[SOLVED] Installation Error (No kernel modules found)

[nuc]

I'm so glad I could help! Your experience with oss is very similar to mine when I first installed oss

Yeah disabling vmix should also boost quality a bit. You could also try the Audacious player which in my opinion has got a superior oss plugin (latency is much lower, at least on my system).

Thanks! It was useful for me too.

I compiled it for amd64. https://mega.co.nz/#!E44X1QQR!vbR0NJsAw5npfoPjVMSDPaCzhUeihcujDHFjHW9TMVo

Hi,

This is what I'm getting (running 3.13 kernel / linux mint 17)

Code: Select all

I applied the patch. Am I doing something wrong? Thank you

[nuc]

Ah... lol why apply the linux 3.14 patch if you got linux 3.13? Makes no sense does it?

Build without the patch or use some precompiled package if available for your distro. If it's not in the repos try a .deb version from here. Choose amd64 if you've got a 64 bit system. Those are just trial versions though (1 year) so you would need to spend 10 bucks...

[exiteverything]

Hmm...I assumed I need the patch because the deb version wasn't working for me. It was actually returning the same error as above.

[nuc]

Please open a new thread then, exatly stating your OS specs (32 or 64 bits).
Create a clear directory and compile OSS without the patch. Post the exact error message. The above output clearly indicates some error messages that only occur when trying to compile OSS on kernel 3.14, so don't say it's the same.

[exiteverything]

My bad...I'm running 3.13, amd64.
oss-linux-4.2-2009_amd64.deb doesn't work with it as a number of symbols changed their definitions in 3.13 kernel.
New binaries should be up on the soon, so I don't think a new thread is necessary.
