Slackware :: Using XFCE Got The Event Sounds To Work?
Jan 24, 2011
I know that this not a Slackware question, but since Slackware 13.1 has XFCE 4.6.2 in its standard installation I just ask here. I have a problem with the event sounds in XFCE 4.6.2 on Debian Sid. I already have a thread about this problem here, and couldn't solve it till now. I need to know if this issue is related to Debian or to XFCE, before I ask at the XFCE mailing list. So just one simple question: Has any one of you that is using XFCE got the event sounds to work?

I was over in the Desktop forum yesterday and apparently 'event sounds' are available for Xfce and are part of the original package, but I've never seen them made available, that is, the switch to turn them on isn't where it is suppose to be, in any Slackware specific package of Xfce.I've used 4.61 that came with Slackware64 13.1, 4.61 from the Salix depository, 4.62 from Mr. Workman, 4.62 from 'current' and recently 4.8 from Mr. Workman. None of these make the 'event sounds' available.

I recently gave XFCE a try, after using Openbox for a long time and I really like it, so that I think I will switch totally to XFCE. All is working fine, except one thing: I really would like to have event sounds.
So I launched the Appearance-Module and checked under the Settings-tab both Enable event sounds and Enable input feedback sounds. Following the tooltip for the event sounds I also installed libcanberra, but I get absolutely no event sound.
[Code]...
I thought, maybe there is a lack of a sound theme, so I also installed freedesktop-sound-theme, but that didn't help. I did already searched with Google and in this forum, but have found nothing that would help me. I would be very happy if anyone can give me an advice what to check or has a link to a tutorial for this sounds.

With /usr/bin/canberra-gtk-play set to --id='desktop-login' in the startup Applications dialog one expects a sound to play at login. This is not the case with fedora 12. I set the variable to --file=/home/me/sounds/myloginsound and I got sound.
I'm curious as to why the event id failed. I suspect that id was not linked/associated with any sound before fedora 12 was released. How does one troubleshoot sound event ids and their associated sounds in f12.
I'd like to get audio when I log out as well. I recall seeing a dialog box with events and associated sounds in f11 (or was it f10?) .... I don't see it in f12
1. Does anyone know which package adds that functionality?
2. In the absence of a GUI approach, how can this be achieved (with the terminal)?

Ever since 9.04 or thereabouts, I have noticed that it's impossible to change individual system event sounds in System -> Preferences -> Sounds. It only gives me a few lame choices of "themes". While it used to be possible to define my own sounds for startup, shutdown, new e-mail, etc, I can't find ANY dialog to facilitate this in newer versions of Ubuntu.
A question: HOW do I do this without having to hack apart my stock system sounds? There should be a way, but google and forum searching turns up nothing.
A comment: Ubuntu continuing to "nerf" their dialogs like this is infuriating, especially when the underlying system works so well. I actually don't know if Ubuntu or Gnome is responsible, but either way taking away rock-bottom basic functionality like this only hurts the OS and Linux's cause.

Before karmic while I was using Jaunty, I used to do it all the time, play my favorite sounds wherever I was them, startup, error, login, logout, etc etc... I found it in System>Preferences>Sound...
But when I do the same in Karmic, the opening dialogue box doesn't give me an option to change every sound specifically, instead, although it gives me option to choose a sound theme of my own. But for that I must first compile a theme and then install it / place it in sound themes directory etc etc.
How would I change sounds for particular events without having to compile a whole new theme (customizing the current Ubuntu sound theme)...
how do I create sound themes for Ubuntu and them install them in my Ubuntu?

I've been using opensuse for about a week.(although I'm not completely a linux noob) I've been slowly moving more of the stuff I do on windows over to suse. I thought my sound was working fine until I decided to get mp3s running on amarok. I followed a bunch of guides which didn't work. While I was messing around with stuff I noticed a startup noise. I just assumed it didn't have a startup noise. At some point I broke all of my sound except running wine, so I reinstalled.
Now that I've noticed, none of my notification sounds work. Stuff like skype, firefox, and wine still give me sounds.
(If anyone could point me in the direction of a good place to get mp3s working on amarok would be nice as well.)

