System sounds

[Georgi Kourtev]

Good evening,

From some time ago -- may be after the 4.8.1 upgrade, my system sounds
disappeared (i.e. these during login, new mail, dialogues, etc). All other
sound are fine -- I can use Amarok, video, skype, embed video in Firefox alike.

In System setting all seems to be right. What am I missing here? Thanks.

Same happened here after 4.8.1 upgrade. Had to go to System Settings and set
the full path to each sound file for it to work.
My guess is that it is a packaging error.

I put a quick shell script up on Kubuntu Forums that quickly fixes this. I
suspect it will keep breaking as more updates come out until the underlying
bug gets fixed.

Hm... well, I noticed today that _some_ sounds disappeared, and I ran my
script, which fixed those sounds but broke others. Then I noticed that a recent
batch of updates fixed the pointers for a few, so my script essentially added a
double-pointer.

I fixed that on my PC this morning and everything's good again. Let's take a
look at your sound configs and see if you're having the same problem. Please
run:

grep Sound /usr/share/kde4/apps/*/*.notifyrc

and then copy-paste the output of that into a reply to this message. Thanks.

Yup, same thing I ran into today. Here's how I fixed it.

Run the following command. My email client wraps, but it should be a single
line. Note that there is a space following the "-i".

for j in /usr/share/kde4/apps/*/*.notifyrc; do sudo sed -i
's_Sound=file:///usr/share/sounds/_Sound=_g' $j; done

That will remove the extraneous "file:///" stuff. Check the results with the
same command I mentioned earlier:

grep Sound /usr/share/kde4/apps/*/*.notifyrc

If you still see "file:///" in any of the lines, run the "for" command again,
and check the results with the "grep" command. Lather/rinse/repeat until there
are no more lines with "file:///".

Ultimately what you'll end up with are lines that show "Sound=filename" with no
path. Now to get everything fixed with the correct path, run the original
script I posted on KFN.

Run the following command. My email client wraps, but it should be a single
line. Note that there is a space following the "-i".

for j in /usr/share/kde4/apps/*/*.notifyrc; do sudo sed -i
's_Sound=file:///usr/share/sounds/_Sound=_g' $j; done

That will remove the extraneous "file:///" stuff. Check the results with the
same command I mentioned earlier:

grep Sound /usr/share/kde4/apps/*/*.notifyrc

If you still see "file:///" in any of the lines, run the "for" command again,
and check the results with the "grep" command. Lather/rinse/repeat until there
are no more lines with "file:///".

Ultimately what you'll end up with are lines that show "Sound=filename" with no
path. Now to get everything fixed with the correct path, run the original
script I posted on KFN.

Thanks.  I did that and I got rid off all all file:/// stuff.  But after running the script, I see the file:/// lines again. Is this how it should be? See copy below.

Yes. There should be only one "file:///" for each line.

Some weeks ago, a KDE update changed all the default .notifyrc files and the
paths to the sound files were eliminated. I cobbled together that script on KFN
to fix the problem -- much quicker than hand-editing each file or using the GUI.

Every once in a while, an update would revert the .notifyrc files to their
broken state, so I'd have to run the script again.

It appears now that some, but not all, of the .notifyrc files are fixed. So
today's update resulted in some correct paths and some incorrect paths. When I
ran my script, the incorrect paths were fixed; the already-correct paths
received an extra "file:///" because my script is not smart enough to check
whether such an entry is already there :) And if you look at your prior email,
you'll lines with two "file:///" bits.

So by following the procedure I described, all your .notifyrc files are correct
as of right now. Who knows what'll happen with the next batch of updates. I
guess I should make my little script a bit smarter...

Your script is smart enough for me being a 'behind the keyboard only interface'. After reboot all sounds are fine.  Thanks a million!
