[Bug 429311] Re: installing esound requires removing ubuntu-studio-desktop
Bug marked as invalid. Removing the ubuntustudio-desktop package does not remove the dependent packages, the desktop remains functional. The current behavior of removing the meta package when a pulse audio (or other dependency) package is removed is desirable, as otherwise the package would be re-installed as soon as the ubuntustudio-desktop is updated. This would result in a broken package error. -- installing esound requires removing ubuntu-studio-desktop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/429311 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
[Bug 429311] Re: installing esound requires removing ubuntu-studio-desktop
Finding a solution to that is probably not easy. Do you suggest any of the following? 1) Pulseaudio-esound-compat and esound in fact can be running side-by- side (i e, the conflict is invalid) 2) Pulseaudio (or pulseaudio-esound-compat) should not be in the ubuntu- studio-desktop 3) That ubuntu-studio-desktop would be able to be installed although the packages it depends on are not installed? (This will probably require massive changes to the way Ubuntu handles packages...) ** Changed in: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- installing esound requires removing ubuntu-studio-desktop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/429311 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
[Bug 429311] Re: installing esound requires removing ubuntu-studio-desktop
Number 2, for preference. I don't know of many applications that need esound compatibility in pulseaudio. However, there are many people who kill pulseaudio and who need esound to run alsa applications running in wine. Or to use Audacity, which is a popular program. Alsa / esound is critical for me. I use wine to run speech recognition software. Wine does not work with pulseaudio, especially in input / recording mode. Now, with wine I can use oss instead of alsa, but the sound isn't as good. I think it's the latency as well as the sound quality. Using speech recognition, you always need the best-quality sound possible, the most detail, with the lowest latency. Speech recognition software is complex, resource-intensive and temperamental. -- installing esound requires removing ubuntu-studio-desktop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/429311 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

Ok, moving your suggestion to ubuntustudio-meta although I'm not sure they will agree. Btw, audacity works with pulse (through alsa) in Jaunty. ** Package changed: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) = ubuntustudio-meta (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: ubuntustudio-meta (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = New -- installing esound requires removing ubuntu-studio-desktop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/429311 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
[Bug 429311] Re: installing esound requires removing ubuntu-studio-desktop
I should have made myself clearer. There were two options under #2 -- (A) removing pulseaudio from USD, or (B) just removing pulseaudio- esound-compat. I would LOVE #A -- that pulseaudio NOT be automatically part of the ubuntu-studio-desktop. I never use pulseaudio, and never will. Not having to kill it every time I turn on the computer would be a gift of time to me, and it would make me happy. However, I can work around having pulseaudio installed. killall pulseaudio, everytime I turn on the computer. I NEED #B -- Once I have killed pulseaudio, I must be able to run alsa and wine effectively together. Right now, installing esound is the only way to do it. To get esound I must remove pulseaudio-esound-compat. The first option -- having pulseaudio-esound-compat and esound running side-by-side, seems confusing to me. But it wouldn't matter to me if the pulseaudio version were running or not, because I kill pulseaudio. So, this could be an option, from a developer perspective. -- installing esound requires removing ubuntu-studio-desktop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/429311 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