I have a HP laptop model HP G72 Notebook PC, Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 CPU M 350 @2.27GHz & the Sound devices are Intel(R) Display Audio & Realtek High Definition Audio.
This machine came loaded with Windows7 & I have successfully dual booted it with Ubuntu Lucid 10.04.3.
The problem I am having is that I cannot get the sound to work at all in Ubuntu. No opening sounds or anything else that I have tried. No Web sounds, no CD sounds... All sounds work fine on the Windows side, but nothing I have tried so far seem to work with Ubuntu & I have tried many options from many threads.

I don't know why this happen. In Slackware 13 it worked fine.
This is the output:
Code:
QGtkStyle was unable to detect the current GTK+ theme.

I'm using -current (xfce-4.6.2) I've noticed that the shortcuts I define aren't working anymore. The ones I define through windowmanager -> keyboard are ok, but the ones through keyboard-> application shortcuts are ignored.

I originally installed Ubuntu 10.10 in my computer, but as it is an older machine, it was too heavy for it. Threfore, I installed the xubuntu-desktop package available at the Synaptics package manager. From then on, my system began behaving pretty much like a pure Xubuntu 10.10, or at least as I think it should be. I still have the option of selecting between a Xubuntu and an Ubuntu session at start up.
That said, there is a little thing that is annoying me. While the sound in Ubuntu sessions are just fine, it is too quiet in Xubuntu ones. Let me elaborate: I think that the maximum volume is the same, but while Ubuntu's volume curve is a straight born from an arithmetic progression one, Xubuntu's sounds like a curve born from a geometric progression, that is, it is too quiet at lower levels, reaching its maximum very abruptly. I control sound using volume keys, and the computer reaches maximum volume in 20 pressess. While in a quiet place I can reach a nice, audible volume at 3 pressess in Ubuntu, in Xubuntu I only start hearing something at the 10th or 11th press.Is there any way to make Xubuntu's volume control behave like Ubuntu's?

Like for instance, if I have Ubuntu Lucid Lynx installed with XFCE, and it has an applications made for XFCE. will the applications also work on say some other distro like, Wolvix, that is an XFCE-based distro~????
What I am trying to say is: Do applications that are made for XFCE, work on ANY distro that has XFCE installed?

I was using V9 and upgrade to V10 and now my logins in my inittab do not work. I realize that is file structure is outdated so I made individual run files for each of my serial devices under event.d ( such as TX0000 - rc....etc) - all this works but i need to manual type initctl start TX000o to get logon for my serial devices. I would so much like them to automatically start on bootup.

I recently installed Slackware Linux 13.1 , and my Wireless is down. I've only installed 3 Linux disto's on my main laptop (Ubuntu 9.10 , 10.04 , and Crunchbang Linux 9.04 , just had Crunchbang), and they all had the same problem. In all three , I was able to enable Windows Wireless drivers and every thing worked. Now , I'm assuming I have to the same ting in Slackware? Sorry , but I have no idea what my wireless card is. But I know that my laptop is a Dell Insprion E1705. One last thing , I did ifconfig and that wlan0 is my Wi-Fi interface. I typed ifconfig wlan0 up to see if that was the problem. After I did that , I got and error message. Then I typed ifconfig wlan0 down to see if it was down and it made wlan0 down. I tried bringing it up again , but I got an error saying it couldn't find the device specified. Also , how do I install XFCE? I really don't like KDE for some reason and would like to install XFCE. I chose XFCE over GNOME (my favorite) because I want to try something new.

I recently logged into my Slackware 13.1 account and when I issued the "startx" command , there was no toolbar at the bottom and I couldn't see my mouse. I was able to click on a short-cut on my desktop , and my mouse came back. I can't open any thing except VirtualBox. When I open it , the top is cut off , so the minimize , maximize and close buttons are cut-off . I really have no idea what to do.P.S. I have XFCE instead of KDE

I've lost all sound output. Still works in xp. As root, reran alsaconf, alsamixer and alsactl store. No effect. Run xmms and all is normal except no sound; it plays the file, shows its title, the visual display is active as usual.Is there something I could have done that would mute all sound output?

