Package: libarts1c2a Version: 1.5.9-2+b1 Severity: grave File: soundserver Justification: renders package unusable
First, I must note that this problem relates to my AMD64 machine, which has been so severely disrupted that I can no longer use it. First, this problem happened on my last software upgrade. Second, it takes the form of a constantly-recurring fatal error message that says that soundserver failed to initialize, or load, or words to that effect. The biggest problem is in connection with the fact that the system simply cannot "give up" -- it retries to load the soundserver at least every three seconds until it runs out of memory. Mu system has 2 GB of memory, which means that it can stack up 230 iterations of the procedure. I would doubtless try to reinstall Debian on the machine, except that (a) I have no guarantee that it would make any improvement, and (b) I want you to have a chance to debug it first. I hopw you can debug it. N.B.: This machine has had trouble running either gnash or Adobe Flash software for months now. I cannot help but wonder whether this failure is related to that problem or not. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26 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 libarts1c2a depends on: ii libartsc0 1.5.9-2+b1 aRts sound system C support librar ii libasound2 1.0.16-2 ALSA library ii libaudio2 1.9.1-5 Network Audio System - shared libr ii libaudiofile0 0.2.6-7 Open-source version of SGI's audio ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libesd0 0.2.36-3 Enlightened Sound Daemon - Shared ii libgcc1 1:4.3.3-3 GCC support library ii libglib2.0-0 2.16.6-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libjack0 0.116.1-3 JACK Audio Connection Kit (librari ii libmad0 0.15.1b-4 MPEG audio decoder library ii libqt3-mt 3:3.3.8b-5+b1 Qt GUI Library (Threaded runtime v ii libstdc++6 4.3.3-3 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libvorbis0a 1.2.0.dfsg-3.1 The Vorbis General Audio Compressi ii libvorbisfile3 1.2.0.dfsg-3.1 The Vorbis General Audio Compressi ii libx11-6 2:1.1.5-2 X11 client-side library ii oss-compat 0.0.4+nmu2 OSS compatibility package Versions of packages libarts1c2a recommends: ii libarts1-akode 4:3.5.9-3 akode plugin for aRts libarts1c2a suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-qt-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
