Package: darkice Version: 1.0-1 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer, This will be a bit long. And, though I mention two Debian derivatives, the issue is also present in Debian. Thanks for your time and effort. * What led up to the situation? I am running Ubuntu Studio on a system at my church, using Ardour and Jack for recording and as a public address system. I plan on adding streaming audio, using icecast2 and darkice, so I can connect to Jack to extract the audio to send to the icecast server. I have Debian 7.1 installed on my laptop, and Linux Mint on my desktop. I tried to set up a "proof of concept" on the desktop. I first set up icecast2 and ices2, to be sure my icecast configuration worked. After verifying it, I set up darkice, configured to use 'jack' as the source. But darkice failed to run. I tried using 'jack-auto' but it also failed. I then set up the same on the Ubuntu system, where I know Jack works, but darkice fails to run there as well. I then decided to download and compile darkice myself, to see if a newer version made any difference. The only change was in the error message wording. The next thing was to set up my laptop for darkice. Because the problem was getting darkice to run at all, I did not install icecast. I did install jack and qjackctl. Attempting to run darkice using 'jack' as the source results in this output: $ sudo darkice DarkIce 1.0 live audio streamer, http://code.google.com/p/darkice/ Copyright (c) 2000-2007, Tyrell Hungary, http://tyrell.hu/ Copyright (c) 2008-2010, Akos Maroy and Rafael Diniz This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under the terms of The GNU General Public License version 3 or any later version. Using config file: /etc/darkice.cfg Using JACK audio server as input device. Using POSIX real-time scheduling, priority 98 jack_client_new: deprecated Cannot connect to server socket err = No such file or directory Cannot connect to server request channel jack server is not running or cannot be started DarkIce: JackDspSource.cpp:216: JACK server not running? [0] This is the same message for all three systems. Yet, on the Ubuntu machine, Ardour, JackEQ and VLC all interact without any problems with Jack. It is only darkice that fails to find and open a 'server socket'. The bottom line is that I can't create the audio stream to broadcast and my project is dead in the water. It is quite possible I have some sort of a configuration problem, but I have compared my darkice config with the example, and other examples I've found around the web, and I don't see anything glaringly obvious. In fact, it looks to me like it should be fine. Also, at least from my perspective, this is hugh problem, as darkice fails completely, hence the choices I made for severity, etc. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.1 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages darkice depends on: ii libasound2 1.0.25-4 ii libc6 2.13-38 ii libgcc1 1:4.7.2-5 ii libjack-jackd2-0 [libjack-0.116] 1.9.8~dfsg.4+20120529git007cdc37-5 ii libogg0 1.3.0-4 ii libsamplerate0 0.1.8-5 ii libstdc++6 4.7.2-5 ii libtwolame0 0.3.13-1 ii libvorbis0a 1.3.2-1.3 ii libvorbisenc2 1.3.2-1.3 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian8+deb7u1 darkice recommends no packages.
