Subject: acroread opens and locks sound device Package: acroread Version: 9.1.0-0.5 Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line *** I open a PDF using acroread. At some point--not obviously related to anything I do--acroread decides to block access to the sound device. I don't know how to trigger this, but I know that it happens often or usually after acroread has been open for a few hours. At this point, I start getting errors when I try to play music using any software. Here's one from audacious2 2.2 (alsa 1.0.21+dfsg-2, no pulse etc). ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1010:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave alsa-gapless: snd_pcm_open failed: Device or resource busy. "lsof | grep pcm" revealed that acroread was accessing /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p. Closing acroread allows sound players to open the device again. acroread does not complain that anyone else has the sound device open, and doesn't seem to try to steal control. Sorry; this report is rather odd. I'd love to provide more info if you can tell me what to look for! -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-trunk-686 (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/bash Versions of packages acroread depends on: ii acroread-data 9.1.0-0.5 data files for acroread ii acroread-debian-files 0.0.33 Debian specific parts of Adobe Acr ii acroread-l10n-en [acror 9.1.0-0.5 English language package for acror ii libatk1.0-0 1.28.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.10.2-2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcups2 1.4.2-6 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libfontconfig1 2.8.0-1.1 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.3.11-1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.4.2-8 GCC support library ii libgl1-mesa-glx [libgl1 7.6.1-1 A free implementation of the OpenG ii libglib2.0-0 2.22.3-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libglu1-mesa [libglu1] 7.6.1-1 The OpenGL utility library (GLU) ii libgtk2.0-0 2.18.5-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libidn11 1.15-2 GNU Libidn library, implementation ii libldap-2.4-2 2.4.17-2.1 OpenLDAP libraries ii libpango1.0-0 1.26.2-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libstdc++6 4.4.2-8 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 2:1.3.2-1 X11 client-side library ii libxext6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxml2 2.7.6.dfsg-1 GNOME XML library ii libxt6 1:1.0.7-1 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime Versions of packages acroread recommends: ii gconf2 2.28.0-1 GNOME configuration database syste Versions of packages acroread suggests: ii acroread-l10n-en [acroread-l1 9.1.0-0.5 English language package for acror pn acroread-plugins <none> (no description available) pn mozilla-acroread <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