Sound card: VIA VT1828S (on-board)
Slackware 13.1 (occurs in 32bit and 64bit)
kernel "2.6.33.4 #2 SMP Tue Sep 21 17:28:38 CDT 2010 x86_64"
Video card also has HDMI port + thus has shows as another sound device (ATI HD5670)
Symptom: My audio in Amarok randomly fails.
Ok, it's not exactly random. I'll play a few dozen songs just fine. I'll pause/stop, then try to unpause or play another song later on - no sound.
If I go to the amarok settings, and "configure phenom", it shows "VIA VT1828S" - I click test, and it says the VIA VT1828S has failed.
However, I can still use 'play' from the command line. I still get sound in certain other apps (flash player / firefox).

In 13.1, I added these lines to /etc/rc.d/rc.local
Code:
su - g -c startx
firefox
xrvt
jedit
kwrite
Everything starts except jedit. Yet when I put jedit in at the terminal, it starts normally. But jedit in rc.local does do something, it mutes all sounds for all users. Googling the problem produced only the ideas that $JAVA_HOME or $PATH was the problem. But I don't believe that is so in this case:
Code:
root@darkstar:~# echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/lib/java/bin:/usr/lib/java/jre/bin:/usr/lib/java/bin:/usr/lib/kde4/libexec:/usr/lib/qt/bin:/usr/share/texmf/bin
root@darkstar:~# echo $JAVA_HOME
/usr/lib/java
root@darkstar:~# su g
g@darkstar:/root$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin
g@darkstar:/root$ echo $JAVA_HOME
/usr/lib/java
g@darkstar:/root$
But even if it were, why should the command to start Jedit produce different actions depending on whether it is executed in a script or at a terminal?

Slackware 13.1 XFCE. I've come across a strange problem which i've never had before on Slackware. I decided to set a desktop up for my sister. Being girls as they are she wanted to change the wallpaper. I showed her how, however when the machine is restarted the wallpaper turns back to default. In all my slack machines around here, i just simply right click on the desktop and change it. That makes it persistent throughout boots. I'm obviously missing something.

My sound was working fine except I couldn't get system sounds (notifications) to work. So I decided to install pulseaudio to see if it would fix it. Now I get system sounds and my other sounds, but now in most things (such as firefox and warcraft 3) the sound is choppy. I've tried SDB:AudioTroubleshooting - openSUSE and a couple other things I've googled but it's not working for me. I'd like to be able to fix it or at least go back to the way it was.

I heard Slackware 13.37 came with XFCE and KDE, but uses KDE as the default. I've used KDE as the default on Debian, so I'm wondering how I switch to XFCE on Slackware.

OS = Slackware 13.1
I'm normally a KDE user but tried xfce4 and found that it works nicely. I wanted to switch to it for a while. I did find one particular problem: When you try and end the session, you can Log Out but can not Restart or Shutdown. If you click on Restart or Shutdown it asks for password Even after entering a valid password, it will not allow the action.
(I tried user and root's passwords.) It says "Please enter your password." After entering the password it says, "Either the password you entered is invalid, or the system administrator disallows shutting down this computer with your user account." (Before you ask; my user is in power group.)
I tinkered with it for a while and decided it must have something to do with KDM and so I switched my default runlevel to 3 and started xfce4 [via startx] and it worked as expected. Next I tried using xdm instead of kdm and YES, it works as expected. I was able to Restart or Shutdown (no asking for password, it just does it.) What is it about KDM that does not allow xfce4 to restart or shutdown?

Again when I was working under Xfce system hangs up. Earlier I had similar problems but under KDE so I blamed KDE for that. I am sure that there is something wrong with an access to external input devices. Some kind of a broken connection. I am using a USB keyboard but the same happened with PS/2 keyboard. Two flashing leds, I guess, indicate that device is no longer supported by the system. The only hope for an access to the system is via external wired connection. The other possibilities, I am thinking of, are hardware problems with PCI-bus or a virus affecting on a hardware level.

I installed almost the complete install. I left off Apache, MySQL and PHP since I wanted to do them myself (which I did and it went fine). I selected KDE as the window manager but now I want to try xfce. When I boot up, I'm left at the command prompt and have to login (probably does that for everybody) then I run startx. That brings up my KDE. Are the xfce components installed and can I use something else to bring up that desktop? Or can I install it and then bring it up at the command after login?
