 Posted: Wed Mar 08, 2006 2:03 pm Post subject: K Media apps messing with Fluxbox... [Solved] |
 |
|
I am having a problem with k media apps.. if I launch amarok or juk in fluxbox, my system will freeze. I get a little graphics flicker at the clock, and i cant to anything but hard reset, CTRL+ALT+F4 or CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE wont work, the system pretty much freezes up. Both of these apps will run just fine in KDE. Does anyone know what might cause this problem?

Do other KDE apps work fine in fluxbox?
What are your USE flags for these packages?

Other K apps like konqueror will work just fine, its a little sluggish, but nothing to complain about. These are the only 2 K apps that I am having trouble with. Here are the USE flags for both of them...
amarok..
| Code: | | [ebuild R ] media-sound/amarok-1.4_beta2-r1 USE="arts flac gstreamer kde opengl visualization -aac -akode -debug -exscalibar -ifp -ipod -musicbrainz -mysql -noamazon -postgres -real -xine -xinerama -xmms" |
juk
| Code: | | [ebuild R ] kde-base/juk-3.5.1 USE="arts gstreamer mp3 -debug -flac -kdeenablefinal -musicbrainz -vorbis -xinerama" 0 kB |

Is arts running? They may be getting upset if it isn't and refusing to start because of it.

Well, I can startx with root, and launch amarok and it will work just fine. I launched ssh from my other box, and ran amarok on this one, and top showed me that X was taking 68% + processor, and flux was taking 32%+ processor... After I killall amarok, it will go back to normal. I am still very confused. I dont that that arts or alsa has anything to do with starting the application rather then when I hit the play button. (at least, thats when you get the errors about your sound server, when you hit the play button)

The problem was just solved, for future reference, be carful of your choice of themes in fluxbox, the theme I was using was the cause of the problem. bunker-one-xpm and bunker-one are both themes you should not use in fluxbox.

Thanks! I was having the same problem and sure enough.. I'm using bunker-one-xpm.
Too bad.. I like that theme 
Switched and it's working perfectly now. Thanks

Fluxbox has made many changes, I would stay away from the portage theme package and check the release dates of the themes that you use. The new problem I ran into was the "No background" bar at the top of the screen. It's was sure enough theme based too.. Weird, but themes are crazy. I am thinking about going with the new XFCE or maybe going with Ion3. Less problems.

The bunker-one-png style seems to work fine. Have either of you tried it instead?

I'm also having this problem, and the proposed fix works for me, too.

I find that Akregator also causes the same problem. This should not at all be happening! I'm submitting a bug report to Gentoo, then to fluxbox, because this sounds like a fluxbox problem to me. |
