Packageinstallation isolation.
Good time of the day. Is there a way/trick how i can install a 3rd party package in some kind of isolation from whole system -- so that its binaries can not access any files of whole OS -- being confined in usage only to one (list of) user(s)? Because there is plenty of software even packaged for Debian, but it risky to use as is. On other hand compiling is not the easiest solution. Thanks for your time.

G ood time of the day. I wonder how a user can install adobe flash player (library?) for chromium himself - in case the OS's one is outdated?! Currently Debian wiki tells that it can be achieved though update-non-free-something install - but what about users' own installation?! - At adobe web site said that the user has to download a tar.gz from the web site - then put *.so file (the biggest) into chromium plug-in directory. But the problem is that there is no such a dir. So, question is, Is it possible - for users to put the downloaded player to their homes and thus be happy - w/o a need for root to be involved?! Check if the user home directory has a hidden .moziila/plugins directory. This is one of several defaults that browsers search for plugins. If not, add it, place the flash player plugin in it and see what happens. I've downloaded the .tar.gz player, finally I got: ~/.moziila/plugins/libflashplayer.so But chromium still asks for new version of FlashPlayer. Other places that are searched are /usr/lib (or lib64)/mozilla/plugins, the browser's install directory which may be in /local or /opt instead of /usr, but they all require root access to copy files there. Putting to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins dose the trick whereas /usr/local/lib/mozilla/plugins dose not. Do You have any ideas on local home dir - why it does not work putting the lib there ( ~/.moziila/plugins )?

Installing flash player into user's home dir. for chromium.
Good time of the day. I wonder how a user can install adobe flash player (library?) for chromium himself - in case the OS's one is outdated?! Currently Debian wiki tells that it can be achieved though update-non-free-something install - but what about users' own installation?! - At adobe web site said that the user has to download a tar.gz from the web site - then put *.so file (the biggest) into chromium plug-in directory. But the problem is that there is no such a dir. So, question is, Is it possible - for users to put the downloaded player to their homes and thus be happy - w/o a need for root to be involved?!

Re: Sharing sound between users on wheezy.
Good time of the day, Andrei. Thank You, Andrei, for Your time and answer. You wrote: Since as far as I understand you need JACK anyway I suggest you configure the system around it. Let it take control of your sound card and make sure any other applications output directly to it. Most modern applications should be able to do that (I only checked mplayer2 in wheezy though). Good idea but how to achieve that?! As I understand, the jackd should be run not under root and then clients connect to it, but by each user who needs it. Of course - You can guess - it is impossible w/o my proper setup of multi usage of SB. Hence we return back to my primar question - how to do that?! - I have cited here ALSA file that allows or should allow multi-usage of SB but it seems not to work. So, I'm looking for my set up review - what is wrong/missing and why for some app.s SB multi-usage seems to work, and for others at the same time - no.

Sharing sound between users on wheezy.
Good time of the day, Raffaele.
I could not answer on Your last letter so I have started a new thread.
Among other You wrote:
you should use dmix with the 'ipc_key_add_uid' parameter set to false
to let multiple users share the same device.
The problem now is that I can not achieve multi user SB access. Or
rahter I would say it is but working strange way. - I can play FLAC w/
mplayer2 under one user, at the same time I can pause the playing and
start watching movie w/ mplayer2 under another user. - All works. But
in case no app.s are using SB, I run under yet another user jackd, run
an MIDI editor MusE, then quit it (jackd is still running), I start
mplayer2 for FLAC under the first user - it refuses to play until I
kill jackd from under the third user. Please, do not ask me for the
configuration of the three users - just let's suppose this is the
initial situation.
In other words I see: 2 mplayer2 under 2 users at the same time can
share SB, whereas 1 mplayer2 and 1 jackd under 2 users can not share SB.
All these three users are in the audio group that has its record in
/etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf
/etc/asound.conf :
# This is commented out because if enabled - PCM ceases to work, only
Master works; whereas when disabled - both work. #pcm.!default {

}

Do You have any comments on my setup?
Thanks for Your help.

