[Bug 206027] [NEW] Hardy Beta 1 defaults to linux-rt and linux-image-rt but linux-headers-generic

2008-03-24 Thread Steve Church
Public bug reported: 3rd-party kernel modules won't compile if the headers don't match `uname -r`. Shouldn't the installer install linux-headers-rt, or at least default to linux-generic instead of linux-rt? ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Hardy Beta 1 defa

2011-09-10 Thread Steve Church
I've been having a similar issue in Debian Squeeze on my desktop PC. I think I just found a workaround not involving looping "xset dpms force off" every 2 seconds. I also think it's a problem with xorg; or perhaps more likely in my case, a problem between my chair and keyboard. I have an older N

Here's another workaround. I had to recompile my kernel anyway to re- enable ALSA OSS emulation (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/579300 for the full story if you're interested). Disabling CONFIG_IR_STREAMZAP in the kernel (Device Drivers --> Multimedia Support --> Streamzap PC Remote IR Recei

@Daniel Chen, Mythbuntu uses XFCE as the desktop environment. Do you happen to know the name of the command that launches whatever pulse configuration interface that isn't deprecated? There's nothing relevant in XFCE's menus, so I'll have to launch from the bash prompt. Thanks! -- Please disa

I get that OSS has been deprecated for quite some time. I get that deprecated features eventually disappear. I get that the only way developers will stop developing for OSS is for OSS no longer to exist; and likewise for hardware manufacturers' depending on OSS. As an end user, I want my stuff t

@Fabien Lusseau See attached screenshot. In this circumstance, "deprecated" is not my opinion. It is a development state. I should have specified "OSS, such as is included with the Linux kernel, is deprecated." Mea culpa. ** Attachment added: "deprecated.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ub

Huh. Welcome to Microsoft Linux. That's... interesting, but terribly inconvenient. It turns out this OSS garbage is responsible for my (cx8801) TV tuner cards' being able to capture audio from analog cable. Now due to an unfortunate bit of misguided and premature (but well-intentioned, I'm sure

Hey Mr. Chen, Firstly, thanks for responding. It's nice not to be ignored. And thank you for your hard work. Open source software would not be worthwhile without the efforts of people such as yourself. Now. Pulseaudio is not a solution. Pulseaudio blows goats. I've never had it installed an

I just reinstalled pulseaudio last night. I immediately remembered why I had uninstalled it in the first place. padevchooser does not detect or let me choose iec958 5.1 channel output. My machine is connected to my audio receiver via either optical or digital coaxial line (I can't remember off t
