Anyone here try the "pulseaudio-*" packages from EPEL on RHEL 5? Anyone attempt to use the "pulseaudio-esound-compat"?
The "esdcompat" page included with "pulseaudio-esound-compat" says ... 'drop-in replacement for esd, i.e. it can be used to make gnome-session(1) start up PulseAudio instead of esd.' But when I remove "esound" (which conflicts with) and install "pulseaudio-esound-compat", I clearly lose my ability to start GNOME session. I.e., I login, then the GNOME session closes within seconds. The compat package only includes the "esdcompat" wrapper script, a symlink "esd" to it (plus the man page). The original "esound" package includes libraries and other things. E.g., (on a RHEL 5.2 system within 1 month of updates) $ yum provides esound esound.i386 pulseaudio-esound-compat.i386 Which is required by ... $ rpm -q --whatrequires esound libgnomeui-2.16.0-5.el5 *BUT* $ rpm -q --whatrequires libesd.so.0 libgnome-2.16.0-6.el5 nautilus-2.16.2-7.el5 gnome-session-2.16.0-6.el5 ... (and many other GNOME components) ... Which is solved only by ... $ yum provides libesd.so.0 esound.i386 I assume this is likely my problem? Or something else? BTW, I just checked the RHEL 5.3 beta, and ... $ rpm -qR gnome-session | grep -i esd libesd.so.0 -- Bryan P.S. I have a working RHEL 5 LTSP client now, including remote storage (LTSPfs) and other support. Just hoping to get pulseaudio working too, although I'm going to look further at just using remote esd/ALSA, if possible. -- Bryan J Smith - Senior Consultant - Red Hat GPS SE US mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +1 (407) 489-7013 (Mobile) mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (non-RH/ext to Blackberry) ----------------------------------------------------- For every dollar you spend on Red Hat solutions, you not only fund the leading community development re- source, but you receive the #1 IT industry leader in corporate value. http://www.redhat.com/promo/vendor/ _______________________________________________ epel-devel-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/epel-devel-list
