Bug 351116 – games-kids/gcompris-9.5: no audio

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Peter Read 2011-01-08 13:34:12 UTC]

Audio was working in 9.2.2 but appears not to be working after upgrade to 9.5.  Working fine for all other apps that I generally use.  Appears to affect both wav and ogg sounds, literally no output.

Output from running gcompris;
** Message: Binary relocation disabled

Tried removing my ~/.config/gcompris.conf but no difference, also rebuilt sdl-sound and sdl-mixer to no avail.

Any ideas?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run gcompris
Actual Results:  
works fine but no sound.  unhappy toddler :)

Expected Results:  
Working with sound

Running under KDE - don't have gnome installed but if it really comes to it I can do for a test.  Will test with fluxbox shortly to try to rule out a KDE-specific issue.

[Comment 1 Frédéric Souchon 2011-01-16 10:32:58 UTC]

I solved it : it is a depedancy bug in the ebuild. I had the same problem and solved it installing gst-plugins-meta.

It shall be corrected.

[Comment 2 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2011-01-17 09:14:17 UTC]

what particular part of gst-plugins-meta was missing?

[Comment 3 Frédéric Souchon 2011-01-17 09:18:50 UTC]

I did not try individual gst-plugins. I noticed that the meta package do not include really ALL but the most important ones.

[Comment 4 Peter Read 2011-01-20 13:22:27 UTC]

Thanks!  I'll see if I can go through this evening and determine which plugin(s) are the real dependancy/ies.

[Comment 5 Peter Read 2011-01-21 05:23:36 UTC]

media-plugins/gst-plugins-alsa needs to be added to DEPEND :)  

Would throw in a patch but need to run for the train in a moment...

[Comment 6 Peter Read 2011-01-21 05:34:19 UTC]

Created attachment 260416 [details]
media-plugins/gst-plugins-alsa added to RDEPEND

ok trivial but here it is anyway (train delayed ;) )

Attached the whole ebuild but all that's changed is the addition to RDEPEND

[Comment 7 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2011-01-21 06:01:35 UTC]

great, thanks for tracking it down.

fixed in portage.

Thanks,

I see the fix it in the ~x86 version but not in the x86 one.

[Comment 9 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2011-01-22 08:33:22 UTC]

use 9.5

[Comment 10 Frédéric Souchon 2011-01-22 08:35:41 UTC]

It is the first time i submt a bug here.

Do you mean that you solve bugs in the ~ tree and that corrections are propagated in the stable trees later ?

[Comment 11 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2011-01-22 13:48:56 UTC]

soon 9.5 will be the only version in the tree.  So in a sense, yes, the second part of what you said.
