Package: oss-compat Version: 3 Followup-For: Bug #660803 Dear Maintainer, *** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation? updating oss-compat form v2 to v3 * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? apt-get install oss-compat (pulled and installed v3, then reboot) * What was the outcome of this action? During boot a delay of more then one minute at "udev [473] /sbin/modprobe -b pci. <very large number>" after more than a minute: "terminated by signal 9 (killed)" -> alsa error during boot "no soundcard found/configured" boot completes, but no sound, no soundcard. * What outcome did you expect instead? Working sound even with oss-dependent applications What I found out: - manually deleting "/etc/modprobe.d/oss-compat.conf" lets alsa configure the soundcard at next boot (but then applications depending on oss-compat won't work). - apt-get install oss-compat/testing" *won't* work, as it does not replace /etc/modprobe.d/oss-compat.conf (v3) with /etc/modprobe.d/oss-compat.conf (v2) - apt-get install oss-compat/testing" *will* work if you remove /etc/modprobe.d/oss-compat.conf beforehand. To me it seems that the new format of /etc/modprobe.d/oss-compat.conf is the main problem. And a sidenote: oss-compat (3) *recommends* osspd, which when installed *replaces* oss-compat (but leaves /etc/modprobe.d/oss-compat.conf at its palce). But then whether I remove /etc/modprobe.d/oss-compat.conf or not, plication dependign on oss wont work with ossdp. So here the only working solution is: manually remove /etc/modprobe.d/oss-compat.conf (v3) install oss-compat/testing (=v2) -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (900, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.9-2.towo-siduction-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages oss-compat depends on: ii kmod 9-3 Versions of packages oss-compat recommends: pn osspd <none> oss-compat suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
