Description Conrad Bebbington 2005-10-05 16:23:15 UTC

The entries on the K menu created when ALSA-tools is installed use the
CheckHardware program. However this is not installed with ALSA-tools, this
problem could be fixed by adding CheckHardware to the dependencies for ALSA-tools.

Comment 1 Takashi Iwai 2005-10-06 15:52:52 UTC

alsa-tools itself doesn't require CheckHardware.
For example, I can start programs from IceWM menu using provided desktop files.
So, the problem seems to be KDE specific.

I pass this to KDE maintainers.

Comment 2 Dirk Mueller 2005-11-23 13:41:50 UTC

which entries in particular ? just did a standard 10.0 installation with alsa-tools and can't find related menu entries..

Comment 3 Conrad Bebbington 2005-11-23 16:48:49 UTC

KMenu -> Multimedia -> Volume control

This issue is probably due to me using the SUPER cd to install and then getting alsa-tools from the ftp (using Yast to ensure that all dependences are ok).

Comment 4 Dirk Mueller 2005-11-23 16:59:54 UTC

ahso. 

thats "kmix". its an alsa-tools thingie then.

Comment 5 Takashi Iwai 2005-11-23 17:04:26 UTC

No, kmix is in kdemultimedia3.

Comment 6 Conrad Bebbington 2005-11-23 20:11:18 UTC

Sorry I have no idea why I didnt put envy24control on the end of that menu
KMenu -> Multimedia -> Volume control -> something like control for envy24 (im not runnong suse at the moment so cant remember exactly)

Comment 7 Dirk Mueller 2005-11-23 23:07:02 UTC

yes, envy24control references CheckHardware. reassigning to maintainer. KDE/kmix has nothing to do with it.

Comment 8 Takashi Iwai 2005-11-24 11:12:50 UTC

No, please read again the comment #1.  The stuff in alsa-tools doesn't call CheckHardware at all, i.e. the desktop file of envy24control has no reference to CheckHardware.  It's KDE (kicker?) who calls CheckHardware.  IIRC, the information is taken from PDB entry.

The only question is which to add CheckHardware to Requires, alsa-tools or KDE.  IMO, KDE should have it because it's the very one who calls it explicitly.
That's why I reassigned to you from the beginning...

Comment 9 Dirk Mueller 2005-11-24 17:34:05 UTC

Its alsa-tools-gui that calls it. 

/usr/share/applications/envy24control.desktop contains: 
Exec=CheckHardware --sound envy24control

-> reassigning to maintainer.

Comment 10 Takashi Iwai 2005-11-24 18:06:32 UTC

Oh, it's suse_update_desktop_file.sh adding it automatically at %install...

Adrian, how packages-sound file is generated for update-desktop-files?  If it comes from PDB, I'll remove the attribute.  The apps in alsa-tools check the audio devices by themselves.

Comment 11 Takashi Iwai 2006-01-05 19:07:15 UTC

Fixed pdb entries.
