Package: ascd Version: 0.13.2-5 Severity: normal It is to be expected that ascd will be used as an always on application docked in the Afterstep wharf.
However, it is probable that a CD disc will not always be present in the CD device assigned to ascd. Even though no disc is present, ascd continuously polls the assigned CD device and the dmesg buffer soon fills up with nothing but the messages [56592.140771] sr1: CDROM not ready. Make sure there is a disc in the drive. [56592.970063] sr1: CDROM not ready. Make sure there is a disc in the drive. [56593.799036] sr1: CDROM not ready. Make sure there is a disc in the drive. [56594.718566] sr1: CDROM not ready. Make sure there is a disc in the drive. Surely there is a better way for ascd to determine if there is a disc in the drive ready to play. Other CD playing applications eg xmcd do not continiously poll the device resulting in these messages filling the dmesg buffer. If this is not resolved, then it should be recommended that ascd is only used when an audio disc is to be played and not as a swallowed application in the Wharf, and the accompanying documentation should mention this. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.39-2-686-pae (SMP w/1 CPU core) 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 ascd depends on: ii imagemagick 8:6.6.9.7-5 image manipulation programs ii libc6 2.13-7 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libx11-6 2:1.4.3-2 X11 client-side library ii libxext6 2:1.3.0-3 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxpm4 1:3.5.9-1 X11 pixmap library ascd recommends no packages. ascd suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
