Either bug 2844 or 2845, most likely the second one. http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=2844 http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=2845
If you didn't have all arts/tdemultimedia packages installed (perhaps because of a selective installation), playing OGG files was crashing the sound server.
I think I had it all, and haven't added anything tde related recently.
Actually it was probably bug 2844. The vorbis OGG plugin was simply "nuking" your input, i.e. reading the file without playing any sound. Depending on which package was installed or not, that plugin would have been used to play the login sound.
Glad you are enjoying the fix :-)
Yes, and because in my excitement over its working, I neglected to start ~/bin/mailwatcher after the reboot, which starts fetchmail for me, and links the incoming email directly into kmail, I did not get the first thank you message back, and just now sent another when I saw there had been no incoming while I was taking a morning nap. Fixed, 31 fetched when fetchmail was launched.
Why don't you set it to start automatically when you log into TDE? So you won't forget again.
Cheers Michele
