Package: ltsp-server Version: 0.99debian11 Severity: normal After installing ltsp-server and getting clients to run, sound does not work on the clients. Within the package, I'm not finding any notes or pointers to other documentation for getting sound to work.
The two main things I needed to do to enable sound were: 1) Add "SOUND = Y" to /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf Note that this file isn't there by default, so the user might want to copy it from /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/doc/ltsp-client/examples as a starting point. However, they probably want to comment out all the lines and start with an empty [Default] section. 2) Within the chroot, install several packages. I don't know if this is the right set, but this is what worked. (I'd love feedback if I have installed the wrong things.) sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 apt-get update sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 apt-get install alsa-oss alsa-base alsa-utils The following extra packages will be installed: libasound2 libpci2 linux-sound-base lsof pciutils Suggested packages: apmd libasound2-plugins The following NEW packages will be installed alsa-base alsa-oss alsa-utils libasound2 libpci2 linux-sound-base lsof pciutils The addition of these packages does increase the client's footprint. Previously, a top(1) showed memory usage of 47748k. After these sound packages are installed, memory usage increased to 48904K. Additionally, one could point users to: http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/Sound It is difficult, though, because most of the instructions at ltsp.org are written for a manual install of LTS. The Debian packaging is nice, but it becomes difficult for a user to tell what it's done, and how much of the lts.org documentation is applicable. -- Package-specific info: packages in chroot: /opt/ltsp/i386 ii initramfs-tools 0.85g tools for generating an initramfs ii ldm 0.99debian11 LTSP display manager ii ltsp-client 0.99debian11 LTSP client environment -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-686 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages ltsp-server depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.11 Debian configuration management sy ii debconf-utils 1.5.11 debconf utilities ii debootstrap 0.3.3.2 Bootstrap a basic Debian system ii esound-clients 0.2.36-3 Enlightened Sound Daemon - clients ii gettext-base 0.16.1-1 GNU Internationalization utilities ii iproute 20061002-3 Professional tools to control the ii lsb-release 3.1-23.1 Linux Standard Base version report ii nfs-kernel-server 1:1.0.10-6 Kernel NFS server support ii openbsd-inetd [inet-superse 0.20050402-6 The OpenBSD Internet Superserver ii openssh-client 1:4.3p2-9 Secure shell client, an rlogin/rsh ii python 2.4.4-2 An interactive high-level object-o ii ssh 1:4.3p2-9 Secure shell client and server (tr ii tcpd 7.6.dbs-13 Wietse Venema's TCP wrapper utilit ii tftpd-hpa 0.43-1.1 HPA's tftp server ii update-inetd 4.27-0.5 inetd.conf updater Versions of packages ltsp-server recommends: ii nbd-server 1:2.8.7-4 the Network Block Device server ii openssh-server 1:4.3p2-9 Secure shell server, an rshd repla ii ssh 1:4.3p2-9 Secure shell client and server (tr -- debconf information: ltsp-server/build_client: false -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
