Ubuntu Multimedia :: Missing /dev/dsp After Upgrade To 10.10?
Oct 27, 2010
I run Mythbuntu. Relevant to this thread, I have the following hardware: An Nforce4 onboard sound card A pcHDTV HD5500 ATSC/NTSC/ClearQAM tuner A Pinnacle PCTV HD card, also tunes ATSC/NTSC/ClearQAM Sound from the PC goes through an optical cable to a receiver for 5.1 digital / DTS audio. That's working smashingly. The digital portions of both the pcHDTV and Pinnacle cards play in realtime and record equally well. Huzzah! Additionally, the analog video capture works -- the /dev/vbi0 and vbi1 devices are there. It's the analog audio capture with which I'm having problems. With Ubuntu 10.04 and earlier the analog v4l devices were accompanied by /dev/dsp#. Now they're gone. Where'd they go?
As a side note, I know ALSA sees my video capture audio devices, as alsamixer lets me choose among the three cards -- one NVidia (set as default), and two Connexant CX8801 devices. Everything's unmuted, set to a high volume, and capture enabled. I look in /dev/snd and I see a bunch of bs I don't recognize, nor does it seem to have very intuitive naming. Just for giggles, in the Myth backend setup, I went ahead and manually set the non-existent /dev/dsp0 as the audio capture device for the pcHDTV card. Then I methodically did a ln -s /dev/snd/controlC0 /dev/dsp0, replacing controlC0 with each file in /dev/snd in turn and turning on live analog TV through the pcHDTV. No permutation worked. So then I did cat /proc/asound/devices, with the following results:
Code:
2: : timer
3: : sequencer
4: [ 0- 2]: digital audio capture
5: [ 0- 1]: digital audio playback
[code].....
I'm guessing that lines 11 and 13 refer to my pcHDTV and Pinnacle cards. With that in mind, in Myth backend setup I replaced the audio capture setting with ALSA:hw:1,0 and 2,0 respectively. Is there any way without having to go through recompiling the kernel to restore /dev/dsp functionality? If not, then how can I tell what devices are my analog audio capture devices so I can point Myth backend setup to the correct devices?

Aptitude has upgraded Icedove to version 3.0.4 today on my squeeze-amd64 system. Debian's Enigmail package is conflicting with that version of Icedove, though, and won't install therefore. I can't install enigmail as an Icedove add-on either, because the add-on is telling me that the Icedove build type "Linux_x86_64-gcc3" ain't compatible with it.

I recently upgraded from 10.04 to 11.04 in order to fix a weird problem I was having in which I was forced to reinstall NVidia drivers every single time I booted into Ubuntu. Fortunately, The problem went away after the upgrade, but it was replaced with a bigger problem called "Unity". After a few minutes of being unable to literally do anything in this Unity interface, I logged out and used the "Classic Ubuntu" which would be GNOME 2.32.1. This interface was missing many of my old GNOME Panel applets, and it was unable to be patched with the unofficial vertical task bar fix, making "Classic Ubuntu" nearly as ineffective as Unity.
I decided to go the route of Avant Window Navigator as my replacement vertical task bar. It works great! I have it working together with a crippled GNOME Panel with just enough functionality to be good enough for my heavy development work. There's only one problem... I can't find the GNOME Panel CPU Monitor applet! The one that comes with Avant does not show me cumulative CPU usage over time, which is what I need. This is what I had before the upgrade.

When I was running 10.04 I was able to select the sleep option in XFCE's logout menu and it worked perfectly. I've just done a fresh install of 10.10 and now the sleep option is missing. How can I bring it back?
I'm running a Sony Vaio Laptop.

I downloaded the release version of 11.04 desktop 32bit today and ran into a problem with the upgrade. Not sure if I missed a step or not, but when I booted the CD to do an Install of 11.04 desktop 32bit over 10.10 desktop 32bit I expected to see the upgrade option similar to what is in this link (red arrow pointing to it):[URL]... On my install screen all the other options were there except the upgrade.
Since I was on a schedule for this particular computer I am doing the Update Manager Network upgrade instead but I have 3 other computers to do as well. Any ideas on what I might have missed? Should I have booted to Live version first instead of Install then look for an upgrade option somewhere? I read something that alluded to that on a website.

