Ubuntu Client - No Sound

[jsinclair]

I have installed the linux client on Ubuntu 7.10 gutsy, and for some reason I cannot get the sound to work with it. Here is the command I am sending:

./appserverclient -sap.domain.com -aApplication -uUsername -Slocal

Everything is working except the sound. Even printer mapping is working. If I use a standard RDP client in linux (rdesktop) to connect and tell it to map the sound, it works just fine. Also, it works just fine in opensuse and fedora. I have installed, reinstalled, etc.

Any ideas???

Thanks.

First of all the command line should be:

./appserverclient -sap.domain.com -aApplication -uUsername -Slocal=good

Second, check that the packages esound and esound-clients are installed. If not, install these packages and reboot. (For safety sake.)

After go to System > Preferences > Sound. In the dialog box select the ESD sound daemon from the drop downs and click on the test button. No errors should occur. You can then leave all entries as Autodetect.

After that run the application server client command.

Worked perfect. Thanks again for your help!


Also, if anyone would like to create a debian (.deb) package for easy installation on an ubunutu system, here's the steps:

sudo apt-get install alien

Download 2X tar.bz2 package, and convert it to a tar.gz package using your favorite archiving program (I used Archive Manager in the gui - File - Save As).

Then, in a command prompt run this:

sudo alien -d 2xApplicationServerClient.tar.gz --scripts

You will now have a .deb package for easy installation and management through the package manager.
