I just downloaded and tried the 8.10 beta desktop i386 live CD, and I still get the "Start error: File descriptor in bad state" error. These are the commands I ran after booting the live CD (in safe graphics mode, because the machine hangs during boot otherwise):
sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev sudo apt-get install libc6-dev sudo apt-get install libasound2-dev apt-get source alsa-lib cd alsa-lib-1.0.17a/test cc pcm.c -lasound -o pcm ./pcm --method=async -- ALSA asynchronous notification transfer method doesn't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153249 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