Re: Running jackd.
Good time of the day, Ralf. Thank You, for Your time and answer. You wrote: If jackd runs with no-realtime, then you obviously need to set up your Debian to enable realtime. Does PAM work? http://jackaudio.org/linux_rt_config It is just me that turned off RT. Actually it works - it was among the steps to perform in order to make running at all. Now as things become clearer, I did turn it on and only play-only mode is still on. BUT! I tried again RoseGarden - it again hanged my system! Ah, purged it finally from my OS - so no system freezes any more. Is hr timer/hpet disabled? $ lsmod | grep snd_hrtimer Seems enabled: snd_hrtimer12604 1 snd_timer 22917 4 snd_seq,snd_pcm,snd_hrtimer ? If it's enabled, then disable it, modprobe -r snd_hrtimer might not do the job, since hr timer is in use. It seems working now - I suppose it was RoseGarden that made the disaster. Now it is gone, and LMMS, MusE seems working. I recommend to use a kernel-rt or at least a full preempted kernel with threadirqs, when doing MIDI work. If you should use external synth to play the MIDI events, then you likely have to tune your Debian more, to get rid of MIDI jitter. If you use internal synth only, there should be no MIDI jitter. Oh, thank You for the information. Will be doing more tuning when MIDI keyboard arrives. Thank You for Your help!

Re: Running sequencer software (was Running jackd).
Good time of the day, Dennis. Thank You, Dennis, for Your time and answer. You wrote: Oh, don't worry. jackd will be around then just as it is today. It's been here for quite some years now and people are actually quite happy with it. No problem. Then the bugs w/ configuration/running will be fixed in jackd. Personally I've never started jackd from the command line, yet. But granted it takes a few tries in qjackctrl to find the right settings. If the jackd process is killed it might be a resource problem with RT being the cause or not. In order to try that you can run jackd and all audio apps as root user, because the root user may always start RT processes. It's been said that it is bad idea to run it that way, troubleshoots can be done another way also. For example, jackd param.s can be non-RT ones. Either that or as it has been said, it's a problem with the sound That what I hope will be solved w/ a time - that the server will auto self configure depending on the s-cards it runs on. card. But then, for midi only you don't need jack. If you want, try That's true - LMMS plays midi or timidity - w/o jack, but other editors (just want to try it - never used before) would not start OR do not output sound from .mid files. out muse, which is really a fine midi sequencer. Start with -a option so it doesn't complain about jackd not running. Than go to settings -- midi devices and set up your midi outputs. This setup is working for me for at least two years now. Have to say though, that I'm running the bleeding edge svn trunk since the muse devs are very quick in adding new features and fixing bugs. Wow! For me too! I just changed the ports to timidity for every track and works! Thank You Dennis! - I would long time guess that the GUI app. has command line parameters! - Oh, why the developers are so users-friendly as to provide not a fall-back (-a option) in case of jackd failure?! - But they rather keep it their app. not usable at all then themselves turn it to use the mode called w/ -a option on CL ! Have thought to fill a page on some Debian wiki relating to the Muse and the jackd problem? To simple steps as to magical -a option and the ports change to timidity running make sense - for the happy jackd users like me! :o) How did You fight w/ ls -l /dev/rtc0 crw--- 1 root root 254, 0 Jan 7 19:12 /dev/rtc0 timer permissions? For me at start time, Muse complains on low timer frequency of ALSA - 250 against its minimum of 500. So how are you going to listen to your midi files? What soundcard are you using and what midi equipment? I run timidity. My sound is old [AMD] nee ATI SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) built-in controller on laptop. That's it.

Re: Running jackd.
Good time of the day, Rob. Thank You, for Your time and answer. You wrote: It might be worthwhile at this point. If it is a bug, but doesn't get fixed in Wheezy, at least maybe you'll learn of a workaround. But before you submit a bug, try on more thing: In qjackctl, hit Setup and take a look at the right-hand column. Specifically, the Interface, Input Device, and Output Device. You have been using hw:0 up until now. If there are others available (hw:1, etc) you may want to try them. No, there is only one interface. But You know what, - I followed the steps in some bug report that we had here a link, - so that I succefully run jackd w/ qjackctl - I had input and output interfaces. What I did was (for the history if one ever will follow this thread): I did turn off RT and set play-only mode (i.e. not record or capture one - do not remember now). BUT! I tried again RoseGarden - it again hanged my system! So, I can not say for now - what is the problem. I understand it is two related to each other software products, but the culprit I can not identify. So I will forbear w/ bug report this time.

