This bug in 'cwlib' is caused by the invalid use of a mixer ioctl on the soundcard audio device. For most audio devices, the invalid ioctl is harmless, but for some audio devices it prevents cwlib from properly switching the volume on and off (which is how it generates Morse code).
I have fixed the bug in the attached branch, and created PPA update packages for Karmic and Lucid, available here: https://launchpad.net/~kamalmostafa/+archive/unixcw-fixes (Note also LP: #513942 and LP: #513957 -- audio devices affected by this bug are likely to be affected by those as well). ** Branch linked: lp:~kamalmostafa/ubuntu/lucid/unixcw/fix-ioctl-and- mute ** Changed in: unixcw (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress => Confirmed ** Changed in: unixcw (Ubuntu) Assignee: Kamal Mostafa (kamalmostafa) => (unassigned) -- unixcw sends incorrect characters https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/511676 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
