sorry if the question is very trivial. I haven't been able to find the answer anywhere on the web.
The problem is that KDE notifications persist indefinitely even after explicitly dismissing them. An example is suppose I download something in Firefox. I get a notification that it's downloaded. I can do two things. Either I activate it (or click the little x in the corner to get rid of it) or I ignore it. If I activate it, it should go away, right? Well, it doesn't. The notification area shows that I still have a notification. And when I opt to see that notification, it's the one I just activated (or just dismissed), i.e. the completed download in this case. If I activate it (or dismiss it) again, then it goes away for real.
Now for the second scenario, i.e. the one in which I just ignore it. The notification area shows me that I have a notification. I opt to see that notification and then either activate it or dismiss it. Regardless of what I do, the notification remains there. It's after I activate or dismiss it the second time that it goes away permanently.
This happens for every notification from every application. Is it a situation faced by anyone else? And if yes, how were you able to change this behaviour?

I've also seen this since KDE 4.10. Notifications can only be completely removed by pulling up the notification widget history and closing them there; closing the notification when it first pops up leaves it in the notification history, which is especially annoying if the notification widget is set to show only when there are outstanding notifications, since you have to dismiss each one twice over.
This behaviour appears to be the subject of KDE Bug 311413, filed in December; it is confirmed and has a patch, but doesn't list a target release for incorporating the fix as yet.

I reset my iPhone 4 Network settings to fix the push notification problem, but I lost my internet connection. How do I fix it?

I tried to solve the "connect to iTunes to receive push notifications"-problem by resetting my network settings, but it only caused me to lose my internet connection when using 3G. Now I can't do anything with this stupid phone. How do I fix it? I don't want to reset anything anymore, I'm sick of this new iOs update, it seriously messed up my phone and I can't do anything properly anymore. Any help?
And btw, I would also like to get the push notifications back on. Connecting to iTunes did absolutely nothing. Resetting the network settings only made my situation worse. Help please!

Hi there Julia,
Ahh The iPhone isn't "stupid" it's been called "stupid" because you are frustrated at the situation , but try
Load iTunes. Backup your phone. Make sure it is backed up !! Run restore. This will get rid of the error! And please what ever you do , do not skip the back up!
Thanks,

Push notification problems with 4s.

Recently I have been having problems with my whatsapp application, it keeps prompting "Connect to iTunes to use push notifications" how to solve this very annoying problem? Please help. Never jailbreak before.

You'll need to address your problem to the Whatsapp developer. This has nothing to do with the Iphone but the apps itself.
Try reading the app review and see if other users are having the same problem and if there is a resolution.

Integrate KDE notifications with Openbox?

Hi,
I'm using openbox with whole set of KDE programs (I prefer it this way over KDE with OB as WM).
Is there any way of integrating KDE notifications with OB to make it look neat?
Cheers
vi3dr0

What do you mean "integrating KDE notifications with OB" ?
If it's related to launching KDE applications from OB menu, you can have entries like that :
<menu id="apps-editors-menu" label="Editors">
<item label="Kwrite">
<action name="Execute">
<command>kwrite</command>
<startupnotify>
<enabled>yes</enabled>
</startupnotify>
</action>
</item>
</menu>
in your ~/.config/openbox/menu.xml
If it's something else, explain and give an example of what you want.

Any way of finding out how Apple will solve the Aperture / ACR problem?

Has anyone out there gotten any comments from Apple support or other people "in the know" about how Apple is going to solve the Aperture / ACR problem, and any potential time frame?
Of course, Apple is going to work on problems with its own RAW conversion; that goes without saying. But does anyone have any knowledge of whether Apple is going to open up the ability for Apple to send RAW, unconverted images to Photoshop, so that ACR can handle them?
I think knowing this now is pretty crucial. I am willing to live with the pain Aperture is going to impose on my workflow, in exchange for the file organization benefits it provides, IF I know that I'll be able to use Aperture with ACR soon (near term). But if Apple is going to just tinker with the RAW converter, and not attempt to send RAW files to ACR, then as someone else posted in another topic, this could be a long wait, and other companies have taken years to hone their RAW converters.
This is kind of my last-ditch effort to keep Aperture around, and build my workflow around it. If I know that within a month or two at the most, I'll be able to be using ACR directly when editing new versions, then I'll absorb the pain until then. But if I am looking at waiting six months for it (several man years), or riding out the process of Apple trying to get their own converter fixed, then as much as I don't want to, Aperture is going to get returned or hit eBay.
Does anyone have any idea on this? I've held up my projects for the past week trying to reorganize my workflow to work with Aperture, and I've got to pound the gavel, make a decision, and pursue a direction. Knowing what direction Apple is going to take with this makes all the difference in the world in what I do.
Thanks in advance for any info you can pass on.

This "Open External Editor from Master NEF", versus open from a dynamicaly created version is, I have decided, crucial.
I am getting less clumsy with the interface, but I simply can not get all white balance, and noise reduction done on my best available light shots.
ACR in CS2, and a subsequent "Neat Image" scrubbing is excellent for this.
The automatic association within a stack, of the resulting flattened file would be a big difference. I agree a formal statement from Apple would make me more inclined to really commit to Aperture for all my work.
Going one step further, it would be nice to keep the layers on the round-trip Master file, even if you would work with a dynamicaly created version of the returned "master" within a stack. It would occupy more disk space, but would do so only for those images where the user has made a quality decision.

