This looks like https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-media/+bug/61211. The Ubuntu (audio) setup from a few years ago doesn’t exactly match Today’s tails, so this will take some more digging.

Just a random idea: in config/chroot_local-includes/etc/asound.conf we configure ALSA to use PulseAudio by default. Perhaps this config lacks some bits about inputs?

Now wearing my backup RM hat: there are less than 2 days left to get a fix in for 2.6. Any chance this happens, or should I instead revert the addition of GNOME Sound Recorder?

Let’s revert for now. Sorry for the trouble.

Done. No problem! I should really have tested this myself before merging.

So Tails 2.6 has been delayed until 2016-09-20, so if this can be fixed until 2016-09-19 we can still make this happen. Any chances for that?

I will have a chance to look for sure, but since I haven’t figured out the issue yet, no guarantee of a fix :)

sound-recorder changed substantially between the wheezy and jessie, which is what broke it. The pulse/audio bits did not. No fix yet.

FWIW this problem is still there in Tails 3.0~alpha1, after installing gnome-sound-recorder 3.21.92-1 by hand.

hybridwipe, any status update or ETA?

So I searched my email to check the debian bug, and I found I didn’t file the bug I thought that I had :(. I have filed one now:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=852870

Sorry about that!

I also filed one upstream with Gnome: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777862

Thanks! I’m marking the Debian bug as forwarded upstream, then.

FYI, I’ve gotten a response from upstream maintainer, who thinks it’s an issue with old glib. I see the issue on my debian unstable machine, with an allegedly unaffected glib, however. Investigation continues..

Turns out it was a missing gstreamer pulseaudio plugin. I’ve reported that to Debian. It would be simple enough to workaround by manually installing both packages (with a comment), until Debian accepts the patch.

I’ll try to make a patch and test in the next couple days.

Amazing!

Agreed for 2.x (although technically it might be worth fixing the bug in Jessie). For Tails 3.0 though, let’s fix that in Debian and revert our own workaround. I’ve proposed the maintainers to NMU.
