Subject: [Bug 601342] Re: kernel update breaks oss4

I am getting this error whenever I install or update packages.
I am a relatively new user of UBUNTU and wondered if I could get some 
instructions of how to download and apply this patch.

Thanks,

Richard

You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber
of a duplicate bug (618053).

Status in “oss4” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed

Bug description:
# BUG IMPACT:
Module fails FTBFS in lucid rendering oss4 unusable, fix at least allows the 
modules to build

# DEVELOPMENT BRANCH FIX:
oss4-4.2-build2003 dkms.conf in maverick uses 
/lib/modules/${kernelver}/build/include/linux/limits.h, this is the fix 
backported, currently lucid version uses 
/lib/modules/${kernelver}/source/include/linux/limits.h

# MINIMAL PATCH
oss4_4.2-build2002-2ubuntu0.1.debdiff attached to end of bug report

# TEST CASE
$ sudo apt-get install oss4-dkms
Building module:
cleaning build area....
cp /lib/modules/2.6.35-22-generic/source/include/linux/limits.h 
/var/lib/dkms/oss4/4.2-build2002/build/core && make -C 
/lib/modules/2.6.35-22-generic/build 
SUBDIRS=/var/lib/dkms/oss4/4.2-build2002/build/core modules && make -C 
/var/lib/dkms/oss4/4.2-build2002/build/drivers osscore_symbols.inc && make -C 
/lib/modules/2.6.35-22-generic/build 
SUBDIRS=/var/lib/dkms/oss4/4.2-build2002/build/drivers modules....(bad exit 
status: 1)

Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 2.6.35-22-generic (i686)
Consult the make.log in the build directory
/var/lib/dkms/oss4/4.2-build2002/build/ for more information.

dpkg: error processing oss4-dkms (--install):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 10
Errors were encountered while processing:
 oss4-dkms

nb: 2.6.35 kernel in example but verified broken on 2.6.32 lucid kernels too

# REGRESSION POTENTIAL:
The package is unusable as the module fails to build. Problems that could be 
caused by actually using the oss4 modules
are unknown but certainly possible

********** ORIGINAL MESSAGE **********
After running an update to a new kernel I got an error about packacge oss4-dkms. 
I ignored it, alas, and rebooted the next day. After reboot, all sound was gone. 
Indeed, no modules for sound were loaded. I remembered the error and forced a 
reinstall:

apt-get --reinstall install oss4-base oss4-dkms

This went wrong when installing oss4-dkms: it tried to update the new kernel 
(2.6.32-23-generic on 10.04 x64) to include the oss4 modules but couldn't 
proceed since /lib/modules/2.6.32-23-generic/source/ doesn't exist. I checked, 
kernel sources are installed. A simple ln -s 
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-23-generic/ /lib/modules/2.6.32-23-generic/source 
solved the problem.

Proposed solution: either have the oss4-dms package look in 
/usr/src/linux-headers-xxx for it's files, or create the symlink given above by 
default.
