[Pkg-games-ubuntu] [Bug 442535] Re: wesnoth no sound, high cpu usage, can't quit without freezing the application

[Don Atkinson]

Thank YOU, Rhonda- I'll  tell you where I've been since my posts
above...  :)  Pulse Audio is re-enabled, I believe that is not the
problem.  Maybe.  Anyhow, I went back into Software Sources in my new
Karmic beta software and changed my download source from Columbia.edu to
the United States server.  This gave me hundreds of new download files
*sigh*.  Then, to be sure, I checked the Canonical main server and
downloaded 2 MORE updates.  I rebooted after the downloads and the CPU
usage is very well behaved now, very low.  But still, (and it has
happened twice now) my sound will stop in Wesnoth.  When this happens I
can save my progress in the game, but I cannot quit Wesnoth.  I have to
kill it in my system monitor processes and then reload from my save.
All through this event my CPU usage is stable and very low, never
spiking.  I just did a quick search on 'sdl' (so you know I tech savvy
*I* am, lol) and it appears to be similar to Microsoft's DirectX.  I
don't know if I have any other games that use it.  Or do all games use
it?  Anyhow, in a quick trip to Wesnoth's Forum it appears there are
some bugs here and there on all operating systems that are being worked
on, some issues seemingly very similar to mine.  At this point Wesnoth
is playable and I love it dearly, tons of fun.  I know I've played it
for hundreds of hours- perhaps I have a problem.  :P

Karmic Koala is still in Beta, Wesnoth is always improving, I'm patient
and can't live without it...  so it will all work out in time.  In the
meantime I'll try to see if I can find an 'sdl' application!  :)

Don

Status in “wesnoth” package in Ubuntu: Invalid

Bug description:
Binary package hint: wesnoth

I hear no music or sound, wesnoth freezes after trying to close the game by pressing button "quit". Removing settings folder and starting the application fresh doesn't help:
rm -r .wesnoth1.6/

It also freezes after trying to untick all sound options in sound preferences (buttons sound, music, unit sound, something else...)

At all time it attempts to use 100% cpu
