I can confirm this bug, on dapper with all of the latest updates (as of the time of this writing). Running zynaddsubfx from a terminal yields the following output (note, I left out the top part, which should be irrelevant): ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sound Buffer Size = 256 samples Internal latency = 5.8 ms ADSynth Oscil. Size = 512 samples
ERROR: Cannot make a jack client (possible reasons: JACK server is not running or jackd is launched by root and zynaddsubfx by another user.). Using OSS instead. ERROR - I can't open the /dev/dsp . ALSA lib seq_hw.c:456:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file or directory ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Doesn't this imply a bug somewhere further down the stack, perhaps in the kernel, since a user-space application should not be able to bring down the entire system (should it?) ? Pete, I'll try "sudo modprobe snd_seq" and report back the results. My error messages, above, seem to indicate that zynaddsubfx is actually looking for /dev/snd/seq, rather than /dev/seq, but /dev/snd/seq is probably created by the same module, snd_seq. -- Attempting to start zynaddsubfx crashes computer https://launchpad.net/bugs/42512 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
