[Bug 659024] Re: fatal errors installing oss-compat, snd_pcm_oss module not found
This bug is not fixed. Now when installing oss-compat, it recommends osspd. However, installing osspd forces and uninstall of oss-compat. There is a warning given that oss-compat is a dependency of aumix. It is not until I tried to reinstall oss-compat and osspd was uninstalled that it said osspd provides oss-compat. This leads me to wonder why there was a dependency warning. The package aumix should be marked as depending on osspd or oss-compat if oss-compat is provided in both. This still leaves aumix without the correct device. Neither of these packages provide an emulated or linked device for /dev/mixer which is required for aumix. I suppose one simply should not install aumix in the first place, but I think things would just be simpler if Ubuntu put OSS modules back in the kernel so that `modprobe snd_mixer_oss` would work. It would also make many people frustrated with PulseAudio much happier. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/659024 Title: fatal errors installing oss-compat, snd_pcm_oss module not found To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/oss-compat/+bug/659024/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 659024] Re: fatal errors installing oss-compat, snd_pcm_oss module not found
This bug is about errors preventing the installation of oss-compat, and is fixed. If you're unhappy about the audio functionality available in Ubuntu, please file bugs against the relevant packages (the kernel if you really want to be able to use aumix with /dev/mixer, osspd if you'd like it to support /dev/mixer). If you're using pulseaudio I'm not sure aumix is particularly useful anyway... The whole point of osspd providing oss-compat is so that it can be used as an alternative; packages requiring the OSS devices are supposed to simply depend on oss-compat, not osspd. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/659024 Title: fatal errors installing oss-compat, snd_pcm_oss module not found To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/oss-compat/+bug/659024/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 659024] Re: fatal errors installing oss-compat, snd_pcm_oss module not found
The upstream kernel sources (ie from kernel.org) does include the modules, although they are flagged as deprecated. The standard Ubuntu kernel sources probably also contain the modules. But to enable them you need to build and install your own kernel, after changing the settings in the .config file as shown in bug #579300 (the CONFIG_SOUND_OSS* and CONFIG_SND_*OSS settings). Would padsp help? (http://linux.die.net/man/1/padsp). It redirects calls to the OSS modules to pulseaudio so you don't need the OSS modules. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/659024 Title: fatal errors installing oss-compat, snd_pcm_oss module not found To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/oss-compat/+bug/659024/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 659024] Re: fatal errors installing oss-compat, snd_pcm_oss module not found
Ah, it looks like they didn't remove OSS properly when they addressed bug #579300 - they only removed the OSS kernel modules. There are a handful of applications like aumix that depend on oss-compat (which doesn't run, as we know) and they should probably have also rebuilt oss- compat use alsa or pulseaudio libraries, or remove it and the dependent applications. I thought there were some pulseaudio-alsa-oss links that might have got around this but I can't find them in Synaptic. If you want to build your own kernel and enable the OSS modules (I think you'll need CONFIG_SND_MIXER_OSS as well), you could try these guides: Build from Ubuntu sources: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile Build from Linus' latest git sources: http://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/39288-how-to-build-latest-linux- kernel-on-debian-from-linus-git-repo -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/659024 Title: fatal errors installing oss-compat, snd_pcm_oss module not found To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/oss-compat/+bug/659024/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I got the same thing here after reinstalling LinuxMint 10 after a problem with ubuntu-tweak. Already after installation of the basic system, I started the Update in the Terminal and during installation of the necessary updates, I got the same message. The next thing I found is, that the language used on the system is a mixture fo English and German, although I installed all necessary language-packages for German. Then I have problems with missing utf8-support due to the above mentioned error-message. Please fix this up. This is no go for the system and makes problems also in working with Gimp.

I must say that this decision is very wrong. Disabling OSS (some very used legacy applications rely on it) without working OSSp (it can't be even compiled under 10.10) is not something to be proud of. -- fatal errors installing oss-compat, snd_pcm_oss module not found https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/659024 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
