Re: [Svxlink-devel] Upgraded Ubuntu and SvxLink Can't Open Sound Card

[Yehuda K. <ya...@um...>]

Oddly enough, after I rebooted to complete the 14.04 upgrade, I noticed
that /proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/sub0/status is showing RUNNING instead of
closed.
The process running it was remotetrx (which I never remember configuring).
Once I killed it, the server started with no trouble.

I will poke around to see if I can find what started remotetrx.
