Hi,
Last night I did an update, and it installed the entire gnome desktop along with my regular updates! I certainly didn't ask for it! It did the same thing on my wifes kubuntu system last week (I don't update as often as I should ).
After the update (when I turned it on this morning) my sound didn't work at all. I discovered I had pulse running (my system has never liked pulse), but I didn't purge it, I just removed it. Then I checked the audio settings in system settings and they were the same as always. My first selection tested fine. I did get an error, initially, from kde that sound wasn't working, but after I got rid of pulse and rebooted the login sound was back. So far, so good. But I still wasn't getting sound from vlc or amarok.
I manually selected alsa for both the audio dropdowns in vlc (the "system default" settings didn't work) and saved and that did it for vlc, but the only settings in amarok are kde, and they remain the same (on the surface at least) as they always were. Audio works fine in firefox and the qmmp audio player, so I'm guessing there's a config entry somewhere for amarok trying to pipe the audio through pulse.
When I open amarok in the terminal I get an error message stating that my audio device (the working, preferred one) is not working. I also get a ibus error (QFileSystemWatcher: failed to add paths: /home/chris/.config/ibus/bus
Bus:pen: Can not get ibus-daemon's address.
IBusInputContext::createInputContext: no connection to ibus-daemon ) but that's another issue (I think).
I'm pretty sure there was an amarok update in that last one...but I'm not positive. My version is 2.4.0, and I'm using kde 4.4.5. I'm running lucid with backported 2.6.35-30 generic kernel, and I'm pretty sure (I should know, I know...) I've got backported alsa drivers, too, but I've forgotten how to check the version.
Any ideas?
