Bug Description

Binary package hint: kdemultimedia

I have fresh installed KUbuntu 11.04 alpha 3 with all updates, after first login kmix window was ok, but it becomes empty (e.g. no sliders, tabs, only menu) when I install and activate russian langpack. If I switch kmix language back to english then its ok again.

New information for this bug. The problem is in ~/.kde/share/config/kmixrc file. Part of strings in this file contains names of audio devices transtated into russian (e.g. "Устройства_воспроизведения_звука" instead of "Playback_Devices") and "?" symbols in device sections. I have replaced this names with English and all is ok. But kmix rewrites config file during launch and all errors comes back. Now I have set 444 rights on this file and kmix works fine, but shows warning about insufficient rihgts on startup. So, we need to remove some extra lines from kmix translation.

Workaround: when the KMix application language is set to English, the problem goes away.
