Public bug reported: Binary package hint: saydate
When I install saydate (resp. saytime), the following packages are installed: libsox-fmt-base libsox-fmt-oss sox oss-compat Nevertheless, I get the following errors: FATAL: Module snd_seq_oss not found. FATAL: Module snd_mixer_oss not found. FATAL: Module snd_pcm_oss not found. As a result of this, when trying to execute saydate I get: sox WARN raw: `-': sample rate not specified; trying 8kHz sox WARN raw: `-': # channels not specified; trying mono sox FAIL formats: can't open output file `/dev/dsp': Permission denied The last message is a bit weird, as a) I am member of the group audio and b) the device file does not exist. :) redtux@nostrix:~$ id uid=1000(redtux) gid=1000(redtux) Gruppen=1000(redtux),4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),29(audio),46(plugdev),112(lpadmin),120(admin),122(sambashare),129(libvirtd) redtux@nostrix:~$ ls -l /dev/dsp ls: cannot access /dev/dsp: No such file or directory I remember similar bugs from Debian GNU/Linux. Thus, afaik this error is well known. E.g. see Bug #672950 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/saytime/+bug/672950 Reading the Debian Sound FAQ also did not help. http://wiki.debian.org/SoundFAQ Even after creating the device files in /dev I got the error message that they would not exist. redtux@nostrix:/dev$ sudo MAKEDEV -v sound create mixer c 14 0 root:audio 0660 create mixer1 c 14 16 root:audio 0660 create mixer2 c 14 32 root:audio 0660 create mixer3 c 14 48 root:audio 0660 create sequencer c 14 1 root:audio 0660 create midi00 c 14 2 root:audio 0660 create midi01 c 14 18 root:audio 0660 create midi02 c 14 34 root:audio 0660 create midi03 c 14 50 root:audio 0660 create dsp c 14 3 root:audio 0660 create dsp1 c 14 19 root:audio 0660 create dsp2 c 14 35 root:audio 0660 create dsp3 c 14 51 root:audio 0660 create audio c 14 4 root:audio 0660 create audio1 c 14 20 root:audio 0660 create audio2 c 14 36 root:audio 0660 create audio3 c 14 52 root:audio 0660 create sndstat c 14 6 root:audio 0660 create audioctl c 14 7 root:audio 0660 create mpu401data c 31 0 root:audio 0660 create mpu401stat c 31 1 root:audio 0660 create midi0 c 35 0 root:audio 0660 create rmidi0 c 35 64 root:audio 0660 create smpte0 c 35 128 root:audio 0660 create midi1 c 35 1 root:audio 0660 create rmidi1 c 35 65 root:audio 0660 create smpte1 c 35 129 root:audio 0660 create midi2 c 35 2 root:audio 0660 create rmidi2 c 35 66 root:audio 0660 create smpte2 c 35 130 root:audio 0660 create midi3 c 35 3 root:audio 0660 create rmidi3 c 35 67 root:audio 0660 create smpte3 c 35 131 root:audio 0660 redtux@nostrix:~$ ls -l /dev/dsp crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 3 2011-02-23 16:21 /dev/dsp Unfortunately, I don't know where to find the correct kernel modules. redtux@nostrix:~$ sudo apt-file search /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/sound/core/oss/snd-mixer-oss.ko ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.04 Package: saydate 0.3.0-10.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.38-4.31-generic 2.6.38-rc5 Uname: Linux 2.6.38-4-generic x86_64 Architecture: amd64 Date: Wed Feb 23 15:56:47 2011 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Alpha amd64 (20110202) PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=de_AT:de:en_GB:en LANG=de_AT.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=de_AT.utf8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: saydate ** Affects: saydate (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug natty -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/723790 Title: oss modules missing (wrong dependencies?) -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
