Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately we can't fix it, because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.

We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures

At a minimum, we need:
1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem,
2. the behavior you expected, and
3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!

The symptom is not caused by geki2; it is caused by another component having grabbed the sound device (normally PulseAudio in Ubuntu 8.04).

Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) x86_64
geki2 2.0.3-8

Error message:
KXL error message
could not open sound card (No such file or directory)

Not a device conflict. Tried with aoss, padsp, and pasuspender.
