I got all things working on F8 but then this shows up. I think
there is a way to stop it but not sure now what it is. When I try to
use the sound card transmit wise I get this error message:
*** opensnd: open: /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy
I do not know what opensnd is but /dev/dsp has root privledge. I
wonder if the error is due to the root /dev/dsp?
I went to my working gmfsk on F7 and I found I start it with aoss
gmfsk and it is the aoss that stops the problem. Alas when I try #yum
install aoss on F8 it says no such thing. I wonder what I should call it?
yum install alsa-oss. Sounds like gmfsk is an OSS-only application. If
you built it from source, do "./configure --help" and see if you can add
an "--enable=alsa" or some such flag so it'll run on ALSA without having
to emulate the old OSS layers.
I must do something. The use of $ aoss gmfsk & worked fine on F7 but
does not work at all on F8. I have no idea why. It took me 3 hours to
figure out how to get aoss loaded on F8, and then after doing that it
doesn't work.
Do you still have pulse-audio enabled? That may be hosing it. It'll
fight with OSS. "yum remove alsa-plugins-pulseaudio"
No I turned off pulseaudio the first thing after getting F8 loaded.
It was causing VLC no end of troubles.
And it seems F8 has the F7 problem of putting up a full screen cross
hatch image and it disconnects the mouse and keyboard. This is a real
problem because you can only turn off the computer. I may have to go
back to FC4 which has none of these problems :-)
