Description of problem: While using the KDE control center in Red Hat Linux version 9.0 to modify system notification sound files, I tried to change a sound file by clicking on the icon for the file manager utility only to learn that no sound files were listed. These files are indeed there as I used Konqueror to be sure they were, but while trying to change a sound file as described here results in the files not being displayed. Everything is set properly, btw. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Red Hat Linux v-9.0 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot into RH 9.0 2.Open the KDE Control Center 3.Click on Sound & Multimedia 4.Click on System Notification 5.Try to select any non-standard sound file by clicking on the 'folder' icon 6.Work your way thrue the file tree to /usr/share/sounds/ - no sound files shown just directories Actual results: No sound files displayed to choose from - and yet these files are there when view with Konqueror... Expected results: As above Additional info: System is a stock HP Pavilion 750n except for a second HDD installed...
Todat, 4/4/03, I reinstalled Red Hat 9.0 and this "bug" was found to be 'fixed'. Why all wasn't right on my first installation I don't know but please disregard this listing as all is now OK. Thank You, k3ant
Addendum I have since come to learn that there is indeed a bug, as described above, with Red Hat Linux 9.0. For this bug to happen RealPlayer 8.0 needs to be installed! To find this out I re-installed RH 9.0 and added my web browser plugins one by one while checking for these sound files as above. Every time I installed RealPlayer 8.0 the sound files as described above were no longer displayed. I tried to versions, or packages, of RealPlayer - one labeled RealPlayer7 and the other labeled RealPlayer8 but when installed both are listed as RealPlayer7. I cannot be the only person/system to experience this... Mike
