Subject: ltsp-client: remote sound using pulseaudio broken

Date: Sun, 19 Jul 2009 01:29:29 -0700

Package: ltsp-client
Version: 5.1.76-1
Severity: important

the ltsp-client init scripts fail to start pulseaudio when run on squeeze. with
the same versions of ltsp, it works fine on lenny. either something is broken
in pulseaudio, or possibly one of the commandline options was dropped, causing
the pulseaudio binary to fail to start...

this seems to be (at least partially) the same issue that fedora was facing:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=486525 

pulseaudio apparently attempts to grab 64MB of ram, and fails if there's not
enough. adding "disable-shm = yes" and "shm-size-bytes 1048576" to the
/etc/pulse/daemon.conf appears to fix that.

additionally, newer versions of pulseaudio need write access to /var/lib/pulse,
which isn't writeable by default (it's not even present). should be easy enough
to add, either at boot time or in an ltsp-build-client plugin.

and if that wasn't enough, it appears that pulseaudio reads
/etc/default/system.pa, which attempts to load module-hal-detect by default and
other modules.  well, that causes it to fail to start. removing system.pa seems
to resolve the issue. not really sure how to cleanly handle that.

live well,

thanks

committed fixes in bzr, and will be uploaded once 5.1.77-1 migrates to testing. 

408664: ltsp-server: Please provide script to generate alien-arch chroot using
qemu

the fix isn't 100% complete, as it relies on static binaries, built in the qemu
packages from debian (and a newer version), but everything LTSP can handle is
largely dealt with, and brief documentation is provided to describe how get it
working.

Closes: 480664 537526 537639
Changes: 
 ltsp (5.1.79-1) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * new upstream version:
     - fixed LSB initscript headers to work with newer insserv
 .
     - work around newer pulseaudio versions, which require an absurd amount of
       ram and attempt to start hal modules we don't need.  also ensure that
       /var/lib/pulse is present and writeable at boot. (Closes: #537526)
 .
     - support cross-architecture builds using statically built qemu (0.11+)
       binaries and binfmt_misc. (Closes: #480664)
 .
     - allow /srv/tftp as an alternative tftp location. (Closes: #537639)
 .
     - change /etc/default/console-setup with the wanted layout so plugging USB
       keyboards will use it instead of falling back to default
 .
     - ensure that NBD root doesn't kill the root filesystem before shutting
       system down.
 .
   * reorder initscript installation order to work with dependency-based init
   * use README.Debian.sound from upstream
   * add example screen.d hook for "nodm" for local autologin
   * prefer inputattach over joystick, and remove architecture restrictions on
     joystick.
