Problemo
« on: 24 August 2002, 19:35 »
I seem to have me a wee little problem. I installed Mandrake 8.2 on a PC and it worked fine, then i installed kde 3.02 on it, i logged out and back in and kde loaded up just fine. Great.

Next time i logged in though an error popped up during kde init. arts was saying that it was being denied access to /dev/dsp and it would instead output to /dev/null. So ahh i have no sound.

Do I just need to change the access rights for /dev/dsp ?

More than bloody likely.  But why'd it change it in the first place?

n/m I have fixed it.
I did...

Code: [Select]

Is that safe to do?
I think it is because it is only sound, right?

OF course it's safe - at the worst it'll need a reinstall, right?

We are Linux people here, therefore...
problems != reinstall

Of course you won't have to reinstall, but you might have to do a boot: rescue at the install prompt on the CD and do a cp (I think) to restore it.  But as you said, it's only sound, right?

i think he meant safe as in other people gaining access to his sound. I figure the worst that could happen if someone possibly got access to your computer would be someone sending swear words through your sound. But if someone was in your computer you'd have bigger problems than that.

(or they oculd send some loud noise to blow your speackers (and ears))
