    Notification Sounds Disappeared after updates to KDE 4.8.1

    Hello again. After updates to 4.8.1, all notification sounds stopped working. Note that beforehand, I used the command from a post in this forum in order to fix them. How do I get the sounds back now?

    Use the same command...the bug is still apparently present. I've now put it in a small shell script so that I can run in whenever an update borks the config.

    Code:
    #!/bin/bash
    for j in /usr/share/kde4/apps/*/*.notifyrc
    do
      sudo sed -i 's_Sound=_Sound=file:///usr/share/sounds/_g' $j
    done
    Name it systemsounds.sh, place it in your home directory, and then run
    Code:
    sudo chmod a+x systemsounds.sh
    to make it executable.

    Then run
    Code:
    ~/systemsounds.sh
    whenever you need to apply the fix.

      Thanks very much for that. It works great and my world is not so silent. For those who are not totally familiar with commands, your line to change the shell script to being executable should read

        Thank You. I wanted to make sure that the problem was the same one - You never know in beta releases... The script does work, though I had to troubleshoot the problem after using the same command twice (my bad) I'll mark this solved.

            Folks, looks like this is actually a Qt bug. It's been reported to KDE and also the Kubuntu folks are aware of it.
