Public bug reported: I tried xcwcp on a system with a fresh ubuntu 18.04 LTS install with ubuntu-hams-updates ppa installed. It gave an error on the commandline:
xcwcp: PulseAudio output not available (device: ( default )) with pulseaudio being available fine, so I expected it to use pulseaudio. With strace I found it tries to use libpulse-simple.so which is not available. I fixed it by making a softlink /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu$ sudo ln -sf libpulse-simple.so.0 libpulse- simple.so So this is an incompatibility between a freshly installed libpulse0 and xcwcp. xcwcp: Installed: 3.5.1-2 Candidate: 3.5.1-2 Version table: *** 3.5.1-2 500 500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status libpulse0: Installed: 1:11.1-1ubuntu7.2 Candidate: 1:11.1-1ubuntu7.2 Version table: *** 1:11.1-1ubuntu7.2 500 500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:11.1-1ubuntu7 500 500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/main amd64 Packages ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 Package: xcwcp 3.5.1-2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-70.79-generic 4.15.18 Uname: Linux 4.15.0-70-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.9 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: XFCE Date: Sun Dec 1 15:19:37 2019 InstallationDate: Installed on 2018-12-22 (343 days ago) InstallationMedia: Xubuntu 18.04.1 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Release amd64 (20180725) SourcePackage: unixcw UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: unixcw (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug bionic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1854630 Title: xcwcp doesn't use pulseaudio To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unixcw/+bug/1854630/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