Delete QjackCtl.conf and .jackdrc It works some how - but weird. - In messages window it says that the jack server got signal 15 and stops. Yet it hangs in ps command. Also, I see then connection or whatever it is called in qjackctl. When I happily run RoseGarden - it hangs even so well that halts whole my system - nothing except reset helps. I suspect RT is on arena and some software conflict so mighty that can halt whole OS. Honestly, I fear to try. :o) Actually I did not thinks it will be that hard - to run jackd! :o) I probably will forbear here, and wait for year or so - may situation will change w/ jackd - You know it is as w/ PA - terrible, but things slowly change and something else will come instead.

No, It is old laptop built-in sound card based on Azalia something. -p512 is fairly small, although it works for my M-Audio Delta 1010LT. Try -p1024 or -p2048.

Re: mplayer2 does not play MIDI files.
Good time of the day, Rob. Big thanks for Your time and answer! You wrote: You can use timidity for midi files. I wrote this a while back to convert a bunch of midi files to ogg. Beware -- it deletes the midi files after conversion. #!/bin/bash for file in *.mid; do WAVFILE=$(basename $file mid)wav OGGFILE=$(basename $file mid)ogg timidity $file -Ow -o $WAVFILE rm $file ffmpeg -i $WAVFILE -acodec vorbis $OGGFILE rm $WAVFILE done I'm sure there are better ways of doing it. Also, note that it uses ffmpeg. That has been replaced in Debian with something else. ffmpeg is still available in the 3rd-party deb-multimedia repo, but I think you might as well use oggenc instead of ffmpeg anyway. No problem, I will solve that convertion myself. I thought I could play MIDI w/ mplayer2 - I did install/remove a lot of software - thinking it will help me w/ some sound fonts, etc. I too use timidity for playing MIDI.

Re: [OT] I wish to have a mentor
Good time of the day, lina, again. You wrote: Indeed, golden time ... You do agree w/ You! :o) BTW, your message is encouraging. Oh! Last night since I posted I couldn't help following up. Hours later I started to realize something, not some epiphany, but something like I should take more initiative in doing it even many times it's used to be the detour that I pick. Frankly speaking, I feel annoyed about myself among abundant road information still hard to pick the right way. I have noticed the very same thing - when I did search for the info I desired. - I wanted to package a sound software that I use, that is in DMO but not in Debian. So I sought for info on how to package at the first - the thing I never did, and I thought I had to join to multimedia team in order that my packages might be uploaded and therefore used by others. By the way of my searching I have found that there is no single documents that helps me w/ packaging, at least I have found 2 eventually - one speaking about packaging, another - about the way how the software is inserted into Debian project - i.e. git. Also, I have found that I have no need to become a member of a team - there are sponsors/mentors - still mix up these terms - that can upload those packages for me. In short, let not this poorly organized documentation - for a new maintainer - will not discourage You. It is possible that the things will not go w/ the speed You desired them, yet it is possible and worth of doing. Also things can be hard at the first, then it will be much easier as You/me get habit w/ them. Finally, we can organize the documentation for future maintainer generations - once we have doen our own home work. Have a good time!

Do you want to download bigger torrent than your free space? How? You need as much space as your No. I want to feel the space already reserved for torrents. And make so that the space check will not prevent it. torrent because torrent needs your downloaded chunks. Or just select files which you want to download and that occupies (nearly) as much space as your selection. Wow! I did not know that I can choose files to download within single torrent!

