Public bug reported: [Bug report created after Alec Cormack's question https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eboard/+question/143832 ]
eboard is a graphical chess board. It is quite an old program and tries to use OSS /dev/dsp device which no longer exists in recent Kubuntu/Ubuntu versions. In order to get sound the menu file for the program needs to be changed to call eboard via /usr/bin/padsp which magically fixes the sound problem. I propose changing /usr/share/menu from: ?package(eboard):needs="X11" section="Games/Board"\ title="eboard" command="/usr/games/eboard" to ?package(eboard):needs="X11" section="Games/Board"\ title="eboard" command="/usr/bin/padsp /usr/games/eboard" [Solution tested and working both in Gnome or KDE] ** Affects: eboard (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/840841 Title: [Natty] eBoard produces no sound To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eboard/+bug/840841/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
