After upgrade sound has stopped working, but I can hear the kde greeting sound at startup. I have noticed that
I cannot play youtube video anymore via konqueror (it used the HTML5 protocol, which is now broken).

Hi Mauro!

The fact that you can hear the KDE greeting at startup means that you have
either a configuration issue or some missing package.

Which phonon backend are you currently using?

Kinds regards, Lisandro.

I suspect you think it is similar to another bug I have read about.
Anyway, maybe it can help, after upgrade I have noticed:
1. kmix won't start
2. konqueror won't use html5

Ok, let's see this.

This is most surely something else. If after fixing the sounds continues,
please feel another bug for it.
Your system is not fully upgraded. This package is now a transitional dummy
package, as you can see here:

$ LANG=C aptitude show phonon-backend-xine
Package: phonon-backend-xine

Description: transitional package to aid switching to phonon-backend-vlc
 This is a transitional dummy package to aid switching to phonon-backend-vlc.
It can be safely removed.
Homepage: http://phonon.kde.org/

Please finish updating your system and feel free to reopen this bug if you
still can reproduce it.

If you need further assistance, please do not heasitate to join #debian for
general stuff and #debian-kde for KDE specific stuff on IRC, server
irc.debian.org

Oh, I'm **terribly** sorry, I missed the fact that your bug was against
squeeze, not wheezy. Please accept my apologies.

Now this is strange, do you remeber which packages did you upgrade last? I
will help us to narrow down the problem.

Do you know how to get the package list of my upgrade? I only remember it
was a massive upgrade with many many kde packages and the linux kernel...
Since then I have tried to reinstall some kde packages with no success...

Saddly not, there is no way I know of getting this list. But on the other
hand, the latest KDE upload to stable was on September of 2011.

Did you upgrade from Lenny perhaps? Or was it an installation prior to that
date?

You didn't run anything here, and you are using root.
This all seems a problem in your setup. Have you tried creating a new user?

I recommend you to search for help in mailing lists like debian-
kde@lists.debian.org or maybe on irc on #debian

ok, as user I get a similar but shorter response:

mauro@aiace:~$ QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before
QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave.
QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication.

and nothing else, it seems stopped...
well, if you are convinced it is a wrong setting then I will follow your
advice.

thank you

I deleted kmix (which refused to start) and installed the "veromix" applet to
get volume control. This solved my two issues:

1. no volume control because kmix did not start

2. the desktop system was freezed until the kde greeting sound, maybe, I
guess, because kmix was trying to start (now the desktop system is responsive
and ready to start programs before the kde greeting sound).

I Hope this helps.
