Bug 426764

This might be a dup of bug 426275.

Please try running yum update to get the fix for this bug and try again.

If that doesn't work:
Have you done a default F-8 install? Normally you should be using pulseaudio,
so you should have a pulseaudio process in your "ps aux".

Note for me it says the following at startup:
------ Initializing Sound ------
Initializing SDL audio driver...
SDL audio driver is "esd".
SDL_AudioSpec:
  Format:   AUDIO_S16LSB
  Freq:     22050
  Samples:  512
  Channels: 2
Starting SDL audio callback...
SDL audio initialized.
----- Sound Info -----
    1 stereo
16384 samples
   16 samplebits
    1 submission_chunk
22050 speed
0x14e6dd0 dma buffer
No background file.
----------------------
Sound initialization successful.
--------------------------------

Can you please copy and paste your full sound init output, especially
interesting are these 2 lines:

Initializing SDL audio driver...
SDL audio driver is "esd".

I also reported https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=417761
and the solution there was...

    "You could consider disabling pulseaudio support in kde, via:
    yum remove kde-settings-pulseaudio alsa-plugins-pulseaudio"

...which I did.

# ps aux|grep [p]ulseaudio

yields no results.

Okay, I managed to reproduce this by disabling pulseaudio, this indeed is a dup
of bug 426275. Closing as such.

To fix it, run yum update (as I already asked you todo, just as I asked for the
relevant quake3 output, next time please follow instructions better when asked
for info), logout out and in again, and then it should work.

We seem to be both talking about fruit while I'm looking at an apple, and you
are looking at a pear!

1. my F8 install is from the KDE live image : alsa+pulseaudio but no esd.
2. I disabled pulseaudio as indicated above.
3. I run yum update almost daily.
4. I downloaded and installed linuxq3apoint-1.32.x86.run
5. I then copied over the executables from quake3-1.32c-linux.zip
6. I then ran "yum -y install quake3"
7. Finally I copied the pak0.pk3 from the Q3A disc to /usr/local/games/quake3/baseq3

The output I get is the same as the "additional info" accompanying my initial
bug report - 
    ------- sound initialization -------
    /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy
    Could not open /dev/dsp
    ------------------------------------
    Sound memory manager started

Mine starts with "sound initialization" while yours starts with "Initializing
Sound" - I'm cutting and pasting from konsole here.

Something tells me we're looking at different fruit!

It seems you are using an ancient quake3 binary from ID software??

This bug tracker is for the Fedora package of quake3, which is a package of the
modern SDL using ioquake3 quake3 engine.

Please move your pak0.pk3 and the other pak?.pk3 files from the point release to
/usr/share/quake3/baseq3

And then run /usr/bin/quake3, which should be the ioquake3 binary.

1. I never knew about ioquake3 before reading your post.
I just downloaded and installed it - it worked right out of the box as
"ioquake3" - perhaps the quake3 RPM should make explicit reference to it in it's
description.

2.  $ rpm -qi quake3
makes mention of "an applications menu entry, which will offer to download and
install the Quake 3 demo datafiles for you" - I see no such menu entry in KDE.

3. On my installation the pk3 files need to go to /usr/local/games/ioquake3/baseq3/

Thanks.

The Fedora quake3 package contains ioquake3, so there was no need to install it,
again please follow instructions, executing /usr/bin/quake3 propably would have
gotten you the ioquake3 that is part of the quake3 package. Before that you were
most likely using the older quake binary included in the
linuxq3apoint-1.32.x86.run, which you installed on your own account. You've made
a mess of things by installing 3 different quake's by now:
1) the original ID software quake3 binary from linuxq3apoint-1.32.x86.run
2) the fedora compiled ioquake3 version from the quake3 package
3) some kind of generic ioquake3 from who knows where

Works fine for me.

Because you are not using the Fedora quake3 version.
