Tim, Darrell, Slavek, All, I have artsd running on this install, but kmix cannot find any sound backend running: 449 ? S 0:03 \_ tdelauncher [tdeinit] --new-startup 460 ? S 0:24 \_ twin [tdeinit] -session 10d7cdd8c9000139108311200000009720000_1391 479 ? S 1:32 \_ /opt/trinity/bin/artsd -F 10 -S 4096 -s 60 -m artsmessage -c drkonqi -l 3 -f kmix has the red crossed-out circle over it in the tray and when opened, you have no option of choosing any backend sound server. I have screenshot of them both. What should I attempt to try and get kmix working? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
