Why not a separate package (let's call it "ossemul-deprecate.dpkg"), shipped with the stock ubuntu, which contains just a file:
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ossemul.conf with "blacklist snd_pcm_oss" inside? (eventually add other oss emulation modules if opportune) It would disable oss emulation by default, but still if, for any reason, one would like to get oss emulation back, he should just uninstall the above package (through CLI, GUI or anything) and would be up and running in a matter of seconds. This would avoid any dkms compile complication or source misalignment, and it would require 0 manutention effort. Also (desiderable, but not needed) packages known *not* to work without oss emulation could be marked conflicting with that package, such preserving usability during with the oss dismission plan. Wouldn't anyone be happy in this way? If not could the maintainers please explain if (and why) such solution is not applicable? -- Please disable CONFIG_SOUND_OSS* and CONFIG_SND_*OSS* https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/579300 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