Re: rtorrent on low_disk_space.
Good time of the day, Artifex. Thank You for Your time and answer. You wrote: I think you need registration there. I can not find the list! May, You know one? I have really low space but: 1. rtorrent prelocates torrents - therefore, torrents can be and really are downloaded except this check that fight w/ in vain. Here except this check that fight w/ should be read as except this check that *I* fight w/ - missed I. What prelocate means? Preallocate disk space for torrent content? rtorrent takes disk space before it actually fills it w/ torrent data. I.e. torrent can be downloaded just 1% while on the disk it is located for whole 100%. - So, though there is little free space remain, yet the torrent can be successfully downloaded/uploaded already - but the amazing (uncontrollable for me) check, prevents that to happen. 3. I would like to manage it, nevertheless, for example, to put limit to 100 MB instead. Just change 500M to 100M. Or 1M if you like. But recommended not to set it too low because rtorrent checks with a specified interval and if your system fills your disk faster than free space within the interval your disk becomes full earlier than next check. Yes, that I know, thank You. But the problem is that it does not work! - Setting to any lower that 500 MB profits me nothing: it still regards 500 MB limit (default one?) - so, it seems to me either it is a bug or rtorrent just ignores this my setting, though it gives me no error, and the other options that are in the same config. file are read and are in use as I may see. So, question for now: can You test it? - Setting the above option to something less than 500 MB and to use torrent w/ a partition (You may make one w/ tmpfs, say 300-400 MB, just for the test) that has less than that free space?

Good time of the day, Camaleón. You wrote: Then, Ekiga - diver versions + other versions of sound software? Just ideas. Yes, it can be a mix of all them.

Reporting bugs is (more times than I like) discouraging but I find it a must to make things better, regardless the result of the report (fixed/ won't fix/closed/forwarded upstream...). Right, also people come, people go and therefore we never know what their reflection will be. So, it is worth to try. And I saw no more soft phones in Debian from repo.s. There are more (yate, twinkle) but sadly not available for wheezy :-( Out of repos/debian security testing is an issue for me here. - Unless I make a VM where I will use all such programs from diver sources. That's being a bit paranoic but won't convince to do otherwise. For instance, I do trust Mozilla, LibreOffice repositories (or even the kernel sources) as much as I trust Debian's. Of course, I would not install a single file in my main system coming from a unknown/ unreferenced site that provides a .deb :-) I'm really a bit (lot? :o) paranoid - but it comes from sad experience. So far, ekiga is the best option for me, and I would say, most comfortable its GUI comparing w/ the above. Errr, yes. Although I find more confortable/easy to use the old interface. I didn't see those. What do You miss in new version? I miss the way the main window shows the elements, now it's confusing. I think I get less information than using the old Ekiga. Yes, I got same feelings - though I'm new to it - because I think there are not enough options to choose from or to configure, and it misses log - to observe connections. (..) Maybe is that I'm confusing the terms, let's see... Yes, I can have a normal conversation within Ekiga (I hear the called person's voice and he can hear mine and also can take an echo test, sound is cranky and distorted but it works) what does not work is Ekiga or gnome-sound- recorder outputing my one voice from my system speakers while I speak. OK, now it's clear. So echo service proves ability to be heard by called person! In other words: I can't play karaoke but still can have a conversation using a softphone :-) OK. I got it, thanks. (..) OK. Thank You. I just would not install software from non-debian repo.s. In case I will move it to a VM, then I will try it, though do not know when. Fair, but the problem is that not all the packages are available for all of the flavours :-( I know, that's why I'll keep fighting w/ Ekiga - as the best option for Debian currently - the most developed out of Debian available. Until new phones come into Debian. Or much time will pass and I will maintain one in Debian. Yes, but when something fails is time to jump (or at least consider) another options. Odd thing is that Ekiga (the upstream package) is at 3.2.7, the same version it had Squeeze and Wheezy/Sid... there have been no updates for a couple of years? :-? OK. Good advice. I will think what to do - probably, I will try the ones You suggested in a VM - will see how well sound card will work there.