Does upgrading from Premiere Elements 12 to 13 solve the Organizer thumbnail problem?

Thumbnails do not show up after importing clips into Premiere Elements 12 Organizer. I've tried right clicking on a clip and telling it to recreate the thumbnail but it doesn't work. I've tried refreshing and repairing the catalog. I've even started a new catalog and reimported the files. The system says it's creating thumbnails but they still do not show up. Does upgrading from Premiere Elements 12 to 13 solve the Organizer thumbnail problem?

listiak
That is one of those questions best answered by evaluating Elements Organizer13 with your specific files in your specific computer environment.
Each of the Elements Organizer versions often appears to carry along its own baggage.
One of the things that came up about Elements Organizer 13 thumbnails recently was a problem with files with MPEG2
video compression. The Adobe word on this was that this is only an Elements Organizer 13 tryout issue...supposed not to exist
in the purchased version.

[SOLVED] KDE install problem

Hi folks,
I am trying to install KDE on my Arch Linux flash drive and I'm having 1 problem. I typed pacman -S kde, and about 20% through the whole download, it gets to the file called "libwbclient-4.0.7-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz". It then starts going through a LOT of mirrors trying to find one that works, but every single one says "The requested URL returned error: 404 not found". I checked with my phone and another computer that my internet is working, and I paused the download and pinged Google to make sure the laptop I'm using still had a connection (it did). Any ideas?

Ah, shucks
We do ask that those who start threads to mark them as solved when appropriate. We ask that you do it as only you know when it ir really solved. Just edit the first post in the thread and add [SOLVED] to the beginning of the thread title.
Thanks, and, again, welcome to Arch.

Teamspeak3 in KDE - microphone problems [SOLVED]

I am in KDE4 (latest version as of now). I chose the GStreamer backend when I installed KDE.
I have a headset, plugged into the rear outlets on my pc.
Sound output works fine.
I installed Teamspeak3 (Linux version, not Wine, but same problem in Windows/Wine version).
I can hear sounds just fine, but it does not register any sound from my microphone.
I went into alsamixer, unmuted everything, turned it up, etc., same problem. There is a 'rear mic' and 'rear mic boost' in the output section of alsamixer. when I turn that up, I can hear the microphone just fine through the headphones, so I know the microphone works and is picking up sound - Teamspeak isn't registering it, though.
The input section of Teamspeak settings shows either default or ALSA for sound system, and whichever I choose, it has two devices under microphone. I've tried all different combinations, no dice.
Any ideas?
Last edited by olorin12 (2014-12-13 02:51:30)

Apparently I didn't do my due diligence.
Teamspeak3 requires Pulseaudio. I installed it, now everything is working fine, both native and Windows/Wine versions.
Leaving this up in case anyone else runs into the same problems.

[Partly SOLVED] KDE khotkeys problem

Hi!
I have this problem with keyboard shortcuts that khotkeys doesn't update my configuration. I have multiple entries in it which doesn't exist anymore in "custom shortcuts". I have found this bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62113 posted years ago but didn't find any solution. Does anybody have the same problem?

Hi
Yes, i have seen this link too. There is posted workaround to manually edit khotkeysrc. Now, i have tried it but without succes. This is an excerpt from khotkeysrc for shortcut to triger kcalc application:
[Data_9]
Comment=Comment
Enabled=true
Name=kcalc
Type=SIMPLE_ACTION_DATA
[Data_9Actions]
ActionsCount=1
[Data_9Actions0]
CommandURL=kcalc

This, i think, happen only with La

[Data_9Triggers0]
Key=Launch (1)
Type=SHORTCUT
Uuid={e585db18-a0a9-4526-8d8b-3eb048a20e94}
Under [Data_9Triggers0] there is "Key=Launch (1)" which is my shortcut to kcalc. But it doesn't work. It worked before update to kde 4.8.1.
I have also edited kglobalshortcutsrc where resist redundant entries. But whenever i deleted them and then run System Setting they reappear. I really don't know which file/service is responsible for this.
This multimedia key "Launch (1)" is the only one that doesn't work.

Amarok kde library problem [SOLVED]

After the last update I had problems running amarok on gnome. Trying to start from the terminal returned various lib errors (libkhtml.so.4 , libkdeui etc.) running "pacman -S kdelibs3" seems to solve the problem. Hope it helps if anyone out there having the same issue...

Had the same problem.
kdelibs3 was installed, but I had to reinstall it to fix the problem.

Get data from KDE Notifications and Jobs or preliminary catching it

Hi,
I have next issue, I need in value of copying/cuting progress at Dolphin, and i can't find right interface to get it.
I found in this moment, that when copying starts, new item appears at next places of dbus:
org.kde.VisualNotifications /JobViewServer/JobView_(any number)
org.kde.NotificationHost /JobViewServer/JobView_(any number)
org.kde.plasma-desktop /JobViewServer/JobView_(any number)
org.kde.JobViewServer /JobViewServer/JobView_(any number)
but they haven't any methods for getting data.
Listed interfaces disappear with copying ends.
I can't find process that send messages to dbus for creating and manage new notification, and catch this messages.
So, does anybody knows how Dolphin communicates with Notifications and Jobs applet? and how can i get current copying progress?
I will be happy for any documentation, api.kde.org not helped me.
Thanks in advance!

I have arch installed in two machines. In my laptop there's no problem with the notification of file transfers (although every time i plug a usb stick/disk i see a double entrty of the disk), but in the desktop machine notifications have stopped working as described above.
