Package: timidity-daemon
Version: 2.14.0-8.1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software
X-Debbugs-Cc: joshuapricha...@gmail.com
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
I installed Timidity. It doesn't break until after a reboot (which may take
weeks for some people). After I rebooted days later for an unrelated reason, I
lost all audio and PulseAudio no longer showed my sound card at all.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Researched online, found a 6 year old bug marked as CLOSED, and impemented the
fix by removing timidity from the
audio:
line in /etc/group where it was put by timidity-daemon.postinst line 48 as
referenced in reply #58 HERE (ty Kingsley): https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=901931#58
* What was the outcome of this action?
After removing timidity from the audio: line in /etc/group and rebooting, aduio
was restored and PulseAudio once again showed my sound card as present.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Bug #901931 to not have been marked as resolved and this to have been fixed SIX
YEARS ago.
