KDE3.0: The Media Player noatun Does Not Play MP3 Files

Support knowledgebase (thallma_noatun_kde3)
Applies to

SuSE Linux: Version 8.0

Symptom

When you click an MP3 file in the file browser Konqueror, the player noatun is started, but the file cannot be played.

Cause

There is a bug in the KDE package kdemultimedia3.

Solution

First, close the player noatun. Restart the sound system as root with the command rcalsasound restart.

Note: As the sound system is restarted, the speaker icon on the KDE panel is removed. To restart this mixer, activate the program kmix.

Now update the kdemultimedia3 package. The latest version of this package is available at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.0/kde1

Install the new package by executing the command:

rpm -Uhv kdemultimedia3-3.0-9.i386.rpm

Log out from the KDE desktop then log in again to use the newer program.
