I have one last email about sound...this time about sound on Ubuntu
Linux 7.10 with SRSS. I stumbled upon the guide for srss on debian that
was posted to this list and many other tutorials back in September and
have been working on getting every aspect of it working for several
weeks. We have had a single SRSS Ubuntu server running in
pre-production for admins for a couple months and it runs quite happily.
Fully functional sound is my last step and it does work more or less
except for one thing. I am hoping there is someone a little more
knowledgeable about the SunRay session start up procedure that can shed
some light on what is being skipped.
To get the SRSS audio modules to function I have followed the
instructions found at
http://wiki.sun-rays.org/index.php/Installing_Sun_Ray_Server_on_Debian
and the latter part of
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuOnSunRay#head-68a0f5f73813b4b9e669d19b97769d830c378d0f
The steps I have taken out of the second link are...
---
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/SunRay$ sudo apt-get install libesd0
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/SunRay$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libesd.so.0
/usr/lib/libesd.so.1
---
Add the following under this line in /etc/init.d/zsunray-init:
[ ! -f /bin/basename ] && ln -s /usr/bin/basename /bin/basename
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/SunRay$ sudo vi /etc/init.d/zsunray-init
# create the .esd directory to hold the socket files
if [ ! -d /tmp/.esd ]; then
mkdir /tmp/.esd
fi
# set the sticky bit on the .esd directory
chmod 1777 /tmp/.esd
# allow all users to read the dsp and mixer devices
chmod 666 /dev/dsp /dev/mixer
---
Perform the following to establish the gnome-session-sunray wrapper script:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/SunRay$ sudo rm /etc/alternatives/x-session-manager
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/SunRay$ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gnome-session-sunray
/etc/alternatives/x-session-manager
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/SunRay$ sudo vi /usr/bin/gnome-session-sunray
#!/bin/bash

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/SunRay$ sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/gnome-session-sunray
---
gconftool-2 --direct --config-source
xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory --type bool --set
/desktop/gnome/sound/enable_esd true
---
I have taken another step that was not in the guide. I ran the command
`update-altneratives --install x-session-manager /etc/alternatives
/usr/bin/gnome-session-sunray 1` and then a `update-alternatives
--config x-session-manager` and selected /usr/bin/gnome-session-sunray
from the list it then provides.
---
Ok so what happens when I start a new session is, $AUDIODEV and
$UTAUDIODEV gets set and devices are created in /tmp/SUNWut/dev/utaudio
but the script from the second link above never runs so the esd daemon
is never killed and reloaded with the -d option to include $UTAUDIODEV.
The script is completely skipped, never even looked at...gnome still
starts though, leading me to believe that x-session-manager is never
called during session creation. I can kill esd myself after the session
begins and then restart it with -d option and esd loads and functions
great. Can load up XMMS and easily play music.
Any know why the script is being skipped over?
