Did anyone manage to solve the pulseaudio package mess?

#2

I hope they remove it

#3

apt-get install pulseaudio stops because it depends on pulseaudio-module-udev, but if you read the changelog you see that the maintainer removed this dependecy because it was included in the main pulseaudio package

#4

I've noticed that too. I think we'll have to wait for the next release.

There is no mess. Just packages in a state of flux.

I like this guys attitude, from your link: (11:05:01 AM) jcastro: So first off, let's talk about why you WOULDN'T want to run a a dev release like lucid (11:05:03 AM) jcastro: a) You need to get work done (11:05:15 AM) jcastro: and b) Computer downtime or dataloss isn't an option (11:05:25 AM) jcastro: so, for example I know many ubuntu developers stick to a stable release (11:05:45 AM) jcastro: and use pbuilder or a VM to test their packages (11:05:52 AM) jcastro: some people have multiple machines (11:06:04 AM) jcastro: I personally always keep my laptop on a stable release until beta-ish (11:06:14 AM) jcastro: but on my desktop I let it rip with the brokeness.

So regarding pulseaudio. I just wait. Just because you see something is held back is no reason for concern.

[FONT="Courier New"]Off-topic and thinking to myself and probably should keep it to myself, I wonder why they don't just keep the 'held backs' off the update trail altogether. So the question never comes up in the first place. Regardless, I just wait and test with what I have presented to me.[/FONT]

Edit: Actually that entire discussion is worth a read and re-read. Good common sense approach to ubuntu+1 and why packages get held back.

Well, I dont think this can be resolved during a weekend without some basic Linux knowledge about compiling from source.):P

that's good, philinux. pulseaudio-module-udev is now integrated into the main pulseaudio package so it needs to be removed.

#14

excuse my ignorance but what is exactly the mess with pulseaudio.

I'd be very happy for just a simple explanation. Love all!

Some pulseaudio-related packages couldn't be upgraded due to a problem with dependencies. It's fixed now.

Cheers, thanks a lot. Where do you get the info for this? Mailing list?

I'm chrooted into lucid so I can see the updates before rebooting.

Been using the terminal to upgrade via chroot from karmic. Is there a good link to all the changelogs.

#19

Maybe here? https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/lucid-changes/

I view by date. This is updated when a new package version is committed.

Yippee. The latest pulseaudio updates have just broken sound...

#22

I get the hda intel power save thud but volume was set to nill. However raising the slider gives no sound.

#23

i845 integrated chip - the slider shows up, no sound with lucid. karmic O.K.

Fine here, went a little low, used alsamixer to set it back to max. Perfect.
