The slmodemd in the Ubuntu repository seems to be broken for ALSA support. For example:
sudo sl-modem-daemon-2.9.10+2.9.9d+e-pre2/usr/sbin/slmodemd -c USA --alsa modem:1 SmartLink Soft Modem: version 2.9.9e-pre1 Sep 30 2007 00:07:03 symbolic link `/dev/ttySL0' -> `/dev/pts/1' created. modem `modem:1' created. TTY is `/dev/pts/1' error: getpwnam Slmodemd: Success --------- However: ls -l /dev/ttySL0 /dev/pts/* crw--w---- 1 marv tty 136, 0 2007-10-06 09:07 /dev/pts/0 crw--w---- 1 marv tty 136, 2 2007-10-06 08:50 /dev/pts/2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2007-10-06 09:06 /dev/ttySL0 -> /dev/pts/1 so the reported port /dev/pts/1 was in fact NOT created This can be contrasted with the slmodemd from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ within the tarball SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz $ sudo slmodemd -c USA --alsa modem:1 SmartLink Soft Modem: version 2.9.11 Aug 6 2007 22:02:27 symbolic link `/dev/ttySL0' -> `/dev/pts/1' created. modem `modem:1' created. TTY is `/dev/pts/1' Use `/dev/ttySL0' as modem device, Ctrl+C for termination. Opening another console and checking: $ ls -l /dev/ttySL0 /dev/pts/* crw--w---- 1 marv tty 136, 0 2007-10-06 09:12 /dev/pts/0 crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 136, 1 2007-10-06 09:12 /dev/pts/1 crw--w---- 1 marv tty 136, 2 2007-10-06 09:14 /dev/pts/2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2007-10-06 09:12 /dev/ttySL0 -> /dev/pts/1 port creation is confirmed. On Waleed' system the command would be that appropriate to HDA card hosted modems $ sudo slmodemd -c USA --alsa hw:0,1 or $ sudo slmodemd -c USA --alsa hw:0,6 as constrasted to my AC'97 type using modem:1 Note that to provide ALSA support for slmodemd (as I did for the SLMODEMD* tarballs, the slmodemd MUST be compiled within the modem/ subfolder with command $ make SUPPORT_ALSA=1 MarvS scanModem mantainer ------- -- Motorola SM56 Win-modem https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/61671 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
