Bug 40401 – Installing ltsp-sound breaks gdm on terminal side

• Status: RESOLVED LATER
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Dylan Fitzgerald 2004-02-04 12:47:00 UTC]

With just the masked ltsp-core installed, etherbooting my terminal (a Pentium 200 with 96MB of RAM, other specs available as needed) works fine, boots into X, and displays the GDM login screen.  Once the masked ltsp-sound package is installed, etherbooting still works correctly and X starts, but GDM never displays.

As an addendum, I did not yet turn on sound support in lts.conf, so it shouldn't even be attempting to load anything.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge ltsp-core ltsp-sound
2. etherboot a network client.
3.

Actual Results:  
The emerge works fine, but etherbooted client never displays a login screen.

Expected Results:  
Following X startup, GDM should be displayed.

It probably was the ltsp4 core you emerged. You don't need and shouldn't be using ltsp-sound then. Ltsp4 includes already ltsp-sound and ltsp-sound ebuild in portage is ment for ltsp3 core. So it should break something with ltsp4... 

[Comment 2 Dylan Fitzgerald 2004-02-05 06:07:51 UTC]

Heh.  Silly me, it -would- be something like that.
I suppose, in that case, that ltsp-core for version 4 and the ltsp-sound package should be mutually blocking.

[Comment 3 Andres Toomsalu 2004-02-05 06:22:27 UTC]

I'll fix the ltsp-sound ebuild in cvs soon to depend on ltsp-core 3 and not newer...
