-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Not even root can use my /dev/dsp file: nimrodel:~ # echo "Hello" | /usr/bin/festival --tts Linux: can't open /dev/dsp nimrodel:~ # echo Hello > /dev/dsp -bash: /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy Ok, it is busy, but by whom? nimrodel:~ # lsof |grep dsp nimrodel:~ # It is not opened by anybody! I know that if I reboot it works. But i don't want to reboot. I do: nimrodel:~ # rcalsasound restart Shutting down sound driver done Starting sound driver: intel8x0 done nimrodel:~ # echo "Hello" | /usr/bin/festival --tts nimrodel:~ # and now it works! So, who on earth had my dsp that didn't show up in lsof? Another tool to find out? - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFGCk2xtTMYHG2NR9URAi0YAJ91AMa2EhEcxZzo4W/K9dEU5orfUwCfbC5C Jf7uQuFHQRj92dvNegROQDQ= =R9Jg -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
