Hi all,
I'm quite a newbie, so please bear with me. I don't use sound too
much, so I'm not sure when this happened, but my sound stopped working.
I'm using KDE 3.1.4-5, with FC1, although I don't get any sound with
Gnome, either. I have found that other users are getting sound,
however. I've gone into the KDE control center and turned on all
messages. Now, when I log in, I get the following message:
Sound server warning message:
Can't set real-time scheduling priority.
You need to run artswrapper as root or
setuid root. This means that you will
likely not be able to produce acceptable
sound (i.e. without clicks and breaks)
I've run 'ps -A' and can't find artswrapper running at all. I've also
googled for a solution, but all I've found so far are lots of others
with sound problems.
Recent modifications (I don't know if these were before or after the
sound problems) include:
java installation
normal up2date updates
Thanks for any help,
Dick
Try this:
ls -l /usr/bin/artswrapper = -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5700 Oct 23 2003 /
As root # chmod 6755 /usr/bin/artswrapper
gives artswrapper setuid root and should cure your artsd.
