Package: sl-modem Version: 2.9.11~20100718-1 Reported against Ubuntu, with a patch available at http://bazaar.launchpad.net/% 7Enalimilan/ubuntu/lucid/sl-modem/sl-modem-regex/diff/21 Hope this helps!
The /etc/init.d/sl-modem-daemon script checks for the presence of modems by parsing the output of 'aplay -l'. But it's looking for English strings, and they can be localized - in particular, the word "card" changes, e.g.: - English: card 0: ICH6 [Intel ICH6], device 0: Intel ICH [Intel ICH6] - French: carte 0: ICH6 [Intel ICH6], périphérique 0 : Intel ICH [Intel ICH6] So the best solution is to set LC_ALL=C before all calls to 'aplay'. Patch follows. For reference, people with amd64 versions get the following error, since the ALSA modem is not detected: > Only access through ALSA is available on amd64 but slamr driver was chosen! > Make sure that an ALSA driver for your chipset is available and is loaded > and that access to SmartLink modem components is supported by it. People with 32bit systems are likely to be told to build the slamr module, which is not needed. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
