[Bug 285914] New: Sound hangs on CPU frequency change

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=285914 Summary: Sound hangs on CPU frequency change Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Alpha 5 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Sound AssignedTo: tiwai(a)novell.com ReportedBy: ray(a)openland.cz QAContact: qa(a)suse.de Found By: --- First of all I must say, that I am using openSUSE 10.2, but I have selected openSUSE 10.3 product, because I am using latest kernel from HEAD repository. Hardware Environment: Asus A6Km Software Environment: e.g. Amarok audio player Problem Description: I have Asus A6Km with AMD Turion 3200+. It has Realtek ALC650 integrated sound card and is working fine. Recently, I bought Creative Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 24-bit External for this laptop, because I have already one connected to my desktop computer (openSUSE 10.2 x86) and works fine too. However, when I connect Sound Blaster to my laptop, sound hangs randomly. I spent lot of time finding the reason, because there was nothing in logs, dmesg etc. Finally I found, that it is caused by CPU frequency scaling. When CPU speed is changed, than sound hangs - to reboot help only disconnection of Sound Blaster. When I fix CPU frequency, than Sound Blaster works like the other one in my desktop computer - fine. I found only two refs describing similar/same problem: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-laptops/63126-sound-problems-cpu-ste… http://alsa.opensrc.org/Tascam_US-224 Steps to reproduce: 1) Connect Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 24-bit External 2) start some audio output with your favorite player 3) wait on frequency change 4) Sound hangs 5) For successful reboot, it is necessary to disconnect Sound Blaster Hope, you can help me. If you will need any other info, just ask me. I also submit bug to Alsa bugzilla (ID: 0003097) month ago and kernel bugzilla (ID: 8648), but there were no response. I am not sure whether this is sound subsystem related issue or USB subsystem issue (my laptop has SIS chipset, which is not so often used like others). May be I am absolutely wrong putting this bug report to this bugzilla, so if anyone from Novell staff decide, that this report is not related to this bugzilla, but only to kernel/alsa bugzilla, feel free to close it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=385376 Summary: Package 'python' does not build correctly on PPC64 Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: PowerPC-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Development AssignedTo: pth(a)novell.com ReportedBy: sergiodj(a)linux.vnet.ibm.com QAContact: qa(a)suse.de Found By: --- Hi, I'm currently trying to build the last version of Python's src.rpm (namely python-2.5-19.6.src.rpm) on a biarch machine (i.e., 64-bit kernel and mostly 32-bit userspace apps). The 32-bit build works properly: #> rpmbuild --target ppc -bb SPECS/python.spec << OK >> What happens is that, when I try to build it for PPC64, some errors occurs: #> rpmbuild --target ppc64 -bb SPECS/python.spec ..

Only after that this error came up. I'd like to know what can be done to fix this. Actually, what's happening is that I don't have (and haven't found) the package sqlite3 for PPC64. I've also tried to build it from its src.rpm, but fell in another dependency case and gave up. Obs.: I've made a tiny modification on Python's spec file in order to be able to compile it for PPC64: --- SPECS/python.spec 2008-01-10 09:59:23.000000000 -0800 +++ SPECS/python.spec.new 2008-04-30 11:11:49.000000000 -0700 @@ -217,6 +217,9 @@ # use rpm_opt_flags ######################################## export OPT="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS" +%ifarch ppc64 ia64 +export CC="gcc -m64" +%endif ######################################## # regenerate ######################################## -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
