Public bug reported: Hi,
As reported in http://askubuntu.com/questions/361711/osspd-aoss-padsp-dont-work-with-13-10 I found that osspd doesn't work with Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy. I'm sure it is Ubuntu 13.10's problem because I also have Ubuntu 13.04 on this very same machine, and it works fine. Here is my Ubuntu 13.04's info: $ uname -rsm Linux 3.8.0-19-generic x86_64 $ cat /proc/version Linux version 3.8.0-19-generic (buildd@allspice) (gcc version 4.7.3 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.7.3-1ubuntu1) ) #30-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 1 16:35:23 UTC 2013 And here is my Ubuntu 13.10's info: $ uname -rsm Linux 3.11.0-13-generic x86_64 $ cat /proc/version Linux version 3.11.0-13-generic (buildd@roseapple) (gcc version 4.8.1 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.8.1-10ubuntu8) ) #20-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 23 07:38:26 UTC 2013 Here is how I tested: $ ls -l /dev/dsp crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 14, 3 2013-12-22 18:39 /dev/dsp $ stat /dev/dsp File: '/dev/dsp' Size: 0 Blocks: 0 IO Block: 4096 character special file Device: 5h/5d Inode: 32073 Links: 1 Device type: e,3 Access: (0666/crw-rw-rw-) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root) Access: 2013-12-22 18:39:47.074165000 -0500 Modify: 2013-12-22 18:39:47.074165000 -0500 Change: 2013-12-22 18:39:47.074165000 -0500 Birth: - $ echo 0z0z > /dev/dsp bash: /dev/dsp: Input/output error Restarting osspd won't work: $ sudo service osspd restart * Restarting OSS Proxy Daemon osspd [ OK ] Rebooting my machine won't work either. My *PaulsAudio works fine*. Didn't test padsp or aoss because I'm not sure if they work with my Ubuntu 13.04, and it is already reported not working. ** Affects: osspd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1263561 Title: osspd doesn't work within Ubuntu 13.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/osspd/+bug/1263561/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