I am having problems with the display of all application windows after upgrading to 11.04.The problem is present in both Unity and 'Classic'The top of application windows appear behind what used to be called the launcher (ie. the panel at the very top of the screen).Application windows can not be resized to fill the full screen either - so I have about 3cm of space at the bottom of the screen that application windows' can't go into and about 12cm on the right of the screen too. 3 example screen shots (in classic mode) attached .My system is:Release 11.04 (2.6.38-10-generic onx86_64)Nvidia Graphics card GeForce 9400 GTAm using CompizConfig (CompizConfig Settings Manager 0.9.4)Screen resolution is 1440 x 900

Since doing an upgrade from Koala to Lynx, my volume control (up in the top right corner of the screen) has vanished. I can still mute and control volume by going into the Sound menu in Preferences, but I really miss having it on the taskbar.

After upgrading from 9.10 to 10.04 I lost my windows control buttons (minimize, maximize, close)
Code:
metacity --replace
Command works to restore my buttons but I've got a couple problems
1. I have to leave this terminal open permanently. If I try to close it (and "kill" the process) not only do I lose my windows controls but my keyboard stops working entirely.
2. Have to put this in every time I log back in.
Is there a better solution for restoring my windows control buttons (i.e., one that doesn't require me to open a terminal every time I log in?)

I've just upgraded to the newest distro (and was amazed how smooth it went) via the update manager, but it seems that I've lost firefox (and my bookmarks :/ ) in the process. Is there any chance that I get my bookmarks back?

This evening I went through the upgrade process to 10.04. The entire process went well until reboot time. At that point fsck was run and stopped after checking the first physical hard drive. After some time I skipped (s). When I tried to log in, warning messages informed me that Nautilus could not access it's folders in our home folder. ls /home/ brings up nothing, nada zilch. Some poking around confirms that the drive is there but Ubuntu seems unaware of it.
The configuration:
Physical hd #1 is: sda a 40Gb hard drive with windows and Ubuntu / and swap.
Physical hd #2 is: sdb a 120Gb hard drive with our /home partitions.
Seems Ubuntu is simply not detecting the drive?

I use several keyboard layouts all the time. In all previous versions of Ubuntu I could see which one is current. After upgrade it is not showing anymore -- there is just an irrelevant picture. If I click on it -- I see current layout name -- but not other layouts. There I need to select "Keyboard Preferences" in order to see others. Because I often switch between layouts -- this simple feature is VERY important. Why it is broken in Ubuntu 10.10?

Last night I attempted to upgrade my Ubuntu 10.10 (amd64) machine. After reboot (it installed a new kernel), the grub menu only had the memtest. Booted into a livecd and it seems that I was missing most of the files in /etc/grub.d/. Reinstalled grub-common and grub-pc didn't seem to restore the files. I ended up having to download the dpkg, expand it and copy the files manually so I could get the box generate grub.conf and boot up. I think grub may have been broken before the upgrade but exhibited the problem when it upgraded the kernel and reran upgrade-grub but I can't seem to figure out why reinstalling grub doesn't add the files back.

I am using slackware-current 32bit version. After upgrading from kde 4.2.4 to 4.3.4 (using slackpkg), all my K-menu icons were missing.
There are also no icons in task managers for all kde-based applications like konsole,dolphin etc.. But for non-kde application like firefox, wicd and xmms, the icons show up in task manager. I have tried reinstalling kdebase, kdebase-runtime and kde-userspace with no luck.

I recently upgraded from fedora 10 to fedora 11, everything seemed to go fine until I started eclipse and noticed that the java perspective was now missing. It was there before the upgrade, but something seems to be broken now. However, I can't find any error files, so I have no clue as to what may be broken. I looked around online to see if anyone else had a similar issue, but could not find anything that seemed to help. One site suggested that it was caused by not having the eclipse-jdt package installed, so I double checked that but already had it installed.
$ rpm -qa | grep -i eclipse | sort
eclipse-jdt-3.4.2-9.fc11.x86_64
eclipse-platform-3.4.2-9.fc11.x86_64
[code].....
Another site said that something in my .eclipse directory might have been corrupted and suggested moving it and letting eclipse create a new one, but this all did not . I was unable to find any other information about what could be causing this or how to fix it.

