Did you test on x86_64?

I did indeed.

Reassign to QA then

Testing complete for the srpm amsn-0.98.9-0.1.mga2.src.rpm on Mageia release 2 (Official) for x86_64 ,and for me it works fine.

I can confirm that the bug 5119 is fixed and the bug 6272 too.

Testing also on Mageia 2, 64-bits. I have two remarks. First one is it seems that I have no sound. When I start amsn in terminal, I got 
$ amsn
Unable to open mixer /dev/mixer
And when I go to Ctrl+P > Others > Modify audio and video parameters, when I have to set audio parameter (step 3 and 4), I have no choice for output device and microphone and when I click on « Play the test file », I got « Could not gain access /dev/sound/dsp for writing » and the same message at the step 4 when I click on « Save ».

Second remark, I noted that aMSN installation does not propose to install farsight library althought that it think that aMSN needs it : if I go to Ctrl+P > Others > Modify audio and video parameters, it says me that I have to check is farsight library is loaded.

For this problem look at the bug: https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5119#c32 

Package "ossp" is missing and is not offered during installation.

Indeed, this problem is solved if I install ossp. So, the question is : why this package is not installed with the amsn one?

Looks like a missing require. Assigning Jani.

Please reassign to QA when you have had a chance to look.

Thanks!

Added ossp require to new amsn release [1]. We have several options now:

a) Push both amsn-0.98.9-0.1.mga2 and amsn-0.98.9-1.mga2 to core/updates.
b) Remove old amsn-0.98.9-0.1.mga from core/updates_testing and push only amsn-0.98.9-1.mga2 to updates.

[1] amsn-0.98.9-1.mga2

Thanks Jani. When this is pushed we can ask for the older version (amsn-0.98.9-0.1.mga2) to be removed from Testing.

Testing complete for the srpm amsn-0.98.9-1.mga2.src.rpm on Mageia release 2 (Official) for x86_64 ,for it's Ok.

Necessary dependencies are invoked and installed.

It does mean that this is also now affected by bug 2317 so adding a depends.

Mageia release 2 (Official) for i586

Latest version found in "Core Updates Testing" is amsn-0.98.9-1.mga2

The following packages will require linking when this is pushed:

Done.

This doesn't fix bug 5119 for me i586. Still see 'Unable to open mixer /dev/mixer' and when I try to configure the sound there is no mixer available to be selected. Also clicking on the button to test the sound gives a message about missing /dev/dsp.

Does it only work after a reboot?

(testing now)

Did you reboot your system (started osspd service) before launching amsn?

It seems it requires a reboot.

The osspd service cannot be started manually "osspd[8235]: ERR failed to setup mixer CUSE"

After a reboot it seems to work fine. The /dev/mixer message is gone and I can configure and play sound with amsn. Is there a way around this with a %post script? If not then we can validate but will have to make it clear in the advisory.

Did you try with old way "service osspd start" or with new systemd way "systemctl start osspd.service"?

# service osspd start

Dunno what our policies say, but at old MDV-times it was decided to not start services automatically after installation but after next reboot. User must start service by hand if he/she doesn't want to reboot.

And IMO you can't manage service from package bar in package foo's %post.

Do you want to look into this Jani or shall we validate?

I'd say validate.

Validating then.

Advisory:
========================

Updated aMSN fixes a segfault at login [1], and not recognizing any audio/video
devices [2].

Note: This adds a require on ossp which cures he problem with recognising audio/video devices. The osspd service will be automatically started at the next reboot so this will not take immediate effect.