Re: Mic. and softphones [was Voice redirection: from mic. to speakers on wheezy laptop].
Good time of the day, Camaleón. Thank You for Your time and answer. You wrote: Tested. And not good news ;-( I managed to place a call with Ekiga with my usual SIP account and using the integrated mic/speakers from the netbook and it works... but sadly the overall sound was simply terrible, unusuable to keep a conversation. Thinking the problem could be the bad quality of the sound card, I attached my usual Plantronics USB headset, which was detected by the system without problems but still the call sound was very bad (very cranky with a loud background sound). I'm starting to think the problem can be Ekiga itself, because using the same SIP account, with the same headset, going out from the same DSL router and calling the same phone number, in my Lenny system this setup works very well but in Wheezy is impossible to use. May other OS components cause this? Though I do not know what. :o) In brief: consider testing a different SIP/VOIP program. I have searched Debian on soft phones and found ihu (would call sip for me) linphone - fails to run w/ ALSA lib conf.c:4687:(snd_config_expand) Unknown parameters 0 ALSA lib control.c:951:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL default:0 and sflphone - calls but I do not here sound though all volumes on ALSA mixer were high.

It works on my side but as I already told you, is almost unusable. I don't know if Ekiga is the one to blame here but trying with a different softphone won't neither hurt.

Re: Voice redirection: from mic. to speakers on wheezy laptop [was Mic. does not work...].
Good time of the day, Camaleón. Thank You, again, for Your time and answer! You wrote: Oh, what similarity! :o) Have You ever used Your mic. w/ Ekiga -like software - i.e. can You use Your mic. for talking on Internet? - Meaning this chipset hardware. Not from the netbook but from my desktop. I started to use Ekiga with a simple $2.00 microhone that I plugged to the mic input jack located in front of the case. So far so good, this worked fine. As time passed and I found VOIP to be working very good, I then upgraded (bought) a new device (and USB headset) that I simply plugged to one of the USB ports and provided a very high voice quality. Wow! What a setup! I thought You use it w/ 2 jacks. Now, back to the netbook, let me try it. (configuring a sip account) Mmm, I must have some sort of network problem because: - Register is okay - Sound test from Ekiga is okay (ring, incoming calls...) - Placing a call fails (host is not connected) I will have to debug this in deep -time permitting- and tell you the results. OK. I try to use my mic. w/ Ekiga - tried to test it w/ its test numbers - one should echo my speech but I hear nothing - only robot's voice. Though I see local volume meter changes as I speak - do not know whither it comes to ekiga side... Ekiga provides some tips for configuring the audio: http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Troubleshooting#Audio_problems http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Audio_setup I'm convinced - I need to take a couple of Your lessons on web searching! :o) They're for free :-P Wow! It is awesome!! :o) I really appreciate Your contribution You make for Debian project in general, and me - in particular! OK, in process. Anyway, I wouldn't test the mic using Ekiga. I say this because the voice quality can be severely affected not just by the application/sound configuration/mic but the SIP/VOIP number you're calling because not all ISTP provide low jitter and packet loss levels which are vital to obtain a crystal clear audio. No, I'm not testing it. I just want to make it using for it now. Ah, good then :-) But as I told you, your sound/voice quality problem can have different sources. As you seem to be able to dial from Ekiga, you can try with these test numbers: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Phone+Numbers I use (+44)148-360-4781, it's very good to test you mic/echo (menu 1) and your overall voip quality (menu 3 will give music on hold and careful because the two song samples they provide are very addictive :-P) I have read a link from above, yet can not find solution for my two, now, problems - according to the links it just should work - because of the new versions of kernel and ALSA: . Voice redirection from mic. to speakers (they have mentioned on simplification of SB circuits - and I believe it is my case - therefore another mic. type is needed - do not know when - if ever - I obtain one); . Can not here my voice back from ekiga test numbers nor from the link above that You gave. - For both calls I can hear sound but it seems they do not hear me - though mic. volume meter of ekiga - changes as I speak, so mic. probably works but either it is not send over network (I checked my firewall and did not see relevelent droppings in my logs), or ekiga does not get mic. signal - but as its meter reflects when I speak, then I suppose it is wrong suggestion. I guess ekiga people should make a diagnostic tool - that audio/net problems might be inspected more accurate.

