No Sound In Linux

[demonboy]

I've just noticed that my alarms do not sound in Ubuntu 10.10. I have
checked my audio set up and can happily play audio tracks in VLC etc,
so my laptop is configured correctly. Any clues?

[Dominik Obermaier]

Hi Jamie,

I think this could be related to this bug: https://github.com/ccidral/tomighty/issues/17 

Can you confirm the error messages? (If you start tomighty via terminal, you should see the errors when sound is not playing)

Hi, can you check if you are using openjdk or sun java?

openjdk jre did not work for me, sudo update-java-alternatives -s
java-6-sun made the trick.

Hi

sounds are "mostly" working for me on a Ubuntu 10.10 32 bit using sun jre (1.6.4_24 ) .The only caveat seems the sound at the end of a Pomodoro which throws a LineUnaviableException

[demonboy]

I was using openjdk. I put in 'sudo update-java-alternatives -s
java-6-sun' as a single line and got this:

usage: update-java-alternatives [--jre-headless] [--jre] [--plugin] [ -
t|--test|-v|--verbose]
-l|--list [<jname>]
-s|--set <jname>
-a|--auto
-h|-?|--help


Is that right?

Dominic, the error messages I was getting was this:

Try this:

sudo update-alternatives --config java

By the way, I didn't know that openjdk was completely failing to play sounds.

Regardless of the JVM, I must be doing something wrong in the sound
code. Another user said that Tomighty is taking over the whole sound
server under Linux:

http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/04/tomighty-pomodoro-technique-timer-for-linux/#comment-185668121

I will review the sound code and try to find out what's wrong.

It returns:

There is only one alternative in link group java: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-
openjdk/jre/bin/java
Nothing to configure.

[jakub rezek]

then you should probably do 'sudo apt-get instal sun-java6-jre' or
similar operation in synaptic/aptitude/what-have-you

In the github for Tomighty, it's mentioned that if you run Tomighty with Java 7, it will work.  I confirm that it works for me.  Here are the instructions for installing Java 7 on Ubuntu: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/09/how-to-install-oracle-java-7-jdk-in.html
