If you are using kernel version 4.15.1 you will need to patch osscore.c (see http://ossnext.trueinstruments.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5862 ) otherwise the required kernel module osscore.ko will fail to build. Do you know if anyone has managed to get this to work using Arch? I get similar er...

Thanks for the patch! :) Do you want to submit it to the main repo (here, I think: https://sourceforge.net/p/opensound/git/ci/master/tree/)? Not sure that it would get approved. I see that your merge request from Christmas 2016 is still awaiting approval. I've no objection if you want to include th...

Following changes to linux/timer.h in Kernel version 4.15 osscore.c will not compile. So that, a new "magic patch" might be needed to compile OSS4 for Linux kernel 4.15. Right? I'm no magician but, for what it's worth, I have wrote the following patch: --- oss-v4.2-build2017-src-gpl-orig/...

Quick question, has the 32-bit (x86) Linux TAR version been uploaded yet?
The link doesn't work for me:

@dev: Thanks for fixing the link.

Sorry for the newb question. I've had my wonderful lynxone in storage since the death of kmixer with vista. I saw this announcement and figured would be the perfect time to rebuild my music machine to use the lynxone again. I've now spent 12+ hours trying to get this pkg to work on FreeBSD 11 with ...

I didn't apply the ossvermagic one as I think it was before I started maintaining the AUR packages so I'm not entirely sure if it's always necessary or Arch-specific. Have you found it was necessary for other Linux distros as well? It seems that it does not make any harm for Linux Mint. I was ready...

I tried to install the *.rpm package from http://www.opensound.com via dnf. I tried to build oss from source from http://www.4front-tech.com/developer/sources/stable/gpl/ , too. In both cases I had failed to install the oss on my new fedora 25 with kernel 4.8.15-300.fc25.x86_64. I can list error me...

Could you please to explain me how to apply this patch on fedora 25?

How are you installing oss on Fedora? Is it done via dnf, RPM, or from source? Do you know if it uses the releases or is there one which points to the git source?

Thank you very much for all of your work. I confirm that the patch works and I've got working OSS on Ubuntu 16.10 with kernel 4.8. You're welcome, and thank you for posting back to confirm. I submitted this patch (and others) upstream as a merge request on the oss SourceForge git repo (https://sour...

For anyone else having this issue, I've made a simple patch (attached, and already included in Arch Linux AUR packages oss and oss-git) to make oss work with CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY in Linux kernel 4.8.

OK, I've confirmed that the issue is with CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY added in linux 4.8. I just tried with a custom Arch Linux kernel (4.8.13) without CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY and oss works fine. I'll try to make a patch for oss so it can work with this kernel config (which was added in 4.8 and seems ...

Just did a bit of quick research and it looks like there were some changes to the "copy_to_user" and related functions in kernel 4.8: https://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_4.8#head-51078e394a4497e6d1b9c8a7ffaf0c69eeba06e9 https://lwn.net/Articles/695991/ https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=ne...

As the subject says, oss is not working for me with the latest kernel versions - specifically 4.8.4 on Arch Linux. It seems to compile and install OK (using any of the various AUR packages: oss, oss-git, oss-nonfree) but osstest gives a segmentation fault: Oct 31 00:07:03 Alex-Arch01 kernel: usercop...
