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 [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