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
package-cleanup --dupes
rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

I upgraded from fedora 11 to fedora 13 which upgraded Netbeans from 6.5 to 6.8. Now 6.8 complains that package javax.persistence does not exist. Is this a fedora problem or a Netbeans problem? I've looked in the netbeans forums and can't find any discussion of this.

Last weekend I upgraded my Opensuse 11.1 machine (pretty clean) to 11.3. After the upgrade, the NVidia graphics no longer worked, but more importantly, eth0 was not bound to my Intel 82566DC gigabit ethernet controller. I fooled around in yast network devices long enough to know that everything there is configured correctly. The Yast message at the bottom of the Network Settings screen says:
"Unable to configure the network card because the kernel device (eth0, wlan0) is not present. This is mostly caused by missing firmware (for wlan devices). See dmesg output for details."dmesg output shows nothing related to networking. The boot screen shows:
Setting up (localfs) network interfaces:
lo ...
Waiting for mandatory devices: eth0 __NCS__
29 28 27 ... 1 0 ... failed
eth0 no interface found ... failed
[code].....
Any ideas here? I've googled till my fingers were tired and all I've found are references from folks with real hardware issues. This machine worked fine for me under 11.1. Now I can't get 11.3 to bind the nic.

After upgrading to CentOS 5.3, emacs is unable to locate its default font. (I've been able to supply emacs with a command-line or config-file link to a different installed font, but that's a workaround, not a solution.) I'm not sure if this is a packaging error, an error in our repository configuration, or something else. Below I've inserted some info that seems relevant. I'd be happy to post other information as requested. I've also attached a probably unnecessary screenshot of emacs displaying little blocks instead of characters at the very bottom of this post. Here's the command-line error thrown by emacs on startup:
[Code]...
whether one of emacs's needed fonts has been moved from one package to another in the latest upgrade. Or (most likely) it's something else I haven't thought of.

I was running Ubuntu 9.10 on my HP G70 laptop and did an upgrade using upgrade manager to Ubuntu 10.04.
Since I haven't been able to get wifi connection or wired working. The Network Manager applet is missing from the notification area and if I try to run nm-applet manually it says it is already running. I tried killing the process and then running it manually in the terminal and although the process appears to be running it is missing from the panel.
Booting into the live cd has the applet working fine so something in the upgrade process must have failed.
I tried changing the theme to see if it displays in other themes but had no luck.
I also tried to log into kde but kde seems to be broken. When I log into it after the splash screen all I get is a black screen with only my mouse pointer.

I'm having a very strange error after upgrading to (K)Ubuntu 10.04.. basically Java Applets don't work in any browser (tried with Firefox, Chrome and Opera). The applet loads (plugin and JVM detected by all browsers) but it is grayed out. After trying all possible solutions I could think of (including installing alternatives jvm) I tried to run the browser as superuser: the applet is then working correctly. So somehow it seems to be a user right problem, but I'm not sure where this is coming from, both java (sun-6) and the browsers were installed and working ok in 9.10. Here is the directory list of /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/i386
Code:
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K 2010-05-07 14:03 client
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K 2010-05-07 14:03 headless

after an upgrade today (it's been about a week since last upgrade), synaptics forgot all settings I've set in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-x11-synaptics.fdi, although the file is still there. I can re-enable the desired settings via gsynaptics (more or less, because gsynaptics doesn't give me the option of two finger horizontal scrolling but that's no big deal), however after a restart it forgets the settings as well. There are some synaptics-related errors in /var/log/Xorg.0.log, but I don't understand them. Here's the snippet (the second half is maybe not synaptics-related but mouse-related, I'm not sure):
(II) config/udev: Adding input device "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" (/dev/input/event8)
(II) LoadModule: "synaptics"
