[Bug 102408] Re: Evince opens ALSA library

2008-09-08 Thread pierz
The fact that Evince appears to access audio is probably some side effect of libasound/esd linkage with some of the gnome libraries: Whilst a listing from ldd /usr/bin/evince shows up various audio related libraries (e.g. libasound), however readelf -d /usr/bin/evince does not, which would indicate

I have seen evince hold on to the audio device - Though I have only seen it after evince has been launched by Firefox - unfortunately it seems that Firefox does not close file descriptors when it spawns helper apps - hence if firefox has the audio dev open (quite often the case - e.g. after using F

Public bug reported: My main interface eth0 fails to bring up its IPv6 global address - despite having done so on Ubuntu 9.04. We have been running IPv6 for a few years without problem here. The interface has a link local address and sends out an RA to do DAD but the kernel (wrongly) seems to a

I spent some time looking in to this. In the end it was cured by disabling the ondemand service (which seemed to become enabled when I upgraded to 9.10). It seems that older processors like mine (Opteron 246) don't do ondemand very well and the result is a very sluggish machine. I the bug can be c
