Kdemod: Slow logout?

Hello again..

I've been using arch for a few weeks now, and I've got KDEmod as my fav. desktop at the moment.  My problem is the logging out.  On 2 different machines, kdemod is slow to log out even though everything is responsive.  The standard KDE was normal and quick to log out, but kdemod now seems to take 10 - 20 seconds before it actually does start to log out.

Anyone else experience this or have any tips?

Thanks,
Shane

Re: Kdemod: Slow logout?

I highly doubt that is the case.  This has been reproducible since I first installed kdemod.  As I said, normal KDE logs out (logout/shutdown/reboots) quickly.  Kdemod, while being more responsive in every other aspect, seems to have a delay before the actual logout starts happening.

That has happened to me to, but only sometimes.. It always shows the battery icon on the top left when its slow on the logout.. I think it doesnt close correctly or something..

Well... I think I may have found a solution: http://kdemod.ath.cx/bbs/viewtopic.php?id=39

Give that a look jinn, and see if that helps you.  I'll be testing over the next few days.

Re: Kdemod: Slow logout?

hmm....I have "play" set as my external player and I am not having the slow logout problems.... Could it be that sox needs to be installed for those having this problem?

Re: Kdemod: Slow logout?

Installing sox seems to resolve the problem.  Putting it on KDE settings worked fine too.  Trying aplay, however, gave me gargled noise instead of the proper kde sounds.

Mind explaining why use an external player at all?  And why sox?

Thanks!