Good time of the day, Camaleón. Thank You for Your time and answer.

Oh, what similarity! :o) Have You ever used Your mic. w/ Ekiga -like software - i.e. can You use Your mic. for talking on Internet? - Meaning this chipset hardware.

No, I'm not testing it. I just want to make it using for it now. OK. I have found that setting model to ref - adds more controls but it does not add more functionality - so returned to defaults - i.e. no manual specification of module to use. Also, note that for these kind of services (Internet calling) is better to use a well-engineered and quality headset/device (I'm very happy with my Plantronics .Audio 626 DSP).

I just have discovered that by running alsamixer and selecting the real sound card (Intel HDA) instead PulseAudio (which is selected by default) now I have lots of controls available: Master, Headphone, Speaker, PCM, Front Mic, Mic, Beep, Capture, Digital and Internal Mic. How can that be? Is PA is monopolizing the audio I/O? I'm stumped :-? I do not like PA. I have only one card (have wiped all I could that was once related to PulseAudio) - and it is the Intel HDA.

Mmm... is it possible that you can you load a LiveCD (choose whatever you prefer, it does not have to be Debian or Debian related) and check if the microphone is present there? I mean, that you can controll it from the sound applet. OK. I will try and write back, latter. Does Your mic. work?! Good question as I don't use it so much :-). Hold on, going to test it... Yes, it works. I have launched the gnome-sound-recorder application and from there I can only select one device (master) from where to get the input. I start recording and after stopping and playing I can hear exactly the recorded sample. Let's see how it goes with the arecord utility. Hold on... Yup, it also works fine.

After editing the file restart the alsa service or reboot, which is
usually easier.
I have done as You said:
cat /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
# autoloader aliases
install sound-slot-0 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-0
install sound-slot-1 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-1
install sound-slot-2 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-2
install sound-slot-3 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-3
install sound-slot-4 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-4
install sound-slot-5 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-5
install sound-slot-6 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-6
install sound-slot-7 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-7
# Cause optional modules to be loaded above generic modules
install snd /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd { /sbin/modprobe
--quiet snd-ioctl32 ; /sbin/modprobe --quiet snd-seq ; } install
snd-rawmidi /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-rawmidi
{ /sbin/modprobe --quiet snd-seq-midi ; : ; } install
snd-emu10k1 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-emu10k1
{ /sbin/modprobe --quiet snd-emu10k1-synth ; : ; }
# Prevent abnormal drivers from grabbing index 0

options snd-pcsp index=-2
# Keep snd-usb-audio from beeing loaded as first soundcard
options snd-usb-audio index=-2
options snd-hda-intel enable=1 index=0 model=dell-m26
Then rebooted, but w/o luck:

Re: Microphone does not work on wheezy laptop.
Good time of the day, Camaleón. Thank You for Your time and answer. You wrote: [AMD] nee ATI SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) That info is not enough to identify your hardware properly :-) Run these command and put here the ouput: OK, here it comes: cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [SB ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI SB HDA ATI SB at 0xc000 irq 16 head -n 1 /proc/asound/card0/codec* head: cannot open `/proc/asound/card0/codec' for reading: No such file or directory What do I miss here? sound card. Though mic work in laptop built-in test suite (called on key press at boot), amixer shows no mic: (...) - this is complete its output. Please share any ideas on what can be done to make mic. working. It can be that sound card is not being properly detected and you need to pass the model= parameter to the ALSA config file. Depending on the codec and your kernel verion, you can edit the alsa configuration file and append to the options line a value that matches with your sound card hardware settings: http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio-Models.txt I have searched through the list for HDA-Intel - but did not find it, but at the same time I have found corresponding line for my laptop model, so I've got the module is called dell-m26 Now, where should I put it? Can You bring here the line example? My kernel is 3.2.0-3-amd64. It can also be that your sound card chipset is too new for your kernel or alsa version but that would be strange given that your're on wheezy. Was the mic detected before or has never worked? Opposite, it is old laptop. And the situation w/ mic was ever that way. I'm just trying again to make it working.
