* Sparrow [2009-11-25 20:07:39 CET]: > ** Changed in: wesnoth (Ubuntu) >Status: Invalid => Confirmed Sparrow, DiegoJ, can you two pretty please elaborate on why you reopen this bug? Did you two actually read what bug #203158 is about? It would be pretty helpful if you have anything new to add to actually also write that to the bug report when setting it back to confirmed, and actually also could tell us what sound system you are using if you don't use the default pulseaudio one - and if you use pulseaudio why the fix to install libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio doesn't seem to work for you?

Would that make it possible to remove it from the wesnoth affects list? Because launchpad still doesn't allow to unsubscribe from bugs making duplicate bugs across several packages a pain for people subscribed to a specific package getting flooded with messages that are unrelated to the package at hand and can't get done within the package. From my undestanding the "fix" for this bug is clear: Installation of libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio solves the issue related to the SDL/audio issue (and isn't wesnoth specific, thus the bug is invalid for the wesnoth package). If marking it duplicated would actually speed up the fix in libsdl1.2 then I'm fine with it - but actually I don't see this coming. It's now well over a year since the last comment to the bug that's meant to be "triaged" which I consider a bit unfortunate and disappointing, frankly spoken. So long!

Right, and that one is broken, please check the referenced bug report. And actually, it is the way the sound setup on *your* system is handled, even if it's done by regular karmic install. I don't decline that there is a bug, far from it - it just isn't in wesnoth but in libsdl. > If libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio is needed for Wesnoth on a standard > install, then it is a dependency of Wesnoth. If it isn't a dependency, > then that sure looks like a bug to me. Erm, no, it's not that easy. wesnoth works with *any* SDL capable sound system. Though, that sound system needs to be proper setup. wesnoth (and other SDL applications) don't enforce any specific sound setup and leaves you the choice. It's just an error in the default dependency chain that is done within the *libsdl* packages that is causing the troubles. There is nothing that wesnoth can do for you that isn't just a dirty hack. Fixing it on the proper place is the right thing to do and the way to go. Limiting users of wesnoth to pulseaudio isn't a proper way and I definitely don't want to go down that road. Hope this was a bit more clear and understandable. :) Rhonda -- wesnoth no sound, high cpu usage, can't quit without freezing the application https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/442535 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

* chuck [2009-11-03 04:12:36 CET]: > This bug is still there. I can confirm that as have others posting after > the change to invalid. I expect you are using pulseaudio for your audio and don't have libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio installed. Can you please install the later package and see wether this solves your problem? I'm quite confident that it will.

Or do all games use it? Yes, it can to some degree be compared with DirectX. About other games that use it I did take alook at the reverse dependencies of the libsdl-mixer1.2 package and maybe you have one of these games in use: blobwars, blockattack, blockout2, briquolo, ceferino, crack-attack (like that one ;)), cuyo, enigma, fillets-ng (cool puzzle game), frozen-bubble, icebreaker, mirrormagic, pachi, pingus, pokerth, supertransball2, supertux, widelands, wormux, xmoto ... Aren't all but should be enough to get you started. If you want to have a full list, install the dctrl-tools package and use the following commands: sudo sync-available grep-available -FDepends libsdl-mixer1.2 -a -FSection games -sPackage That will give you a complete list of packages that depend on libsdl-mixer1.2 :) So long!

Can you please try other sdl applications (that play music, of course) and check wether they show similar behavior - it would surprise me if wesnoth should be the only application that has these issues.
