"KDE detected that one or more internal devices were ..."

[paulmw]

I keep getting this "nagging screen" popping up every time I use Mint13.
A very impressive OS! - 4 or 5 years LTS and yet still only Gnome2 thank heavens - none of that weird Gnome3/Unity taskbar across the top of the nonconfigurable screen stuff.

KDE detected that one or more internal devices were removed.
Do you want KDE to permanently forget about these devices?
This is the list of devices KDE thinks can be removed:
Capture: USB Device 0x46d:0x80a (USB Audio)
Capture: USB Device 0x46d:0x80a (USB Audio)
Capture: USB Device 0x46d:0x80a (USB Audio)
Capture: USB Device 0x46d:0x80a (USB Audio)
Capture: USB Device 0x46d:0x80a (USB Audio)
Capture: Xonar STX (Multichannel)
Output: HD-Audio Generic, HDMI 0 (HDMI Audio Output)
Output: Xonar STX (Multichannel)

[Checkbox] Do not ask again for these devices

In spite of always checking the "Do not ask..." checkbox it always keeps popping up

It's fairly obviously only because the amp that the (beautiful) Xonar soundcard is plugged into isn't turned on.

And the audio works fine in the various player apps when that amp is switched on.

I've looked for something like a "Phonon config" file with no luck so far.
And of course I'd never risk "...permanently forget about...".

It's only a very minor glitch but does anybody have any idea how to stop this annoying quirk?

TIA uplines

this is a known bug, the Phonon devs are working on it.
Which they fixed. So what version of KDE are you using?
As had that issue in KDE 4.9.5 but disappeared in 4.10.
.

Thanx for that Orbmiser.

When I run: kded4 --version
which is what it seems one has to do to find out what KDE is running, it comes up with:

Qt: 4.8.1
KDE Development Platform: 4.8.5 (4.8.5)
KDE Daemon: $Id$

I guess that means it's running 4.8.5 - correct?

So how do I go about upgrading to 4.10?

[paulmw]

Well - it seems to be doing it now as I write this

By entering :
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

which will hopefully get it up to KDE 4.10.

It's quite a massive download!
I see the odd "Phonon..." in there so hopefully that niggle will now be fixed!

But after doing all that and running "kded4 --version" again it's still coming up as 4.8.5
Is this because I entered N (which it says is the default setting) when it was trying to rewrite the various config files??

No - no worries after the Update Manager had finished doing its act it's now coming up with:
Qt: 4.8.2
KDE Development Platform: 4.10.1
KDE Daemon: $Id$

Great - got there in the end

[paulmw]

No - it's still going on popping up exactly the same "niggle screen" dammit.
Even after upgrading to KDE 4.10 as was suggested by Orbmiser and as I described doing earlier.

Is there any way to change a "config file" somewhere to stop this happening??
